Can we have a "clean" trash can as well as a "dirty" one?

I.E. One that has no swearing, but pointless posts etc.?

[DC]

Trash is trash. If you dont like it, dont go in.

[Jono]

It's a fansite. The emphasis should be on Moyles stuff, why promote general discussion more?

[microchip08]

Can we have a Moyles-only forum as well, then?

And your UM forum's confusing...

People find lots of sub-forums confusing.

And good, it's serving it's purpose if it's confusing.

Better still, can we have a forum that has swearing but no pointless posts?

On reflection, that would be a very quiet forum...

isn't general supposed to be "moyles only"? chris, thanks for having the trash can, i know most people probably wouldn't even bother.

the trash can is what it is.

[Jono]

I certainly don't tolerate trashy topics on UM. So yeah, it's good this place does.

I presumed general was Moyles and Radio 1.

[kendra k]

what's your definition of "trashy"? it can't be off topic because UM definitely has that.

i guess the trash can is something of a free for all at times, but sometimes it's good to not have too much moderation. i know a few other forums i read are extremely strict, and i don't feel safe posting anything.

kudos to you chris!

[Jono]

Yeah hats off to him. Don't worry, not disputing anything about the way it's run at all. I just look down general and see posts like 'Simon and Mirquita Quit Popworld' and wonder where the line is between General and Trash.

Maybe microchip shouldn't be on the forum if he doesn't feel he can cope with the swearing in trash.

Because that's why people (i.e. me) keep coming back. The fact is, most of the people here are roughly around the same age as me and we all have a common interest (Moyles). To be honest, I think there should be a Moyles discussion section and an off-topic discussion section.

The fact that we all listen to Moyles automatically means (90% of the time) that we're not going to be easily offended.

He probably shouldn't listen to the show, either. Chris Martin got told off for using some naughty words on Tuesday's show, and I was surprised that one of last week's callers on Beep Beep Busters didn't get thrown off immediately for something he said.

Swearing doesn't bother me in the slightest (I'm a right !*@#ing potty-mouth), but I'm sometimes surprised at what Chris and Dave get away with on the show at a time when young children could easily be listening.

Sorry - that was completely off-topic. And pointless. And it gets me my star. Oops

Chris managed to find a massive trash can from Oxfam. It never needs emptying.

[MC]

I think this is how we should read it:

General - Moyles/Radio 1 only
Trash - Everything else

Granted the names are confusing, but that's pretty much the top and bottom of it.

[microchip08]

Nice discussion... how about a "discussion board"?

[LastMinute]

General - Moyles/Radio 1 only

Except for specific show or review discussion, which should go in Radio Show Reviews.
