Topic: Admin Question

This is for any of the admin guys ... one thing I've noticed is some people on Chordie tend to ask alot of "theory" related questions ... could we make a forum geared strictly for "theory" type related questions?

It would be great to seperate it from the normal questions we usually get on here ... it would make referrencing anything to do with scales, modes, etc excellent

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Re: Admin Question

I'm not an Administ (if that's even a word) but I'm with you on this one. Brilliant idea.

Is anything really made up of zeros and ones??

Re: Admin Question

Hi Tim,

I have moved your post here as this is a better place for this discussion.

Ultimately the decision is Per's but I feel that your suggestion does have merit, to have a reference section for theory and save a lot of searching sounds good. I am a little concerned about administering it though, in releation to drawing the line as to what actually should be allowed in it, but on the whole I am in agreement.

Re: Admin Question

sounds good but there are a few other sections you could include that have been asked for in the past but never got a section ( sorry, canny remember exactly what ones)

Like Roger said, what would actually be allowed in it? what should be in it?

As it happens just now people still post wherever they like. I dont think they mean to most times, I see it as not looking for the rellevant section most times, and other times people might not have a clue how to use a forum. This would lead to more moderating to remove from one section and put in another.
Saying that, it is not that hard or too much hassle to move a topic,

I know a few here that would make good moderators for a section like this, some that have far greater knowledge than I and a lot of others do.

Lets see what Per says

Re: Admin Question

K thanks guys ... I know we're constantly asking Jerome, etc about theory questions ... I thought it'd be great to have a music theory forum ... anything and everything to do with specifically Scales, Modes, Music History ... you know questions on things in music classes we didnt take but they did!  tongue

I think it'd help out alot for the guys and gals that want to learn beyond the basic chords, etc where they can start asking questions about theory

Thanks for considering it though smile

Re: Admin Question

I think a section just for theory questions would be a good thing.  I also agree that Jerome would be a good person to moderate (if he is willing).  James

Re: Admin Question

Strangely enough Jerome was in my mind as the ideal victim, sorry candidate, to look after this section if it comes to fruition when I wrote my previous comment. It only goes to prove that great minds think alike!!!

Re: Admin Question

lol
we are going on about Jerome and he not even been asked, and Per has not even added this section in and might never lol

But remember if there is to be a section like this the moderator for the section is not a " Mr ask him and get an answer" Moderators moderate. Anything else they do like replying and answering etc is totally down to the moderator.
I just thought jerome because he would know more if a question/thread was to do with theory or not. I wouldnt expect Any individual to feel pressured into thinking they would have to reply to every question that popped up in a section

Re: Admin Question

I'm sure there's a few guys other than Jerome that would be able to answer theory-based questions ... maybe call the forum, "Music Theory:  On the Stool w/Jerome O'Neil" tongue

Hi Jerome ,

Welcome to the team, you will be a great asset to Chordie, unfortunately the pay is non-existent and getting to the Christmas party involves a lot of travelling lol, but it is great fun never the less.
