OK, I'm kinda sick of being attacked for my 'moderation' decisions, so after some face(MSN)time with Brainlove, we agreed that more than ever, DiS is about people.

The amount of friendships and more forged through this site is huge and some truly great things have come out of it. How could envision that Pagan Wanderer Lu would bag a 7inch on a label as a result of a friendship on here? Well, thems the facts.

So, here's what's going down. I'm going to be much looser on things. Blatant spam of a band will be removed, as will any targeted abuse of fellow boarders.

Plugging gigs that DiSsers have put together and are DiS social meets can be plugged on the Social board, as well as meet-ups for other gigs.

As for the earlier fracas with Traynor, I now see the error of my removal and am happy for something that people are truly passionate and interested in to be plugged. Obviously, if you take the piss, then I'll delete/ban as necessary.

Most of the time this place moderates itself as the majority tend to ignore the stupidity and the great threads prevail.

The last thing I want to do is suffocate this community, so go forth, multiply, make friends, lurk, post, whatever.

Just think before you press 'Post it'.
