Most should have read now that there has been some changes to the way the site is moderated. As you will have read I have assumed overall responsibility for the main soul forums, that is All About The Soul, Look At Your Box,, Yesterdays etc.

With the changes that have taken place we feel it is now the time to act upon the ever growing quantity of off-topic posts, often by the same few people.

These Soul Forums are the focal point of the site attracting people from all over the world with a vast amount of knowledge, a knowledge that most would like to expand. It is felt that the site is being and indeed has been dumbed down to such an extent that people have either stopped using Soul Source or are now simply occasional visitors contributing little or nothing at all. Many knowledgeable members are no longer seen and the off topic and mundane yes/no and list type topics are one of the main reasons. The loss of membership affects the site in several ways which we won't go into.

This is fact, with PM's from just yesterday complaining about off-topic and the mundane yes/no topics.

Now we have no wish to be a hard line dictator type moderation team, we like a laugh as much as the next person. We want this to be fun but also a place to learn about and discuss soul music and the Rare Soul Scene or whatever other name you wish to apply to it.

This has been a concern for some time now, with action taken against some members and a few topics lately where this has come to the surface but still some don't learn. BUT the majority of off-topic has to and will stop. The odd bit of light relief is fine, nothing wrong with a bit of banter but some members feel the need to constantly chip in with off-topic posts and throw away comments and mundane jokes.

So please take notice of what is being said, by all means have a laugh but keep everything in context.

We know who the main culprits are and they have two options, toe the line or they will be excluded. This is however aimed at everyone and we simply ask your cooperation and help.
