House is a subgenre of electronic. When people say house, it's starting to have a very wide range, but electronic is even bigger, and I don't really want dubstep. House is pretty much percussion heavy edm, but unlike a lot of electronic it's not drowned out by wubs and dubs. It's often just a nice four on the floor kit pattern with a bassline and other stuff. But it's become kind of a wide term, so I'm just generalizing here.

House is electronic, but electronic isn't house, so just gonna leave it as is.

Vertex low rez is soooooo wide, holy shit.

I've started using it on my big monitors, just because. It uses all the space. None wasted.

I'm amazed at how I could possibly have ever even remotely liked inferno after using this for like a month.

Dump your favorite house here, doesn't matter what kind. I've got a shitload of favorites, but I will start with only one.

The pauses with the kick drum after 3:00 are just so wonderful.

I was restating in simpler terms for clarity, if only my own. But okay.

Sorry if I sounded like a dick, but I just thought it was funny that you both said the same thing and then both told me you said the same thing.

EDIT: I also think there should never be hard post requirements for rank advancement, they should be based on maturity and  experience as an admin. Not how much you post.

I believe that's how getting admin in general should be but since nobody likes that idea I'm suggesting other ways to get people to post since it's such a big deal. Also if they can make the admin app section visible but not accessible that's fine too; just not sure if it was possible on my older forum but maybe it is here.

Ah. Well, it's partially an issue of players who don't play on the same server as the person applying not knowing who they are. The applicant needs to have spent at least some time on vent/forums besides the server to be familiar with the community. Obviously this is why we have the requirement, but I just don't think we need a requirement to make this happen. Although, the only thing we'd benefit from by removing is lack of spam, which is nice.

Well, congratulations on saying the same thing, I obviously didn't read your post in detail. Anyway, restricting them from actually posting (while still being able to see the board) would have much better results.

They'll ask on the server how to apply for admin, someone will say to go to the forums, and they will go to the forums and not see the requirements or the board and just post in the gmod board.

Post *insert amount* to *see* the admin application board? And use Minimal requirements for going up in the admin chain?

This a horrible idea, you'll get a bunch of people posting in the gmod board asking for admin.

Maybe if you could stop people from posting in the application board until they have a certain amount of posts.

Also the fact that under admin qualifications post count is actually higher than playing on the server you're applying for baffles me.

Are you talking about the positioning of the requirement on the list?

I don't think it really matters.

It's also in bold and I was more using it as an example of how CG puts far to much emphasis on the importance of post count when it comes to admin applications. Also when something is on a checklist the top one is usually what is expected to be your top priority.

I think it should be there simply because nobody seems to read it, but yeah.

I think someone needs to stop reminiscing about a pass system with an entirely different playerbase. Incase you haven't noticed the majority (and by that I mean at least 95%) of admin applications that come in are for TTT. Although there are a lot of good people that play TTT there are also a lot of total fucking morons. Every once in a while we have a person come in and spam posts to try and get admin even though they never would anyways but this is a rare occurrence. Personally I would support raising it to 30+ just for the sake of getting to know that person better but hey, it's fine where it's at now. If we didn't have it all of those morons would be applying.

Those morons apply regardless of the requirement, it solves nothing.


Anyway, I understand the point of posting is a good thing and we want it to happen, but why is it an admin requirement? If an admin doesn't post they'll be denied. If they do then good for them, they don't need a requirement to tell them that. So what's the point? Why is it an admin requirement?

Because this way they cant say 'I'm active on the servers, and I simply lurk on the forums.' Its a concrete way of saying 'Hey, we know hes on the forums'.

That's true, but can't we just deny them and tell them they need to post?
