    Can we make the Eminen section an option when sorting recent posts? It's full of derivative nonsense and low effort posting and circlejerking. There is a forum called The Shelter for that.

    Or at least have some mods add them to the Official Eminem Discussion thread with some regularity. I can't be the only one over seeing a forum cluttered with the same trash about the same rapper.

    The forum is definitely in desperate need of some balance, but the member base is what it is right now.

    I think the best thing for this site is what we're currently doing, which is focusing SEO efforts to Kendrick and Drake. Following that we'll branch out to other rappers 2 at a time.

    The site is still in its baby stages, so there's not much you can really do at this point other than give the site time to form its identity.

    (1) A personalized recent posts feature to exclude sections you don't care about.
    (2) Better oversight in merging dumb threads with the official one.

    The first one might not be worth the effort, but the second one would take very little effort.

    Nothing you can really do about people posting their opinions and interests...

    This has been a complaint since 2011.

    This site needs an overhaul of moderators right now, that's something I recognize. I'll be making personnel changes as soon as I'm finished setting up this blog.

    As for the first suggestion, that's something worth developing. I'll do some research as soon as I have some off time and see if there's anything similar currently available. If not we'll pay to have something developed when we're in a better position financially.

    I've said this multiple times, but for the most part SL felt like a more mature version of TR shady to me. Myself and a few others out grew Eminem and there wasn't really much else there for us :manny: I recognize that this site would be all of about 200 people without the import of the SL database, but for the most part that site was full of stans who withstood Eminem's decline or cancerous trolls. I don't think I've ever seen a worse member base that the people on SL, that's just me be 100% honest.

    @Koolo recognizes this too though, and he's been working hard to create some balance here. I've been actively trying to add content to both the Kendrick and Drake forums to keep them off live support while Koolo has been trying to index the site higher for those artists on Goole.

    The blog I'm currently helping develop will create an every more diverse member base, you'll see what I mean when I launch it in a few days.

    Change is coming, just please be patient with us during this transition period.

    Em will always be the most popular rapper on this forum, I don't think anything will change that.

    I usually just ignore that section unless I'm really bored or see an interesting thread. For those of us from SL we've basically seen every possible Em discussion by this point.

    I'll retire from this forum if that's the case in 12-16 months still, bet.

    Kendrick will eventually be the most popular rapper on this site, Koolo is gonna make sure of that lol.

    The only complaint I have about the stans is when they're butt hurt and go into other artist's threads and start saying how "x" artist sucks and compare them to Em

    Same. Every thread about a new album or song turns in to a comparison of some s-----y Eminem album vs that joint lol :laff:

    I'll try policing that, but a lot of time it'll be a situation where a stan will be provoked. They'll say 'this is average' and another member will say 'its better than anything Eminem made in the last decade' and then it's a back and forth.

    When they stem like that, it's hard to moderate.

    Because TR and RapBasement closed for a reason. Their weirdly obsessive user base is barely an asset, and that's purely traffic and ad revenue.

    Shitposting is inevitable. Eminem spamming has to be defensible, or this site will fail. I offered some possible solutions.

    Just to make it clear though, it's never going to be about policing opinions.

    We just want to add a healthy balance of fan bases here, that's all.
