wildchild WILDCHILD - BLEEDIN BUNCH OF BABIES - BOO HOO

[Blink]

One site I go on (www.slimelight.com) (a gothic industrial night) has a comments/suggestions forum, which enables people to discuss good and bad bits about the club (the fav topic being dresscode / membership.....goth girls attract a lot of attention from townies). But it is a forum where ideas/grievances can be aired and discussed, and the management/promoters can comment as they see fit. I think it is a lot more constructive if someone goes "Do you think A's mixing was [censored] that night", and then someone else can reply "Yeah, but the headphone socket on the desk was dodgy, it has now been replaced", as opposed to just having a review which says "The quality of mixing that night was poor".

I think this approach is far healthier and more constructive.

Not that I am saying that the review shouldn't have been posted, maybe it should have been passed to the promoters, and them be given a chance to reply before it was posted, thus giving an opportunity for the promoters to say "We are aware of this and are doing this, making them pro-active, instead of re-active"

Surely we're all working for the same goal???

[Guyster]

Thanks James, means a lot

 

To be honest, we can't win. We're not going to convince a lot of people otherwise, and to be honest, all I want is for everyone to stop finger pointing and [censored] towards the next night. I think you'll agree we came out worse than anyone else.... crap I know but I guess that will satisfy some people...

WILDCHILD - BLEEDIN BUNCH OF BABIES - BOO HOO

 

I dont think this subject is too constructive either - in fact its slander.

I had a wicked night at Wildchild, but I do think it is wrong to pull areview you asked for, even if the person who wrote that review had some negative aspects on the night.. There is a comments section on HF for people to post after they have read the review, surely it would have been better to post Wildchild's comments there instead of asking for it to be pulled?

[SarahPVC]

Agreed!

I want to work on promoting for the next one & i don't think having such negative remarks on the board is going to be helping too much!

[Guyster]

Agreed!

Agreed. I seem to have spent the last 24 hours doing this. And I've just about had enough.

 

Rick - you're right in a way but what's done is done. With the benefit of hindsight it's easy to see. I think we've all learned our lessons from this one.

[Rick D]

Guy - If we had hindsight, we'd never make mistakes...

 

tbf, this one wasn't that hard to see what reaction you'd get though...

 

See you on the 5th if not over Easter...

[Guyster]

5th??

 

Errr 4th?? dont you mean?

 

You not gonna be there for the 19th in Wakey?? Your loss

 

 

[Rick D]

Whoops, yeah, the 4th...

 

Am considering the 19th, but have also been asked to go to Tasty @ Mass, so not too sure yet...

Look

I am not accusing WiLDCHiLD of putting on a rubbish night. As James, I have also enjoyed myself everytime I have been out. I did not attend the last WiLDCHiLD but am sure i would have loved it as well. Just look out how much abuse Frantic events take yet I am sure to enjoy myself at these as well.

I don't want this to drag too much either and think @Guyster is trying his best to come up with a reason for the actions taken.

I do however feel let down by WiLDCHiLD's policy of pulling the review because it did not agree with them. Tanya was asked to do the review on the night, it was reviewed further by Tom and then put on the website, only to be later removed.

As a member to the HF site (Londons Leading Hard Dance Guide) I expect to see reviews of all sorts. That is the way the site started and don't see why it should change. Now that Tom is playing at a few of these events does put a different aspect on the role of the site. That from being independent to that of promoting events they are involved in.

There are many reviews about other nights there, some also not too positive. These other promoters see HF as giving fair reviews and any negative points are dealt with on the site. If these same promoters start seeing HF as pulling reviews they are involved in and leaving others they will start to loose faith in what is published.

Sorry @Guyster you are running around trying to sort this out. I am sure you'll sort things out. But maybe you don't need to keep responding to each persons post, though I understand you are trying to keep things calm, until such time as you feel WiLDCHiLD can issue an official statement.

I do believe the publicity you are getting out of all this can be turned to WiLDCHiLD's advantage if done smartly. That will be the challenge for the next event which I am sure we will all enjoy.
