What about this for an idea. Its something that could prove controversial though, but on the other hand may create conversation.

A panel where you can mark a band as"seen". You could also have a small comment after the band i.e. Great Sound etc.

It could work a few different ways. The first being you would simply make a band as seen and it adds onto your profile.

Stage 2 could be; you see a band and it adds to your community score, although it could be open to abuse. Or take it a even further and you mark a band as seen and its up to the band to 'approve' you as seeing them before you get your points.

This would then require NWB members introducing themselves to bands.

Would be nice to see who is who's fan and who is going to see who.

This is an idea Mr NWB is working on at the moment :-) Great minds think alike n all that! I think it'll be rolled out once the profiles have more stuff on them..

This feature is rolling out in a couple of days. Part of the new NWB

Like the idea about "approving" meets/greets to get some CRP points. Didnt think of that. Nice touch :-)

No wonder you get so many crp points!!!! You can't put everything in one comment can ya! :P

Crp points are great and anything that adds to them has to be a good thing like this comment

# Posted by mrs.nwb (TO BE!!) - 24/04/2008, 16:10 (GMT)

Yeah i agree, good way of getting them is to leave useless comments about how they work and how many ways there are of getting them (i'm so dead) another point for me here! lol

# Posted by The Fabulous Eggs - 24/04/2008, 16:11 (GMT)

Good point well made- I think I understand- I however would never do it- I see it as a total waste of time

# Posted by The Fabulous Eggs - 24/04/2008, 16:12 (GMT)

Another thing I haven't the time to leave unimportant comments either!!

# Posted by mrs.nwb (TO BE!!) - 24/04/2008, 16:14 (GMT)

No i can see that.. you're not one for leaving pointless comments are you.. you must be a busy man!

# Posted by The Fabulous Eggs - 24/04/2008, 16:16 (GMT)

Very busy- I am working at being very busy now!!

# Posted by Woody - 24/04/2008, 16:25 (GMT)

Pack it in you two *bangs heads together* I'm getting loads of emails keep popping up and I'm too busy to leave comments...

# Posted by The Fabulous Eggs - 24/04/2008, 16:26 (GMT)

Tee hee- sorry never thought of that woody - Sat here giggling!!!

# Posted by Woody - 24/04/2008, 16:36 (GMT)

Whats with this PINK comments thing anyway? Geeeeeeeessssss is it salmon or pink? Probably look BLUE to Mr. NWB *whisper*

# Posted by The Fabulous Eggs - 24/04/2008, 16:41 (GMT)

*whats this mean in these* and what colours ?? I see no colours!!

# Posted by Woody - 24/04/2008, 16:44 (GMT)

I believe the kids use ** to represent an expression, or non-verbal communication i.e. *slaps head* - you are only asking to get an extra point...I'm on to you Egg.

Can you not see the colours really? My comments are on pink and Mr. NWB's are on Green.

# Posted by mrs.nwb (TO BE!!) - 24/04/2008, 16:48 (GMT)

Funny you should say that - you never know now Woody has said it he may change it! ;) haha

He reckons it's red - hmm.. yeah.. well he is colourblind but it is so obviously pink!! Of course being a girl i don't mind it - you fellas just need to get in touch with your feminine side! :P

Me and P have green comments as we are special.. oops i mean 'administrators' lol

# Posted by mrs.nwb (TO BE!!) - 24/04/2008, 17:22 (GMT)

Haha oh yeah! Forgot about that!! I'll try and get him to change it to a more 'unisex' colour!

# Posted by The Fabulous Eggs - 24/04/2008, 22:40 (GMT)

# Posted by Woody - 25/04/2008, 08:58 (GMT)

*cups balls* in agreement.

# Posted by The Fabulous Eggs - 25/04/2008, 11:56 (GMT)

How about something for venues as well?? I.e Size of stage, is the place rough, con merchant.. Basically positive or negative feedback..

Just a thought!

# Posted by Phoenix - 25/04/2008, 15:23 (GMT)

I like the sound of that. It wouldn't have been as much of a shock to us when we turned up at the Wheatsheaf last week to find the band area is now only half the space it used to be. Forewarned is forearmed! And, yes, we've had one or two experiences where the landlord has suffered from a bout of amnesia when it came to the fee. Names will be given out if it happens again!

# Posted by Woody - 25/04/2008, 15:29 (GMT)

Some good suggestins I reckon.

Following on from my original suggestion, the points would have been divvied out last night at the Whatever Gig. I was there along with Mrs NWB, Matt and of course the Griggermeister.

# Posted by mr.nwb - 25/04/2008, 15:32 (GMT)

I've tried on numerous occasion to try and get the venues to pump some information about the stage areas. But as you probably have realised most are pretty lax in keeping the bands informed.

I'll take you idea on board, and give "bands" access to write on venue profiles regarding stage areas/plugs/sockets/lights e.t.c

# Posted by mr.nwb - 25/04/2008, 15:33 (GMT)

Oh yeah, keeping the "blog on track". The "ive seen um" feature will be rolled out later tonight. Should be fun!
