Regarding the comments on CBCH.
We opted for a "youtube" type model as opposed to a "moderator" type model. Obviously, there are pros and cons to each way of doing things but we have gone with the "youtube" model as having the best transparency.
Consider the quote below to be the official guidelines for posting on CBCH.
Contrebombarde Concert Hall's purpose is to be a collaborative, nurturing community for people of all skill levels who enjoy both classical and theatre pipe organs. Quality will vary, taste will vary, and genres will vary. Your job, as a member, is to take the skills you have and use it to edify the community.
You don't have to like all pieces. You don't have to be disingenuous with comments. However, I would suggest for every objectively critical comment you need to include at least 2 or 3 genuine compliments. If you cannot fill this ratio in good conscience, don't comment. Because, whatever you do write, is not going to enhance the community at all.
Lastly, criticism needs to be objective. Never attack someone's character or the character of a sample set producer.
More than anything now, the organ community needs champions who will build it up. Worldwide, the proliferation of the instrument is in crisis. The traditional Infighting and snobbery of the organist community are not helpful for expanding the pool of organists (or donors who fund the instruments). We need people like you (obviously not afraid to speak their minds) to be the ones to actively find ways to encourage others in positive ways; to nurture another, expanded generation of organists. I hope you will be one of those champions.
Sometimes people forget that they are posting on an open forum. They are not always cognizant that their own character, motives, agendas, biases, prejudices are also very transparent to everyone else when they post. It only takes a few posts to get an idea about the person posting.
So, if you are an encourager and a person interested in coaxing the best out of your peers and out of us manufacturers, you will be valued and listened to en masse.
If you are bitter, gossipy, clique-ish, divisive and otherwise looking to slight people, you will most likely be deleted, scorned and dismissed... And rightly so. Who wants to be around people like that?
We have given you the tools to encourage the behaviour you wish to see repeated (great performances, encouraging and helpful comments etc) and also the tools to minimize the impact of those with suspect motives.
CBCH gives you the opportunity to hear different sample sets and decide which ones you want to invest in. Use it that way so you don't get stuck with a set that sounds like it was recorded half-way down the nave.
Evil prevails when good people fail to act (I think the saying goes). So overwhelm the system with content you believe in and encourage others to do the same. The moderators only need to get involved to deal with bullies because it really is your community.
I did have to remove some comments about a month ago. They were over-the-top, abusive, personal attacks. There were some others removed by the recipient around the same time which were similar. There wasn't much redeeming social or musical value in those particular comments. So yes, I endorsed those actions.
Any subsequent deletions were at the discretion of the recipient.
What I continually love about Hauptwerk is the ability it has to re-form, re-define and re-invigorate a community and art-form. I hope it keeps inspiring you to make wonderful creations and spreading the word.
