1. No creating posts or threads specifically for flaming another person or for flaming/slamming bands. If you're going to say some band or some artist sucks, explain why. If you can intelligently explain why you hate a certain band, we will generally leave your post alone. This rule applies to replies about bands in threads. If you post "Van Halen sucks" in a Van Halen thread, your going to be temp. banned.

That do ya?

[JACKROXYOU]

wow munky nice job

[^Dream~Theater^]

Well all Griffin did when he posted was flame and say the bands suck *** and then leave without any explanation, That's very childish and immature especially from someone who's been here awhile. And again I ask, What's the point of having rules if people dont obey them? Griffin broke it 3 times.

[Riva]

Could a mod make the RATM thread Offical.

Usually Official Threads are only created when there is a clear need for one, due mostly to excessive threads about a band. If you are worried about people making more RATM threads, just link them to the established one. Most people will be nice enough to start posting back in the original, and a mod may even merge the two.

It's mainly because the users think that some of the mods are a bit too arrogant and/or too strict for the forum's good. I do see what they're saying, but we have to enforce the rules. If we let the forums go without rules, the whole site would be like the days of Rock & Metal without an active mod.

However, they are popular on the forums and suggest creating an official thread. It will spawn more talk about them.

nice try on your good samaritan role but the thing is that this is an english forum and its very annoying having people who wont speak the proper language

Why cant he just put what he types into a translator before he posts rather than 100 posters having to translate for he says. Its basic courtesy

[Riva]

Look, one of the mods, Jelle, speaks at least 5 languages, with Flemish being his first language. He speaks English for the sake of the rest of us who do not speak his language. It's obvious you can speak English, so if you want the 90% of the forums who do not speak a language similar to Spanish to understand your opinions etc, then post in English.

And, don't threaten people because they can't understand what you are saying. That is the calling card of a pretentious idiot.

EDIT: SI, I was talking to the spanish guy. No offense intended to you.

Alright guys, which Official threads do you think are necessary?

Time for some major work to be done. I've been reading a lot of complaints about some of the threads, and the thread in the Site forum will hopefully be the last. :)

[munky_magik]

I don't think we really need anymore. When new albums are released this year there'll be a lot of threads which you can close, but other than that the bands don't get enough threads about them to merit an official thread IMO.

[3074326]

I honestly wouldn't be opposed to getting rid of all Official threads for a week or so, just to see how things go.

I don't post in the Official Tool thread at all, but do enjoy reading Tool threads. Haven't read one of those for months.

I think we should just let the forum be a forum and let threads be made. If Metallica threads get out of hand, we'll let the Metallica thread be Official.

If a thread isn't doing its job, I don't think it should be a thread to which one is directed.

These are just my opinions, it doesn't mean that anything I just said will happen.

Im against any thread being labelled official, so clear them all out/rename the lot. Some threads though should remain open and bumpable, as they have some great discussion in them and a sense of community. Some will need to either be stickied during new album releases, or at least temporarily made official, but I do agree they need to go, and renamed without the 'Official' tag.

(just dont close the tool one, or on your life be it!)

[3074326]

We'll just wait for the other guys to say what they think, then we'll make some decisions.

Keep the suggestions coming though. :)

[munky_magik]

The official threads are like little communities of their own, so closing/abandoning them would probably upset a fair few people. It does divide the forum up however so I guess whaever action is taken will have its pro's and con's.

We wouldn't be getting rid of the threads, just not closing threads related to the bands.

[Riva]

So, people who make a Jet thread when one already exists get theirs closed, but people who make a Pink Floyd thread, (once the official one becomes de-officialised) don't get theirs closed simply because the Floyd one used to be official?

That is the summation of everyone's logic so far. I don't mean to be rude, but any new threads made about "official thread" bands will still be flamed for not searching, and will still be nominated for closing. Changing the title does nothing. I don't mind them being unofficial or official, but it will have a miniscule impact on the forum (a few less noobs will ask if HiM can get an official thread, etc).

[Bartender]

The Metallica thread really was actually needed (you know, back in the day), but after a few months it basically became a spam thread. Many of the official threads there are now, I don't even know where they came from. Like Black Sabbath, and Megadeth, and others; maybe I fell asleep for a few weeks or something, but when did we have problems with an influx of threads about them?

[Riva]

A lot of the threads: Megadeth, Black Sabbath and Opeth were made official simply because they weren't going anywhere.

does anyone know how to check rep points? i have no idea wat they are or anything
help please

[munky_magik]

to check your rep points go to your User Cp via the link at the top left of the screen and scroll to the bottom of the page.
rep points are reputation points. You get given positive rep for useful posts and negitive rep for idiotic posts. you give rep by clicking the little tick/cross box under someone's avatar.

[Bartender]

Ostensibly, they're supposed to single out good users. You can give out rep points (reputation points), positive or negative, to anyone by clicking the little box with the tick and X in it under their avatar.

You have the option of giving positive or negative rep, and of leaving a message which they can read. The amount you give out depends on how many you have yourself.

To check how many you have, go to your user CP (link on the forum toolbar in the top left of the page). Scroll to the bottom, past subscribed threads, and your total rep points and last five comments (if they left comments) should be there, if there are any.

I think that's all :)

EDIT: I knew someone would beat me to it. Hurrah for the extra post, anyway.

[munky_magik]

you can also only give out yay much rep in 24 hours, and you can't rep the same user twice in close succsession.

[linkotim]

ok cheers to both of u, but i dont have any rep anyway... maybe one day lol

So I decided to check my reps after finding out what they are from linkotim's enquiry.
Its ridiculous how you can be given negative reps by anybody at all and for absolutely no decent reason at all. So this means that people can be asses on here and hand out negative reps for the sake of it, AND do it anonymously. Or do it just because they dont agree with what you have to say, even if it is a valid point you're making. Would you call the rep system fair? I seriously hope having bad rep figures does not infringe on abilities and freedom that user's have on this forum.

Neg rep really does nothing all it does is keeps you from Impacting other peoples rep. And on top of all that the only people in R&M who neg rep at random don't have much rep to take away.

There won't be anymore official threads.
And official threads only get created when there are a large ammount of threads about one band on the forum at the same time. They're effectively just space savers. It doesn't matter how influtential/phsychadelic/morman the artist is, they don't get official threads dedicated to them for that reason.
