Needless trolling in the Beatles thread...99% of his posts come from two threads (two Final Fantasy threads in Video Games and Movies) and is rarely ever in R+M, and came into the Beatles thread just to say that. It would be appreciated if a mod (but not SonorKen, because he's gay and no one likes him :p just kidding) would put him in his place.

Why did all the official threads get renamed 'the rock and metal thread'?

[G_Mac07]

Quick question. With all the Official tags being removed, is it still against the rules to have two threads on one band? or to have a thread asking for recommendations? Just wondering if we should still report things the same way as when all the Official stuff was still around.

It's always been illegal to make a thread when a larger one was still around. So just keep linking them to the bigger one, etc.

Why did all the official threads get renamed 'the rock and metal thread'?

The mods decided for a less flashy title for the threads, to reduce people wanting this or that thread to be official.

[the2stranger]

I really don't see the problem in the flashy ***Official*** threads.
I think almost every thread that should ever be made official was official.
and it's not like the forum is overfloated with people asking for threads to become official.

but I don't think we're getting the old titles back I suggest:

bold titles

CAPITAZLIZED titles

all official threads stickied ( but this would mean a complete make over of the layout of the site, by creating more threads on one mainpage)

a subforum as politics and sports and videogames at the top of the R&M section.
-------
anyways, the threads most be easily recongnizable(sp?)
cause badly recognizable '' official'' threads will not be seen by a lot of (newer) posters, and thus resulting in loads of: I didn't see a thread on " ...... " , so I've decided to make one

The mods just didn't like the look of the ***OFFICIAL*** and it spurred alot of new users to create their own official threads.

Formatting, such as bold and italics, doesn't work in thread titles.

We'll never ever have enough space to get all of the official threads stickied.

No subforums should be added to R&M, it doesn't need to be segregated anymore.

[Shazzam]

I think there should be a 'Classic Rock' and 'Metal' Subforums, but that's just me.

And can you please change the name of the Pink Floyd thread, because everyones posting millions of suggestions in the thread about what they want to change it too.

[lightningmetal666]

Me and some of the guys in the Metallica thread were talking about doing online bands and stuff. Is there a way we can get a thread for that. I wanted to ask before I posted anything.

How I was thinking of doing this is, using audacity and a mic, we record our original song ideas and then upload them to the other band members. The other band members
implement that (riff/motiff/ etc.) into audacity and record their stuff over it.

Maybe we could break up the bands by style of music. Thrash has it's own thing, Death and Black metal have theirs, etc.

Opinions?

I believe this has been done - Official Cover Competition Thread or something - :s

[munky_magik]

Yeah, a competition was created which planned to pit the covers done by regulars of official threads against each other but it didn't really get anywhere due to a lack of activity on behalf of most parties.

I guess that just a R&M forum band could be done, possibly.

It seems we have some problems with inactive moderators. DBJ and I worked up this policy and it will ultimately help out the forum tremendously.

If a moderator does not log into MX for a solid month, and their absence is noted in the forum they moderate by user complaints and extra workload placed on other mods, that mod will be sent an email.

After this email is sent then the mod in question will have 2 weeks to reply to the situation and remedy it. If the mod does not reply after the 2 week period then they can be replaced.

There are exceptions to this. If a moderator KNOWINGLY is going to be gone, like SuperPeers computer problem or Bartenders month long holiday, then this policy would not apply to them.

Also, if the moderator is replaced, and becomes active again, they would be eligible for the next available moderator posistion providing they are still behaving like a moderator.

For R&M...the only user I saw that I think deserves them that has no stars is Dancin' Man. He writes up good threads and is really helpful. I'm not too caught up with the newest regulars here though because of my absence.

I rep people who are most helpful in my thread since it helped me out while I was at home. I still do, but it's a lot less frequent because I don't want people thinking they get rep from me just because they upload a song. I have some criteria for repping, anyway, so it doesn't look commonplace.

All of the above, and in addition just setting a good example, helping the mods out, contributing to the community. The problem with a lot of ysi helpers is I rarely see them anywhere else in the forum, and good users contribute all over, not just in one thread. It' be like being the most knowledgeable person in the Tool thread. Sure you help there, but that doesn't make you a good user in all of R&M...

Would anyone have a problem if I posted a biography/article (my own writing if there is any confusion) on John Bonham in R&M? I was concerned for two reasons:
-I didn't want to do an article on Led Zeppelin because they have been covered in Med's FA and almost everyone is familiar with them.
-Which led me to focusing mostly on Bonham and his drumming over his career, which could go into D&P I suppose since R&M isn't concetrated on just one instrument.

I'm sort of torn about whether I should post it. Since it's about drumming it doesn't seem like something worthy of R&M, but since he is a rock drummer and a rock legend in some senses and that is mainly what I discuss, it could warrant being posted here.

You'll have to ask Med about that. I believe there's a large backlogue of Featured Artists, however, so your best bet may be to just make a thread on your own though obviously without the Featured Artist title. Plenty of people have their own series going now.

How about if there was a sub-forum in R&M where people are able to post their own threads regarding these new INFO posts.

I just thought of this cuz recently everyone figures themselves a poet and made a series. I think that its getting rather clutered in R&M. Maybe we could make one for all the Official Threads?

This would make for a time-saving affair and also inlighten new users as to where these threads are so that they don't continue making new threads regarding Official status bands.

I think if SonorKen selected 10 users he thought were worthy of stars and put them into a poll, we could let MX users vote for their top 5. The users would be appropriate as SonorKen has chosen them. Also they have been selected by the people of MX.

Or we could of course just leave it as it is and let SonorKen select freely.
