I would just keep an eye on him. He was .:thrashman:. or something like that. And all he did was post one word posts and typed with horrible grammar. Out of no where in the Slayer the thread he posts his email. Though I think it was for the Thrash Mailing List when I announced that Slayer's Reign In Blood would be on it.

Looking at Dargon's thread, I thought that the community in this thread was bad, but it seems that Rock & Metal is a cess-pit for uptight left-wing large bundle of stickss, especially Jom and Bobo, over-tolerant hippy ****s that are trapped inside that childish phase where they believe that opinions are worth anything.

Just because the threads that promote no discussion, get closed doesn't mean every thing is against the rules. The reason the forums are so tight is because it the INTERNET if it was real life we could beat you up everytime you made a bad thread, but we can't so thats why we have to ban people and close threads that is why the forum are really tight, if you don't like it, join another forums.

Those rules eliminate the threads that start the very flame wars that you complain about. If we allowed the threads that are illegal in the rules, the forum would turn into its old state - terrible. It's at a very good point. The community is great, there are very few massive flame wars anymore, and there is a lot of quality discussion going around.

The point of this forum is to discuss music with some form of intelligence, not to argue that Zakk Wylde can crush Bruce Dickenson with his voice, or that Tool is better than A Perfect Circle because A Perfect Circle "sux dik." We don't like those discussions, so we make them illegal. Those are where those threads end every time. I've been here long enough to tell you this with some credibility.

See where I'm going?

Yeah. I'm not opposed to the idea. If you can give us a few examples of how useful it could be I'd be more favorable though.

A post of only "NP: Pink Floyd - Signs of Life" is spam. Threads like the pink floyd thread dont need to be pointlessly bumped, they survive just fine on their own.

What does it mean when a thread is stickied ?

[Daven]

It means that a thread is at the top of the page and it doesnt needs to be bumped because its stickied at the top. The thread will remain there until a mod un-stickies it, that's when people needs to bump it to keep it alive. Threads are stickied because people dont post on them very often so they wont fall to page 2 or three. Or because the thread is too important to be unstickied, like the rules thread.

Oh ok. How can you get repped though ?

Being helpful and constructive around the forums, being respectful in correspondence, being approachable. Those are really the big three/four.

Certainly, there are other ways one can achieve rep, but they're (for the most part) frowned upon. This includes whining to mods or whoring for rep points.

Keep in mind that one can be negatively repped as well. It's the same as positive rep, just with negative repercussions (derrhrrhrr).

And what happens when you press the report bad post?

Nothing, as it's disabled.

[TojesDolan]

Yeah, so... when I finished my lit test, I had an idea of how to make the Vs. Threads work, you know, to avoid other garbage and such.

1. Bands for "Vs" are voted in a special thread (say, the one that's already on...), and every week/2 weeks/month, the "Vs" thread is closed and changed for the new one, for diversity sakes.
2. Annoying users and unconstructive posts are bannable offences, sure, so it should be clarified in the first post, or something.
3. I was thinking about "team formations" or team leaders, but considering this is an open forum, that'd be useless, as everyone are allowed to talk about whatever they wish.
4. I was also thinking of leaving the "Vs" voting thread on, so that it moves fluidly, and give each "Vs" a determined time. When the time is up, the thread is closed, and the new one comes.

It may work... Or it could be in a tournament manner... but that'd be much, much more trouble. :-/

It depends on the way you want to send it, you can choose "attach a file" and then you choose the song you want to send and then wait until it finishes uploadingand then send it.

Or you can send it using YSI, which IMO is easier and faster.

Browse for the file and hit "Send it!"

Adding an e-mail is optional, since you will get a confirmation link after the file is stored on the server. It is ideal, though, that you just get a hold of the person whom you wish to send a file's e-mail address.

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.

16. Do not post in spam threads/threads that violate the rules; the thread starter will be banned along with the posters.
