Report Problems/Ask Questions/Make Suggestions

[King_Of_Terrors]

I think there should be a thread about genres. A person would ask what genre a band is, and the threadstarter could edit it into the first post. I.E

Melodic Death Metal:

Kalmah
In Flames
Norther


Power Metal:

Sonata Arctica
Stratovarius
Blind Guardian


And everytime someone wanted to know what genre a band was, the threadstarter could edit it in to whatever genre they are.


The only problem is that alot of flaming would probably go on, arguing about genres.

[Nostalgia]

Yea to much arguing, and their are to many biased people to be able to have a serious discussion, then It just ends up getting closed. Their was different genres of metal thread a while ago though.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

There is one of those.

Man this forum is very shallow and unsatisfying. I hope you have fun when you antagonize somebody and have a flamewar. A flamewar is not the point of a forum, neither is pointing out that someone is stupid or trying to make them feel inferior. I hope all of you grow up someday and stop trying to convince people in a metal forum to open their minds. If we wanted to do something, why would we listen to some "ninja-pirate" anyways? Just becuase I have a low post-count doesn't mean jack. For the most part, you guys are all assholes so sayonara. I honestly don't care what you call me or say about me once I'm gone because I'm never visiting this site again. All I try and do is give my justification for why I think a certain way, which is not the way you think. Then I get ridiculed, name-called, and flamed for it. Am I right? On this entire site, I have not encountered a single thread that has not had something negative said towards another poster. Instead of ridiculing or name-calling you should inform people. I am moving on back to my home forum where they are not as closed minded to new posters and to people who are not as knowledgeable about rap as you guys supposedly are. They are actually nice and helpful, and totally devoid of flamewars.

Bottom Line: I feel bad for this forum becuase for the most part, the posters with higher counts feel superior to people who are new. That is stupid to have an "internet ego." I try and say what I think, and wham - I get ridiculed. I hope you all can try to find something to do with one less scapegoat to flame. Peace out you guys and good luck in this forum.

[3074326]

You just have to learn to not take anything that anyone says too seriously. Like you said, it's the internet.

I don't think a merge would work that well, because merging confuses people.

This is because I'm very annoyed by the people who post "This is illegal" in threads where the threadstarter has already been informed. For example:

n00b: Hay guyz! wut r ur fav songs?!?!?!

guy: This is illegal, read the rules.

other guy: This is illegal, read the rules.

The competition does not mean it in a derogatory term. "NURMOTM" (New User Rock and Metaler of the Month) just doesn't have that same acronymic ring as "NRMOTM" (n00b rock and metaler of the month) does.

As a general answer: more often then not, yes, postcount and joindate often dictate whether or not one is a new user or not. The glaring exceptions would be, for me, this account's inception in August 2004. New joindate? Yes. New user? Not exactly.

And I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had a previous account here.

Bartender was rather blunt about it the first time around. I'm not encouraging his bluntness again, but surely a post reminder would have suited the thread just fine.

[Riva]

It's a side-effect of being absorbed into the mod overmind.

[Jom]

Oh ok. I understood everything except for derogatory and acronymic :p

Thanks though.

Acronymic isn't a word, to my knowledge. I just made it up for kicks.

An acronym is an abbreviation, basically.

For example:

National Football League = NFL
National Basketball Association = NBA
National Hockey League = NFL
Super Extreme Xylophoners = SEX

The acronym takes the first letter of each word. See?

Derogatory is an adjective used to show a noun being defamed, insulted, disparaged, or spited against (does that make sense?).

For example, calling a homosexual (or anyone, for that matter) a "faggot" is derogatory (it's implied that it wasn't said in jest).
