You only like the music because Clear Channel and the major labels fooled you into thinking you were a part of something special, some "underground" feel-good movement that was really driven by corporate politics and mainstream airplay.

To be quite serious:

I hardly ever spam; I don't post half the worthless garbage that so many of the users on here post. At least I try to engage in discussion that's on topic, whether any of you agree with what my opinions are or not.

It is the natural instinct of any person to defend themselves when attacked; I don't go around being hostile to people unprovoked (unlike other poeple on here I know) and you all know it.

I on the other hand, will complain about my ban. I have not technically done anything ban-worthy. I haven't violated any rules; I've simply been banned because somebody bitched enough about me to make the mods tired of it.

Others have accomplished much more and not been banned; I'm quite surprised to the the rampant favoritism here. And by the way, the point of (most) threads is to incite serious discussion; when I start one with honest intent, I don't plan to have a mockery made of it, nor do I plan on getting banned for making a single post chastising those who did so and thanking those who were serious.


And to those pointing at me as the catalyst of such activity, you yourselves make a point of being hostile, spamming, etc. simply because you don't agree with something I said. You all want to blather at me about ignoring others when they attack me? How about you all learn to ignore me when I simply say something you don't agree with, instead of instigating hostility and then bitching about it.

In all seriousness and honesty, I think you should just leave. I'm not trying to get in on this, but it seems to cause more harm than good for you.

[Riva]

Phoenix Matt:

This is a forum. Ever since Romulus said, "Bestiality's great, mate" and sucked a wolf's tit, people have used forums to discuss and argue conflicting opinions. In addition, since this is the internet, people feel that anonymity gives them the right to act like a horse's arse. We might not like it, but the easiest way to survive on this forum is to have a thick-skin.

You can't expect people to ignore your posts if they disagree with what you say. What you can do is ignore them. I know you might feel hard done by, but trust me on this subject. Unless you can apply a smackdown like Steerpike, it's often a lot easier to just let an insult or retort slide.

I banned you because you made posts in the Problems thread not at all relating to problems. However, there have also been times that I didn't ban you in the past because I was trying to be more lenient. And believe me, some of your posts were pretty hard to swallow. So if there has been any favouritism, it has certainly applied to you as well.

That being said, I have been talking to people, and asking them to lay off you. I would also like you to lay off them. Otherwise, this petty squabbling could derail the whole forum.

Punchgore Matt:

You went through the same phase a few years back, but you managed to overcome it, and actually become an accepted member of the forum. If you would just cut down on the spam and random insults, I would have no problem.

[Invicta_Veritas]

Riva: I understand; people on here are simply really frustrating because half the time they do things for no apparent reason other than they're bored. I'll try to chill out though.

MBS: Yea, Riva posted before I was done...

[TTEOVD]

So, in essence, what you're saying is that I fail because I refuse to just blindly agree with everyone here on everything, ignored pics of me being posted, ignore people mocking my threads when I'm trying to get an honest answer, etc.?
my pic was posted in the hardcore forum and i got ridiculed there for having a side part and wearing a jfac hoodie, did I throw a hissy fit?

and where do you see me blindly agreeing with everybody? a lot of people go on and on about how much all those "-core" bands I listen to suck, but OMG I started a deathcore thread rather than polluting (in referenced posters, we all know who they are) the death metal thread.

When someone is a dick to you, do you not respond? You do; just like everyone else does, you get defensive. Or, in your case, you just start posting mindless spam. How is that any better than me? It's not.
My defense mechanism is avoiding the topic I guess. Regardless, that causes a hell of a lot less drama.

Simply because you guys tend to create drama out of nothing and I happen to the subject does not mean that I am out to cause it, nor do I delight in taking part in said uselessness.
Yes, you never, ever, post something like this:
Bloodlined Calligraphy is good, wtf you large bundle of sticks omfg I can't believe you said you don't like this incredibly generic AND OBJECTIVELY BAD band I like.

You've been posting here long enough to know what kids here will and won't make fun of, and the fact that your 22, haven't caught on, and still listen to **** like Kitty proves to me that you're an idiot.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

All I can say is go to some website like 4chan and toughen up a bit to the flak people give each other on the internet and stop being so naive to the topic of people being general jerks to people that that act like general angry retards like yourself.

People who easily get pissed off are the easiest to prey on in the internet world. You fall into that catagory, and that is only your fault.

First paragraph is the abstract.


Valhall’s Impact on R&M (For Better or For Worse)

For nearly four years, Valhall has been a poster of both positive and negative influence on the forums, like most. From an incredibly negative beginning as atreyu_breakingbenjamin, with absolutely horrible taste and an incredibly argumentative nature, Valhall has, over time, allowed positive conversation with others to influence both his musical taste and even his own music, while still maintaining individuality in spite of continued conflict surrounding his personal style and choices. This essay will attempt to dissect the man and musician behind this controversial character, and to prove that he indeed would be benefited from the reception of a larger avatar of his choosing.

Atreyu_breakingbenjamin was an incredibly naive 18 year old from Gillette, Wyoming, U.S.A when mxtabs led him to the grand discovery of what is now the sputnik music.com forums. Remarkably, as a player of multiple instruments and as a lyricist, he was not drawn to the instrumental forums; rather, he was immediately attracted the rock and metal discussion. However, in spite of honest naivety, his immature conceitedness and rash nature immediately led to conflict. This was exacerbated by his inexperience on forums (and internet in general), coupled with severe drug use and conflict in his personal life. While colourful at times, he was largely ignored and even hated by many. This led to his eventual 9 month hiatus. During which a great many things in his personal life changed. The birth of a son and the forced quitting of drug and alcohol abuse, coupled with a marriage forced an absence which many welcomed, but after a time, some missed.

Returning after several months and with a name change to Behemoth_Rules_All, he reflected a greatly changed taste in music as well as a newfound communicative maturity gained from his recent personal battles. An active contributor to R&M’s daily upload as well as the monthly songwriting competition, his return was welcomed by many. He also became rather serious in his musical endeavours, prompting him to ask for, receive, and discuss needed advice. Through a move in the summer of 2007 to attend school in Arizona, however, things began to change for the poster in R&M when select details of his personal life surfaced, regarding his marriage, children, dress style, and personal beliefs. Another username change and an attempt to explain himself were of no avail, and he became extremely confrontational over the most simple of subjects.

One final name change later, Valhall has become a longtime and established member of R&M. While his tendency to allow himself to be baited into conflict, especially regarding his personal life and his music, has leveled some user’s opinions of him, he has still shown to be a supportive member of the forum. He has recently become an acknowledged reviewer, known for his conciseness and brevity. Still, however, he must learn to not allow himself to be baited, and understand that facts of his personal life aren’t always going to be understood by many.

In conclusion, Valhall is an established member of the forums and makes a concerted effort to be a part of discussion. While not without flaws, the user has shown improvement through the years and will continue to be a contributing poster for years to come. That, in itself, deserves an avatar of his choosing.

Indeed. It should be noted spamming this thread is bannable too so I suggest not lengthening a very short ban everyone! :)

[Livin n a Cage in the USA]

How does discussing nominees in a nomination thread constitute spam?

This is a genuine question so please answer with a serious response.


EDIT: Also, I'm sorry but you mods need to get your act together. You can no longer continue to enforce rules just whenever you feel like it. I realize there was a rule about no spam in the RMOTY thread (although I still object to the accusation that my post was spam), but there was the exact same rule in the Top 2007 albums Nomination thread and that thread was rampant with spam (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=544698 -- See rule 7). Stop getting a heavy banfinger every once in a while and stop making up the rules as you go along. Either enforce a set of rules the same way every time or don't enforce those rules at all.

[Permanent Solution]

I do believe the thread defines spam as anything besides nominations and questions. That is neither of those things. =)

[Livin n a Cage in the USA]

So I get banned for staying on topic in a thread while the status quo of a thread here is to get completely derailed from the topic? Seems a little backwards to me.

[Permanent Solution]

I always enforce the spam rule in my rmotm/rmoty threads. I'm very lenient elsewhere but I've always held that one to higher standards because, and this thread was a perfect example, I shouldn't have to read 3 pages of conversations just to find 2 nominations or votes.

[Dave de Sylvia]

One way to avoid suffering from unequal application of the rules is not to break the pathetically simple rules =)

[Permanent Solution]

You've never run a competition thread before, but for the record it's quite annoying to weed through pages of uselessness to count votes for something you don't get paid to do but just do for fun.

In defense of the forum, the "status quo" you're citing is a result of the users, not us. If you want us (and by 'us,' I mean just me) to turn into [a bunch of] SFK[s] and be rigid, stringent, and pretty much assholes about every little thing in order to change the "status quo" as you deem apropos, that's perfectly fine with me because it takes all of two seconds to ban people and I don't mind banning alternate accounts.

However, in the interest of this particular forum, I've discovered that it's better to be a preventative moderator than one who drops a hammer at every instance seeing as how all of the troublemaking users have at least one back-up account at their disposals.

That's all from me.

I'm confused as to why the hell my alt was banned. It's not a huge deal to me, I'm just confused as hell.

Vince has a little bit of trouble distinguishing between posts that aren't nominations and actual spam.

Anyway:
Mappy's been here for around fourty years by internet reckoning (about 4 years IRLOL). And has since tried as much as he could to improve his posting, sort of. Regardless, Mappy likes changing his avatar and would like to ask the mods for their support. It is, with reason, in Mappy's belief that he is deserving of one of the large variety.

Mappy generally posts on topic in threads that are on topic, though he may have knack to post for the lulz. Fortunately for Mappy, many other posters who share the privilege of a larger avatar also post for the lulz, and some more oftenly! Surely this is reason enough to provide Mappy with a larger avatar.

On top of this, Mappy is absolutely obsessed with Skycamefalling, this is his third avatar request related to the band. Surely the mods could not deny his multi-man crush. Therefore, Mappy asks thee, most wonderful of internet moderating staffs, to provide him with this cherished live photograph as his avatar:

Your argument is contradictory. The stuff we got banned for (ie, discussing nominations in a nominations thread) is rigid sort of SFK bullshit that isn't hurting anybody. Vince just decides to waltz in whenever he pleases when there is spam all over the forum that is completely ignored. I don't have a problem with that, but these mass-bannings for stupid bullshit accomplish nothing.

Perhaps that might be slightly more consistent, in my opinion. Granted, people would bitch, but they would know exactly where the line is. However, the point remains that discussing problems/suggestions in a thread such as this or discussing nomination-related things in a nomination thread is not spam.

I think it would be a waste of time and forum space, for example, to create a thread for nomination lists only, and then have to create another thread to allow discussion of it.

And Vince, I have run threads before with massive amounts of information I had to find and add to a list (bands/myspace/facebook threads), and it's not that difficult to pick through a few posts that are in discussion of the topic itself. It's not that much of a pain, it's not spam, and it certainly takes just as much, if not less time than banning 8 different users for relatively harmless postage.

5. This thread is for nominations or questions only please. Spam=ban...there's a community thread.

Jom, I took heed and deleted the post I made in here right before you banned my account. Why am I banned?

[Jom]

Because you didn't delete it, I did. There's no excuse for what you posted in the first place -- it's been clear by now that anything that isn't reporting a problem, asking a question, or making a suggestion related to R&M doesn't belong here, period.

[Invicta_Veritas]

I was in the process of editing/deleting it, christ. Just because you accomplished the task before I did doesn't warrant a ban.

EDIT: No, I deleted it. Then I went to post in the bm thread and when i pushed submit, it told me I was banned.

[Jom]

... but you shouldn't have posted it in the first place. This is not the black metal thread, or the community thread, or any other thread where you can somewhat get away with statements like that. You chose unwisely.

[Invicta_Veritas]

..as do plenty of other people who don't get banned. There's the inconsistency we're talking about.

No constant posts or threads promoting racism, sexism, etc. These will not be tolerated.

Don’t continue personal arguments across the forum. This is not needed and will be dealt with harshly. Take it to AIM/MSN/YIM, etc. if you feel the need.

Everyone's guilty. Ban everybody.




Technically, half the users in every thread should be banned if you want to play that game, including myself. So don't get all righteous with me. At least I made amends here. Others don't.

[Jom]

What inconsistency? This thread is not on the same level as other threads. That's not what we have in mind and that's not how we enforce it. If we adopted a zero-tolerance policy in every thread, I would be getting rid of a slew of threads here and banning a whole lot of users... but that stuff stays out of this thread. Anybody who can view the number of deleted posts can tell you that this thread has been significantly more clean and free of user BS. Don't babble pointlessly about what other users in other threads should be doing, because those threads are exactly that: other threads... not this one.

It's a one-day ban for a dumb**** post. Don't do it again, simple as.

[NemesisDivina]

I'm just wondering...

answering questions from other posters is acceptable, right? I'm not sure if I should leave it to the mods.

[Jom]

Of course it is, dude. It helps us out for the most part (unless your answers are wrong or you get people sidetracked for whatever reason) but if people want an answer from a mod they can wait for one, provided they specify that they want one from a mod.

[NemesisDivina]

Thanks Jom.

Also, I just wanna say how great of a mod you are. You're always helpful without being condescending and you can easily relate to how the normal posters are feeling and you seem more like part of the community than some sort of power hungry dictating mod.

Thank You!

[Jom]

You have to write an essay explaining why you feel you deserve one. Preface it with an abstract (a summary paragraph that talks about what you're going to talk about), and cite your sources (e.g. links to threads, posts, etc., that will help bolster your argument). There really is no length, but being concise is good - keep in mind that you have to persuade your audience. As long as you have an abstract, relatively convincing essay, sources, and so on, you should be pretty crystal.

Also, BRA, I still don't understand why you're being a bitch still with your snarky rep message. Why don't you get a new piercing, call it Jom, stick it sideways through your urethra, and man up about being a jabroni?

[C.O.A.]

So the essay has to be about why I deserve a bigger avatar?

edit: okay

:lol: @ bra comment.

[Invicta_Veritas]

Jom, I rep'd you at around the same time I posted my final response. I've dropped the issue, you can do the same. If you want to continue it and lower yourself to insulting me, I'll be more than happy to oblige...I don't give a **** if you're a mod or not. Choose.

You should, not me. I know you've got the whole necromancer thing going on and everything but you lose every argument to the point that there are announcements made about you to stop being a tool. Seeing as how you don't acknowledge them, there isn't anything I can do to make the Internet world a darker, more cold place for you.

You chose unwisely in posting here - that's it, that's all.

[C.O.A.]

C.O.A. (Joey) has been a member of the sputnikmusic.com community since December 2004. He was exposed to the forums through mxtabs.net (RIP) and decided to register. Though he registered in 2004, he did not really start posting as an active member until roughly mid 2005. He started out in the Guitar Forum and eventually checked out Rock and Metal. Wow. Joey was very surprised to see how many threads of interest were in this section of the forum. From this day on, Joey would come to call R&M his home on the forums.

Joey was registered to the forums for quite some time before becoming even remotely active. As a lurker, Joey attempted to understand the ways of the Guitar Forum before creating any topics or replying with serious purpose. Eventually, he grew some balls and decided to post a topic regarding his musical creations to get some opinions/ feedback from his highly respected guitar forum brothers(http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=405366). After much praise and feedback, Joey's posting became a bit more consistent in the guitar forum and he became a regular member. After a brief hiatus, Joey decided to check out the rest of the forum. That's when he found Rock and Metal.

As he browsed around the R&M forum, Joey noticed a thread entitled "any other death heads?". Curiously, he entered and read from the first page up until the latest. Eager to discuss his favorite bands, Joey replied to posts from many members he had never heard of. He was caught off guard by some of the member's replies as they were sometimes very mean and condescending in nature. After a while Joey ran into a very "interesting" poster who went by "Dargon". Needless to say, Joey realized that he needed to learn how to ignore certain users as they can be very offensive and hurtful if taken seriously. It took Joey a while to grasp that concept and he had some bad encounters with certain users.

Once Joey got banned (Riva), he had an epiphany, if you will. He realized that he had been posting rather immaturely in the R&M threads and that it needed to stop. So after slowly "growing up" on the boards, Joey has come to respect his fellow R&Mers and tries his hardest to be a nice and helpful guy. Since his"epiphany" Joey has been exposed to many new bands. Some bands include Evil Incarnate, Dismember, Entombed, and Nihilist. Joey has been rather active in the Sludge/ Post-Metal thread as well. Since his participation in this thread, he has been obsessed with Isis, Pelican, Jesu, Empires, and loads of other artists. He has also tried to expose other users to new music as well. Some bands that he has brought up include Empires, Russian Circles, and Deceased.

Overall, Joey has come to love the R&M community with all of his heart. He hopes to discover and share new music every time he logs on to forums and he will continue to post as maturely and on topic as possible.

Well, I'm a case apart, I'm sorry Mappy.

But by this forums standards (that is, R&M) it's not a good thing to spam because there's postcount involved.

I suck at moderating because I mod the pit, and it has damaged me in several ways, I'm sorry.

So, bottomline is, Eliminator has to suffer the consequences of posting his name in a lot of threads with a lot of accounts.

So yeah. Mods.

EDIT: Actually, mods are fags.

[i am the robots]

Well true Tojes, but Trev and I do it too. :/

[guitrguy]

The difference being that you contribute something. I've seen you both talk about music regularly. Its rare for elim to have a serious sentence.

[TojesDolan]

He has serious sentences in Alt and Indie. He has serious sentences here in the Black Metal and Death Metal (occasionally... very occasionally :() threads.

I don't know, it's some mod bias don't harass me :|

I've done my best give him a benefit of the doubt (not that what I think really matters), but in RM I just don't see what he brings that we can't live with out.

[Niflheim II]

lulz periodically

[TojesDolan]

wait vince, I know spam is like "OMG OH NOES BREAKS THE RULES OF THE INTERNET", but one year for it?

:/

I mean, c'mon man, it's not like he hacked a mod account and posted pictures of old ladies being penetrated in the anus by giant japanese squids, it's just spam. I'll lower it to a month.

EDIT: BECAUSE SPAM ISN'T A ONE YEAR BAN OFFENSE, DUDE.

[Permanent Solution]

It started at a month, jumped to 6 after he continued on the next account, and then to a year on the one after.

[guitrguy]

Whats the point of reducing a ban when he obviously makes no effort to change?

[Permanent Solution]

The ban length will not be changed except by me, if I am convinced Elim has decided to shape up his posting a bit.

[i am the robots]

or this'll just be another tronn situation: ie poster brings the lulz and you take the internet too seriously. :x

and then, HOLY ****! rinse-wash-repeat-what?

sorry vince, i like you dude, but i don't agree with your moderation.

Tronn loved me and I maybe banned him once, so...no.

God forbid we try keep some sort order in here. GD is there for elim to post his name all he wants. Thats not what R&M is for. You guys can go frolic on the chans with that stuff, but a lot of users here are sick of seeing that.

Exactly, and I too have been trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and ignoring him. Nut in all honesty Elim knows what he does gets him banned so I don't see why we should be having this be an issue if Elim is essentially walking right into a ban on purpose.

better yet provide some evidence of his contributions to R&M, and I'll re-address that point for a third time.

[Anglachel]

Idk I would have left him alone.

Theres something to ignoring posts. You can only ignore provocative posts for so long before your patience runs thin (i.e. Jaylink), but when a post doesn't derail threads or change the topic for the worse or are insulting etc., its really not hard to ignore. His posts like that don't contribute, sure, but for a problem to start over it is kinda ridiculous.

If he had a 20 post combo of just his name I'd get it though so idk

Just pointing out that I pretty much spam most of the time. If you ban Elim, why not ban me and all the others who like to have fun? Banning someone because they annoy you is pretty stupid. Like Matt said, I like you Vince, but your modding is a joke.

[guitrguy]

There is difference between what you guys post, and the incessant posting of a user name, mocking users, and posting utterly inane **** that elims seem to thrive on. I've never seen him help a user that doesn't pander to him, as stated before I've only seen him mock new users on their taste in music, or just pure copy and paste. I've seen you post on topic in threads more often than I say you post mindless and distasteful spam.


Yes we all spam, but he takes it to level that is disruptive and not humorous. GD disabled post counts so you can vent you urges there, and so we can talk about music with out worrying about a page full "Eliminator" posts.

Vince is merely trying to keep some order here, and its not as if Elim does know better. He chooses to post in RM likes its GD. As such, he chose the ban.

[i am the robots]

don't get pissy. elim earned it.


better yet provide some evidence of his contributions to R&M, and I'll re-address that point for a third time.

I posted under TTEOVD directly after my main, my main got a week ban. Elim did the same thing, he got a year. Yeah bro, reasonable.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I dunno what you guys are arguing about. Elim gets far more leeway than any other user on this site, barring the hackers. If anything, bitch about the unfairness of that. Funnily enough, he's the only one who doesn't particularly care about being banned.

[guitrguy]

I posted under TTEOVD directly after my main, my main got a week ban. Elim did the same thing, he got a year. Yeah bro, reasonable.

yet what you did under TTEOVD is not what you're normal style is. On top of that Vince originally gave him a short ban. He came in with his alts and spammed to spite him. he very much deserves the one year ban.

Vince is and the other mods are very lenient with us, but unfortunately if they give you guys an inch you guys take two. You flop you're "its the internet" rebuttal , but that means nothing. This a is forum in which music discussion is the focus, and as such we are a society. Societies have boundaries to keep thing in some sort of order. The bans are the only means the mods have to keep RM from turning into a version of GD.

[Permanent Solution]

I posted under TTEOVD directly after my main, my main got a week ban. Elim did the same thing, he got a year. Yeah bro, reasonable.
Oh, you spammed your name for 2 posts, were told to stop, spammed it twice more, were banned, used another account to do the same thing, were banned for longer, and then did the same thing on a third account and were banned longer?

No I don't recall that happening at all.
Just pointing out that I pretty much spam most of the time. If you ban Elim, why not ban me and all the others who like to have fun? Banning someone because they annoy you is pretty stupid. Like Matt said, I like you Vince, but your modding is a joke.

I always warn you bastards that he's a poltergeist, but none of you believe me until he makes an appearance. He runs the show just as we do, but he does it in his usual under-appreciated manner.
I believe you now, heh

hi im a mod

what can I do for you

[pate]

Dude how have you NOT seen that? Wtf, you've been here since 2003.

I've linked directly to R&M for the last 4+ years. I remembered seeing it but didn't know where it was.

[Deth]

I do that as well. I'm only ever on the main page long enough to occasionally click on General Discussion, but then regret it shortly thereafter.

Request for a new avatar

Why should repcak, who is also known as kacper or by some other users even by the synonym Ghost, get a new avatar?

Well this is a good questions, and the reasons are good too... lets listen to his story (and his long mx history)!

2004:
Repcak registered himself on 29.5.2004 - a long time ago. Back to the year 2004 he just started to play guitar and searched for tabs, so he discovered mx-tabs.net. After some time he registered himself as a user and started to ask stupid and naive questions about Black Sabbath, guitars, equipment and of course his guitar idol: Alexi Laiho.

2004 - 2005:
In the Beginning he couldn't believe that he reached 64posts and after reaching some 36x he thought he is already elite... He hadn't taken posting seriously, after he moved to vienna and got unlimited internet. This were the days when he was sitting in front of the computer till 3am and talked about music with other mx'ers. This was also the time, when he started to post more (but without crossing the line of spamming - well he done it, but he was always aware of the fact, that its not allowed). Back in the year 2005 he met a lot of nice ppl. The best example is Kage, who was his mentor in every relation considering Nine Inch Nails. This was his main reason why he wrote even a Featured Artist Article about Nine Inch Nails back in the year 2005:

2006:
Ghost kept on posting in other threads, mainly in the old-CoB thread and he is aware why it had been closed. Ghost always tried to be objective and to be political correct. He always went to the mods whenever something was wrong (for him), like the long endless debate about avatars who contained a swastika. Maybe this was the main reason why Test (in the end) left the Sputnikcommunity forever.

2007:
The last year was pretty calm; as always Kacper posted a lot and got to know to a lot of others and also new users. He started to post more often in the Community Thread, which got his second home. In the End of the Year 2007 he took over the Accent Competition who was started by Riva:

and because it was a succes he started the "Last Christmas"- Comp short before Christmas:
http://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=544317
Kacper also participated as a Secret Satan in the year 2007.

Kacper, who's home is in vienna, is always a nice user, but if there is a person he doesn't like, he says it - but whenever he realized that he misjudged a person, he is sorry for that! f.e: this happened the last time to Hax, a friend of Mappy who is a nice guy.
Kacper tries to reach his 10,000 post at his 4th Anniversary of MX, but he always tries not to cross the line of spamming. He is a nice person, who likes to talk about everyones life and music and the weather of course.

If you don't believe that he is like that, you can ask the following users:
- the2stranger
- guitrguy
- Kage
- Riva
- Superpeer
- NemesisDivina
- i am robots

Kacper hopes that the God-Mods are with him and they will allow him to get this avatar: http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0403759/repcak_avatar.jpg

I think Bartender just doesn't post in R&M anymore.


Shame really, Bartender was a great poster and knew so many cool bands. :(

I'll give you as many big avatars if you want if you never mention BRA on this forum ever again. Seriously, it's one of the few things that would actually make clicking the mod CP link worthwhile.

It's really just happening because the jokes write themselves and he never stops being an idiot.
