Are not for saying how much you dislike the band. This has been happening all too often. Such posts will now be deleted.

Example:

*gets to deleting, but leaves killers news alone as example*

Taking the humor out of sputnik isn't funny.


..no pun intended.

Except that it isn't funny. And you're being annoying.

[Storm In A Teacup]

BTW, harsh bans will be given out by me if those who used to post in the pit try and transfer over to the news. ;)

[Kreator2112]

Talking about just music gets boring after like an hour and a half.

Humor helps people cope with life.

[Storm In A Teacup]

How about you just have that humor be in 'real' life and not on the 'internet life' then?

[mx]

We have plenty of humor in the right places

[Kreator2112]

Can I have a link?

Entropy is a part of life.

Kreator2112, please stop posting in this forum or I will have to ban.

I think the news will inevitably (ugg, spelling?) bring people who want to do nothing but bash the bands. I mean, over at UG I read the news every so often and it always either A) Turns into some political debate or B) is just people mindlessley bashing any band.

I mean, I can understand trying to contain it a little bit. But I don't think expecting people to act rationally is a realistic goal.

I am on U-G all the time and Sputnikmusic's news posters are nowhere, nowhere near as bad at all. I'd ban them all before I let Sputnik's news get like that s-hole of a place (not the whole site, just the comments of the people in the news there).

I know they arent anywhere near that level, I was just saying eliminating it completely is an un-realistic goal.


I remember I made an account on UG just to tell a bunch idiots to shut up about emo sucking, and I eventually got backed up by one of the mods. That leads me to think they might be understaffed there or something.

oh well, aslong as mx doesn't turn into that.

[Kreator2112]

I'm not why you guys are so concerned with the content of the posting. It's only the internet and only forums. It shouldn't effect your personal life.

[Storm In A Teacup]

It doesn't affect my personal life at all. I'm in charge of the news section along with Thor and neither of us want it to be complete drivel and full of incompetent morons.

Then you may want to pass your modship off to someone else.

[Cygnus Inter Anates]

Why not just do away with comments altogether and just have news?

[Storm In A Teacup]

Haha, you got me there, fair and square, Ben.

Shadows Fall sucks teh proverbial a.ss. Same with Cradle of Filth. :thumb:

[Jawaharal]

Why not just do away with comments altogether and just have news?
Agreed.

[Shadows]

Don't you like those bands?

[Storm In A Teacup]

Yeah, I was just kidding.

[mynameischan]

That's the best idea I've heard all day.

[Hep Kat]

That's actually a really good idea.

[Zebra]

It's hard to be serious while reading news articles that say "los lonely bos bassist arrested."

There would be one downside to taking away the comments. What if a news article is incorrect?

Hmmm...yes, they would be a problem.

[PrimalBreath]

Yes.

[Cygnus Inter Anates]

If a news article is incorrect, there should be a "report incorrect news" sort of link that brings the person to problems thread here.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Well, er, uh, hm, ah, duh, there's always the report problems thread. :rolleyes:

Personally, I want the comments to stay as it's just a place to be able to talk about the news. It's not like every comment you see is bad, or anything.

[Cygnus Inter Anates]

Well half of the retards on Sputnik don't really use the forums derrrrrr

[YDload]

Oh god please please tell me that my article is actual news! I have the feeling that I may have overemphasized the concert part instead of the newsworthy absence of a member at the concert. just dont hurt me im sorry :(

[Cygnus Inter Anates]

Give me a big avatar and I won't hurt you!

[Neoteric]

Give me a big avatar and I won't hurt you!
:lol: For once, you are actually funny.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Only to a 13 year old apparently.

[Skyler]

Yeah.

[Storm In A Teacup]

BUMP: Apparently a lot of you don't get it. Read the original first post in this thread.

[mynameischan]

yeah but without flaming comments, you guys would be pointless...............
