For the Meds (Report Problems/Ask Questions/Whining = Ban)

Post problems here that the meds can solve (e.g. taking care of problem users/posts, fixing album tracklists/album art, removing advertising, etc.).

All major bugs, please report here:

Any private and confidential matters should be addressed via e-mail to yours truly.

Last but not least: whining/spam ITT = ban. Not that any of you need a reminder, of course, but the last meds thread teetered towards disrespectful vibes, and I won't tolerate that here at the family-friendly confines of Sputnikmusic.

[Channing]

disrespectful vibes?

Haha, of course not. I just wanted to make a new thread.

Odd.
Either it's the same guy, or it's two separate guys who bumped each others soundoff and decided to do a FOB soundoff on the same album at practically the same time.

Yeah, I noticed this, too. The only problem is that I can't confirm if it's the same guy or if they're friends because everything comes up inconclusive. I'll keep looking.

[Limework]

I don't want to sound like an egotistical douche, but is there any way my review could be flagged?
http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=15413

You don't have any pull to make requests like this.

I didn't think so. Just to clarify, flagging a review means it's the one that's automatically pulled up when someone clicks on the album, right?

[Limework]

Just curious, why would I get banned? The reason I got banned the first time is ppl were using the account to spam and other crap. Given they did it b/c I gave the password out, but that was part of my gigantic whiny douche phase when I got all upset. I've come to my senses, realized that was incredibly stupid, that Eliminator actually is funny and that his comic about me was gold, and I've realized how stupid being a tool is. I've re-rated all my albums to my liking instead of being a tool...that may not matter but w/e. So, one more chance, Jom?

One more chance for what, MediocreAtBest or Flatulence?

What is the minimum criteria to get a "SITE RANK" & (if it is not too complicated) how is it worked out...???

[Channing]

i dunno once you write a review or two then you get ranked honestly it means nothing anymore

loosely based on number of reviews + approval rating

my ranking has been going down since i got staff'd back when so whatever

[Iluvatar]

Is that part of the bugs with new profile though?

I mean if you didnt have a ranking before them, that it wont update.

I ask as I have only just started posting reviews (4 at present) & it is coming up blank next to 'Site Rank'. I just presumed that there was a minimum number of reviews (or ratings) to be done first.

Temporary bug - will be straightened out in due time. Thanks.

Thanks for checking it out. I realized later it wasn't just this one.

[rasputin]

Sorry if it's already been mentioned/you all know about it and are working on it already, but the personal profile numbers have been in a permanent freeze for a while. That's not so much the problem, the enquiry I have is with the pie-chart. It was fine until perhaps a few days/a week ago, but it's been frozen since then (I know this because I rated a large quantity of albums of genres not on my pie chart and deleted them after). Just wondering what's up with that and if it will be fixed soon (pie-chart is important to me).

[Electric City]

That's weird. My pie chart is keeping up to date with my ratings.

[rasputin]

That's weird. My pie chart is keeping up to date with my ratings.
Ok, I tried again (I rated 15 punk albums), and it did show up on my pie-chart. So either it wasn't working and is now, or I failed in realising it was working the whole time. Either way, cheers.

Can the album title be changed to "Born Into Trouble As The Sparks Fly Upward"? I'm pretty sure it'll fit, as the whole title for their next album shows up. If it doesn't, no big deal.

Nope, doesn't fit.

That's strange. How does "This is our punk rock, thee rusted satellites gather and sing" fit and not that?

This is Our Punk Rock, Thee Rusted Satellites Gather and Sing

if he continues to make such excellent tick references in his writing then i'm sure he'll be a wonderful addition to the site

please and thanks

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=15809

I would like to enquire about how albums are categorised into their genres. Is it automatic or does a staff member allocate the genre?

nah you go to the band page and you can change it, but it has to be approved.

users categorize them and mods confirm them

Hmm, okay, will look into it. Thanks Tyler.

Turns out that I don't even know what genre this band is anyway, haha.

Just a question, would it be OK to submit a review for Tokyo Police Club's new album Elephant Shell? It's not released physically until the 22nd, but because it leaked, it was released onto iTunes, and even their label Saddle Creek Records has now made it available to buy digitally for $9.00 on their site. I don't mind waiting, it's just I have a review already done.

[Dave de Sylvia]

If it's available to buy legally then it's go.

Nothing in particular, but Rocksta is almost certainly just randomly rating albums on the front page that he obviously has not heard.

double posting to say that it is getting ridiculous

I noticed too, but I don't really see how it isn't authentic. I know hes commenting and rating everything which is annoying, but apart from some stupid one word comments i don't see how his rating must be fake.
Plus he doesn't seem to be giving all 1s or 5s, which is normally done by people who haven't listened.

I pay attention to users, and him rating both a Temposhark album and a Daitro album is highly suspicious because he's never listened to anything like either of them.

Regardless of his ratings, his comments should all be deleted because they are retarded and make no sense for the most part.

I see your logic, and mostly agree on the comment thing.

If he makes a 1/5 review for Jane Doe, then I doubt he'd give 3.5/5 to a Daitro album.

Can we please just ban him?

Hey guys, I added an album to the database and at the time i couldn't find a cover pic. I recently found one, how can I add the cover pic to the album?

[Electric City]

theres an edit albums section in the edit reviews section

[ChaosInACan]

I've looked there. It's not there.

[charlesfishowitz]

^i think he means he added an album...not a review for the album...anyways, you might want to add a link to the album.

I did add the album. Here's the link to the cover pic:
http://g.virbcdn.com/cdnImages/constrain_200x400/PageImage-179928-938265.jpg

might be because you haven't done any reviews yet? I don't know what to tell you

[charlesfishowitz]

...and a link to the album you added....not the art...just the album you added.

[ChaosInACan]

Here's the link to the album:

Yeah, you need to review an album before the link appears. Once you've done that you can edit things yourself, but until then post things in here and the mods will deal with it.

help? all of my ratings are gone, besides the ones i've done in the best few days.

[Jom]

If you trolled a band (or multiple bands), your ratings reset as a security feature. The most common issue lies in rating bands 1 consistently throughout their discography. We can't recover your ratings, unfortunately.

[static]

What the ****, seriously? I honestly had like, a single 1 rating to Kevin Federline and a couple 1.5s to stuff like Soulja Boi and the like. I never "trolled" any band.

i've never been able to add comments whenever I make a list, the boxes come up and I input the info but when I hit submit it doesn't appear. I noticed others have got it to work, is this a known problem?

Add comments about the lists, or add comments under the list? Comments IN lists only work for albums (not just bands), but if you can't comment on your own list, that's a weird issue.

[Meatplow]

comments in the list yep. its all good, thanks

I don't remember making any promises about cracking down on dream band lists. mx tells us to let the list feature do its thing because it's one of the most popular features on the site, so anything that has a modicum of music-related stuff in it stays (for the most part). Not really sure why the Balls hate wagon is existing, either.

I think it'd be smart to delete the ratings and insert the release date (June 3rd) to prevent this from having a billion 5s before it's even released.

I'm just going to keep deleting the album every time it gets added to the database. ffs it's more than a month away, I don't understand the fascination with leaks (or leeks, for that matter)

http://sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=25266

[cometuesday]

why can't he rate an entire discography 5s?

if rating discographies all 5's is okay then they should stop wiping ratings for people who rate them all 1's. not that i believe either is okay but really, how many people here truly believe that a bands entire discography is a justifiable 5 all around? especially given the number of albums on some of the artists there... i mean a band has one, two, maybe even three albums if they're really that good sure but any more than that is just nonsense.

[Eliminator]

give me a minute i need to put quite a bit of thought into my next post

[Iluvatar]

1's are done maliciously and usually without any idea of what any of those albums even contains. straight 5's just indicates a fanboy, but its much more likely they would have heard those albums and thats all that really matters.

Also, I know before when I asked if I could review shows/concerts from bands that were not officially released by them but the distribution of them is encouraged I was denied. But since SCI has there On The Road series, which is basically the soundboard recordings of their concerts officially released through their website and nugs.net, I was wondering if I could review concerts which I have bought through that. I wasn't sure since they weren't official like a studio album, but they were still released through the band. It's similar to Phish's Live Phish series. It's just every concert not select ones.

[Correction]

okay, i've gotten negs on my john frusciante, lil wayne, jay-z and sunset rubdown reviews for no apparent reason (or none was given) and it's starting to piss me off. it's not like im a big stickler about this kinda thing, but all this happened like today (besides the sunset rubdown one, of which i dont care as much about,) which makes me thing it may be a certain user thats joined recently and likes music that sucks. i dunno, but if someone could get them removed, or the person that negged my reviews gives a reason why, that would be great.
