hey local S&L mod please move this

please

oh right we don't have a new mod how bad

can i be mod?

I've been campaigning for you to be mod for months.

True story.

Hey, finally a post that's not complaining about something.

Long time reading, first time asker. I've got a question about multi-sectioned songs(example: Green Day's "Jesus of Suburbia," and "Homecoming") where it's like five songs put together into one larger bit.

I've been working on a few of them, and I'd like to bounce the lyrics to them off of people here, but I didn't want to seem like I was just trying to "get around" rules. It's seriously intended to be one multi-sectioned song, but I don't want to rub people the wrong way and think I'm a jerk.

So what's the thoughts on this? Do I perhaps have to crit one song for at least each section?

If it's über long probably it'll be full of one-liner comment,s that's why I prefer to section even the long songs. But if you want to do it go ahead. :)

It's not like people care about this section of the forums anymore. :(

It's blasphemy that there's not more action around here... Truely is.

So question two; Is this forum strictly for just posting lyrics for critiquing or could a topic possibly consist of a discussion about certain items of interest? Like, concept albums or something. (cough, no I don't have anything specific in mind, what would make you think that?!, cough)

No man, you can talk about pretty much anything, as long as it involves lyrics/poetry/books whatever, but we try to keep things music related/word related, for purpose sake.

You can use community thread for anything else you want to talk about.

Otherwise it's an open forum.

Is it alright to create a topic purely for the discussion, or am I to restrict it to the Community Thread?

If it's related to what I said go ahead.

Otherwise if you feel like discussing pancakes, for instance, go to the CT.

I think Mitch posted a song in several parts. A new one every few days after he'd gotten a few crits. Seemed to work well.

Disscussion-wise, why not? Its not as though we've got a mod to close it.

Speaking of which, could a mod close please? just stupid.

Why can't I post a new thread?

cuz u r nub

-.- dude ur fag

it says:

You may not post new threads
You may post replies
You may post attachments
You may edit your posts

so I'm like, wtf?

You have to wait a couple days before posting a thread.

Tojes! There is a crisis in the forum!

There's like ten threads by one guy, and it is getting in the way of my forum enjoyment!

Would you be a darling and close a few (or all of them I dunno)?

Sure sorry hadn't seen them.

4_4

when can i make my own posts?

Right there?

Maybe you mean threads. Youhaveto wait 24 hours from your join.

Remember to read the rules prior to posting.

Hey guys - just want to ask a question on behalf of the user "Rocker13"

She joined up half way through the last Lyrical Challenge. She verified her account and was told she needed to wait before getting approval before posting.

She emailed me her challenge entry and I posted it for her until her account was activated, but even now (about 2 weeks at least after) its still not activated.

Could someone please have a look at it and let me know why her account is unable to post? She's wanting to have a go at the next lyrical challenge too but still can't post. (She'd post her problem here herself but cant :))

Are you sure she's activated the account?

When you register an email is sent with a link; click the link and the account should be acitvated. If she didn't get it, try checking her spam folder.
After its activated, she should be set to go.

Only other thing is that she wouldn't have been able to start new threads for the first 24hrs, but it shouldn't be that way for posting - Maybe she got confused between the two?

So not sure. Maybe log out, log in and try posting in here or something? If its verified, then I don't know what the problem could be.

Edit: there's a box in the bottom left or the screen that tells you what you can do: check that out and see what it says. should be something like

You may post new threads
You may post replies
You may post attachments
You may edit your posts

She's given me her password to log in, which I have managed to log in with myself too just to make sure of what I was seeing.

And I can log in, but clicking on Post Reply brings up the message saying it cant post because of a couple of possible reasons - account not activated by admins yet, banned for abuse etc etc.

I'll get her to check her emails to see if she can click on the activation link again, but im pretty sure that I wouldn't be able to log in unless the account had its email verified.

I've never had any troubles with the accounts I've had here, but I've heard of other people having difficulty signing up and stuff.

If she can't find the email, wait for tojes to come around and he can get an admin to activate the account anyway (I think)

Or an admin might just read this...

I can try.

Hey, is this forum appropriate for songwriting from a musical standpoint? As in guitars, bass, etc.

The title implies that it is but whenever I've checked in on this forum (which admittedly isn't often), it's pretty much exclusively about lyric writing.

I made an announcement allowing the discussion of songwriting from a musical standpoint, as you state.

Just don't expect much feedback since not many people who are into songwriting like in music come here often, but it's a good start. :)

Man, way to go not reading the announcements >_<. Sorry for the gratuitous question and thanks for the speedy answer :)

Ok, a similar problem to earlier in this thread. I can't post new threads. I've tried several times over several days and I have activated the account because when I click the link in the email it says ;This account has already been activated blah blah blah'. Any ideas what the problem is?

Nevermind that, its probably my -401 rep :S which i got for backchatting to someone who insulted me...

Maybe because you are a new user, wait 24 hours after you joined before you make a new thread about it.

Read the rules before posting a new thread!

Reputation has nothing to do with neg rep, anyway. I'll compensate for that.

Does negative rep stop me making threads?

no.

rep does nothing aside from putting the little green boxes under your name.

looks nice though.

edit: and tojes must have loads if you had -401 =/

What could be stopping me from making threads? I've activated the account, waited over 24 hours and looked through eeeeverything regarding thread rules etc.

Apologies if I seem like a whiney asshat

In the bottom left corner of the page what do the posting rules say for you?

'You may not post new threads'

I brought it to the attention of an admin hopefully he'll resolve it =)

Thanks very much

Edit: It sorted nowq. Says I can post. :)
