I think I've got pretty decent stats, also I write a soundoff for every album I rate. If I applied I think I would have a good chance at getting it.

kill should apply hes been on a roll lately
|

no

I agree with mywi, KILL would do a good job, I enjoyed his most recent review.

Nag should be a contrib (infinity)
|

yea we really need some lamb-era genesis on the front page
|
| |
I'm totally there.
|
| |
"email me at princesofsudan@gmail.com"
Let me guess, there is an application fee to help fund the freeing up of your payroll capital that is
"being detained" in another country?
|
| |
I'd put in a vote for strangerofsorts and acanthus as well
|
| |
yea we really need some lamb-era genesis on the front page
Tbh, this is kinda true. Nag's an excellent writer, there's no question there, but with only a certain amount of spots available writers who are covering new releases are ultimately going to be looked at instead
|
| |
I'm sure he could do both Dev js.
|
| |
I'm not saying he can't, but one of the things that will be looked at is obviously the applicant's reviewing history
|
| |
"available writers who are covering new releases are ultimately going to be looked at instead"
this is why I figure Nag will most likely never be contrib
|
| |
Haha, this contrasts massively from last year when a bunch of us woke up with a flaming blob of red text on our profile pages.

I'd apply but I sincerely doubt I'd get the position.
|

--Haha, this contrasts massively from last year when a bunch of us woke up with a flaming blob of red text on our profile pages.--
Last year there were enough writers that truly stood out. This year we're having a hard time identifying anybody. That doesn't mean that they're not out there, just that we missed them and now they have to identify themselves.
--Sucks that you had to pay for it ;)--

"Gyro you are one of the best writers on this site, I think you should apply."
I appreciate that, but I've been told a few things that make me feel less enthused about the possibility of a promotion. Whatevs though, it's not a huge deal.
Irving should be given a staff promotion, he deserves it far more than anyone else. Eli is a close second. I think PaperbackWriter might be good for a contributor position.
|
| |
People that should be promoted:
- PaperbackWriter
- Noctus
- Spirit
- Gyro (him not having been promoted yet is a fucking disgrace imo)
- Nag
...

What have you heard? Jom and I have the final say and I can't think of any issues that we have with you.
|
| |
I was told by a couple of people (I won't give names as I don't want to cause drama) that certain staffers have said they would try to block me from getting a promotion if I applied. Reading your message is reassuring though. I think I'll pump out a half-dozen reviews before the deadline and apply. I haven't been as consistent this year as I was last year, but I can certainly get back up there.
|

No one has ever said that (at our end anyway)

yeah but aren't you a shit writer?

okay

Mileage varies, Aids. Most people seem to like my output.
Honestly, not bigging myself up here, but the KISScography alone should earn me a spot. Shit was titanic.
|
| |
Quality > quantity
|
| |
There's nothing wrong with RtR's quality
|
| |
Yeah but reviewing new releases matters quite a lot and that is something he doesn't even attempt to do.
Also I read that there are a lot of people on the fence about applying. Just go for it , at the very least you will get your name out there for the future.
|
| |
Yeah, I mean I applied once without getting it before I got it on my second try. It's always worth applying if for no other reason to find out what it is we're looking for: quality, consistency, new releases, contributions to the site, and personality/relationship with the users and staff
|
| |
Oh damn personality factors in? Well I'm fucked now. ;)
|
| |
That's probably the least important factor...I mean, just look at deviant ;-) (jk dev, we are staff siblings)
|
| |
I review what I want, when I want.
Can I be staff?
|
| |
maybe it's just cuz I'm on the site less but I feel like the pool of contribudates is a lot less than it has been in the past, all my fav reviewers that aren't staff/contrib don't cover new releases or don't write often... but uh I guess TheSpirit, craigy2, and maybe like PaperbackWriter or maybe even chambered just cuz he's legit should get it

Brandon you should apply
seriously
|

applied because why not
|

lol I hardly ever review new releases and I don't review consistently
no reason for me to apply

I love Irving but that's not who I was referring to. He doesn't review nearly enough.
|

Ali fucking W. Needs to apply or else I will make him!
|

OH MY GOD SOWING JUST TELL US THE TENSION IS KILLING ME
D:
and what the hell no offense to the other contribs but Irving is by far the best writer of the lot
|
| |
He posted within the last 3 posts ;-)
|
| |
I think he's referring to Chenophanes :D (whom I STILL - contrary to popular belief - adore)
And thanks Tyrael you're sweet but no I'm not the best writer on the Contrib board. I seriously don't review nearly enough these days to have earned that title =/
|

Xeno needs to review more indie before he can be staff!
:D

Don't worry gaiz my next review will make up for all my absences this quarter!
(and re-justify my getting a Contributor tag last year - which has become an increasing theme as of late due to my not reviewing enough these days lol)
|
| |
That's very kind of you to say, Sowing, but I have a lot of improving to do before that happens. Plus, there areloads more deserving than I, namely Irving (whom I'm happy still adores me back ; )...)
And c'mon Thomas I just reviewed some Indies : /
|

So much bromance in here. *tears welling*
|

Hey guys you remember the time when were all weensy Users (well I guess Sowing was a Contrib) and when we used to ballwash each other all day and Deviant would drop in and call us out on it? This thread is starting to remind me of that :D
And holy crap do I miss those days =)
|
| |
How many users are getting promoted to our contributor family? Is anyone getting the axe like last time?
|
| |
@Irving: lmao. Hopefully I can join you guys this time around. There definitely seems like there's a lot of room for contributing reviewers.
|

'And c'mon Thomas I just reviewed some Indies : /'
Maybe you should review GOOD indie next time!
Nah man I was joking (you know, the staff only reviews indie and yada yada) ;]. You're a great writer and you'd make a good addition to the staff team imo.
But yes I have a flaming reviewing coming up for that goddamn The Tallest Man On Earth record. Fuck.
|
| |
Gyro, I've said this consistently for the past few years: you deserve a promotion. You really do. We should have gone up together - you, Cheno, and I - but I guess you petered off a bit last year. But this should be your big chance. Bust a couple of solid pieces out and you should be set.
Oh, but do remember to come back and keep Contribbing even after you've been promoted - which seems to be a common mistake that our Contribs keep making XD
|
| |
Having to review new records to be considered is bullshit. There's nothing in the current music scene that interests me.
|
| |
That's because your taste is awful.
It's funny because I said it.
|
| |
Then you don't fit the criteria and should not be considered. Your last few posts indicate an intense sense of entitlement that is really off putting.
|
| |
"Having to review new records to be considered is bullshit. There's nothing in the current music scene that interests me."
It's their position to give away how they see fit. Just because you're a good reviewer and have written a lot, does not necessarily mean you meet what they have defined the Staff position to be.
|
| |
ReturnToRock: you see what you're saying, right? All reviewing sites have to keep up with the current trends, otherwise they wouldn't exist. Reviewing older material is all fine and dandy, but you have to keep with the times as well.
Irving: I most certainly will!
|

--How many users are getting promoted to our contributor family? Is anyone getting the axe like last time?--
The number promoted is flexible. No one is getting the axe this time. There's only two reasons any contrib would be returned to the user pool: 1) Shitty behavior. It's hard to write if you're banned all the time. 2) Inactivity

Speaking of which.....

I miss the ballwashing...deviant was always just jealous but he's more than welcome to partake ; (

Having to review new records to be considered is bullshit. There's nothing in the current music scene that interests me.
then you really don't fit the criteria of a contributing reviewer, therefore the position would mean nothing to you, so why are you applying when it would consist of reviewing new records when you got the place?
|
| |
"Right. Let's cut the bullshit. You all know who I am. Seven years. 300 reviews. #1 ranked used. KISScography. Yeah. That guy."
lol. You're good with words, aren'tcha?
|
| |
That has to be the worst submission for anything I've ever seen

i got you blogging privileges tho, that was all me i totally delivered
|

I never doubted you
|
| |
Yeah RtR has the best application 5/5
|
| |
The best part is how he extols the legendary status of his KISS reviews but until today I had no idea that someone actually reviewed KISS' entire discography.
What a legacy, bud.
|
| |
Yeah, and I mean it's just KISS...
|
| |
Well the band was big enough that they've gotten the both of us to write their name in all caps
|
| |
You present a good point, Eli. lol
|

Promote Captaindooright, Ohamastyle. Irving should be staff.
demote downer.

Returntorock shouldn't be contributor because this is a music website, people come here to see reviews of new albums. There's nothing wrong with the quality of his writing, but promoting him makes even less sense than promoting nagrarok
|
| |
Now that's harsh because Nag actually rules hard and RtR doesn't. :/
|
| |
I've never had a problem with RtR, but that application was is hilariously bad. I hope it's a joke and he's not actually THAT conceited.
|
| |
It's hard to tell.
|
| |
I seriously don't get why people hate Downer. you guys are weird.
and i've decided I'm applying cause why the fuck not? not gonna get promoted but hey.
hey.
|
| |
I know nag rules I'm just saying he doesn't review new stuff
|
| |
Adrian, I've always really liked your writing.
|
| |
I seriously don't get why people hate Downer. you guys are weird.[2]
Yeah he only had that one teenage sex review in his "black eyes" column, and even that could variously be viewed as a feather in his cap lol ;)
|

Nagrarok, Captain and greg84 for staff.

"Promote Captaindooright,"
yep lets promote the guy who copy-pasted most of his reviews and defended it because "remix artists can do it", swell idea
|
| |
and thanks omaha. i think my writing is alright, but I wouldn't get promoted because I barely review and when I do it's bullshit 5/5 stuff for Laura Stevenson and Japandroids. plus, the staff/contributor pool hardly needs another writer with taste like mine.
|
| |
porch should be made contrib but only if learns he expand his reviews into a bloated mess stretching for at least 6 paragraphs
|
| |
porch is definitely a good enough writer to make it, but i don't think he reviews a lot of new releases.
|
| |
u should be glad he just doesnt want to shatter ur illusions about the new mastermind of indie
|
| |
academy for mod!
|

if icylily becomes one im leaving, hot damn

"yep lets promote the guy who copy-pasted most of his reviews"
Let's not over-exaggerate, he did that with a few reviews. And he isn't the only one to have done that. He apologized and was forgiven. Let's move on. Quite frankly, he's a good writer and a well-behaved user- certainly a good candidate for promotion.
|
| |
people always get super-over-the-top-polite-and-humble-etc. when the issue of promotions come up it's kinda funny
this doesn't apply to returntherock or whatever but that's even funnier

Really doesn't matter if it was only one of his reviews or all of them. He's proven to us he can't be trusted and that he thinks ripping someone else's work off is a joke so why would we promote him?
And by all means, if you have other instances of plagiarism, report them
|
| |
I understand what you mean. And yes, I agree plagiarizing is indeed a terrible thing to do. But people change. He got caught and
learned his lesson. He's uploaded a few reviews since then, which have all been legitimate. We've all fucked up at least once in
our lives, but we learn from those mistakes and move on to better ourselves- he's done that. I understand why the mods dont
consider him for promotion, but to keep picking on the guy because of his mistake is just rude.
|
| |
It's the internet get over it.
|
| |
Xeno, with all do respect, If you were the one being picked on over a mistake you made I'm sure that you would appreciate someone being on your side.
|
| |
Can someone tell me what the fuck m/ means already
|
| |
m/ is all and that whatever will be and has been.
|
| |
Pretty much sums it up.
|
| |
It means metal Puddles but it goes beyond that. It's almost like a brotherhood.

will sell my body for contrib tag.

And I quote: "but grammar is incredibly flexible when bent in the name of flow."
|
| |
And your motivation for posting that is...?
|
| |
Well, if you weren't there, you probably don't understand...
But if you were, then you should understand. Simple really.
|
| |
Meh, we disagree on something. I don't really understand the commotion or, indeed, the decision to bring it up in the comments section of the contrib post.

Not. At. All.
|

lmao
|

I typically agree with you a lot of the time, but that was a pretty douchey thing to say. What Deviant quoted, I mean.
|
| |
Context is kinda required, but hey I don't pretend to be perfect. 
|
| |
I read the review and thread.
|
| |
I swear the contributor list is just going to be everyone on muzikdiscovery
|
| |
No one should be able to be a contrib unless they have flashed maniac in the sputnik tinychat
|
| |
"I read the review and thread."
Dammit...
"I swear the contributor list is just going to be everyone on muzikdiscovery"
It's going to be everyone but me, just you watch.
|
| |
ReturnToRock will be added as a contributor, then raised to staffer in less than 24 hours
And that's it - that'll be the only promotion.
|
| |
Xeno, with all do respect,
if paperbackwriter gets promoted im leaving sputnik
|
| |
(not really... im just trying to make him feel bad about all that bullshit up there)
|
| |
Might as well have called this sputnik's whining thread
|
| |
With all doo respect
|
| |
hug it out?
|
| |
(not really... im just trying to make him feel bad about all that bullshit up there)
I was sticking up for a friend, I'd do the same for you. I'm not going to feel bad about that.
|
