I probs shouldnt have stood down from being contrib solely due to all the neg backlash I get for being who I am

agreed

i mean if xenophanes can be a staff reviewer, theres no way u couldnt be at least contrib lol

if i behaved myself and kept up consistent editing, reviews, lists, and blogs, I probs could have made staff, but i didn't really feel the urge to do much reviewing anymore, and i deleted all my lists.

To be fair I never neg a review based on personal feeling, only when I think the review itself warrants it. Doesn't matter how I feel about the author

i always neg based on personal feeling, especially if the person has a wrong opinion or has ever disagreed with me on anything

people here tend to abuse systems because sputnik is a big shitfest, but thats why i love it tbh

i don't come here to be serious or have a super engaging conversation, i come here to talk shit while i'm on the toilet, or unwind after work

i save """serious""" stuff for reviews or blogs

i mean there are still consequences for abusing too much, so thats nice at least

This is the only outlet I really have for reviews so I do take mine with a certain degree of seriousness

obvs there are people who take it too far like sach and skele being extreme examples, but i've never been banned so i like to think i'm rather tame with my apparently extremely controversial facetious behaviours

all my reviews are 100% serious except my in flames one that i did as a joke for darius

u can get slapped for troll negs and troll 1s too which i think is nice

at least u used to anyway

and my rivers of nihil one WAS serious though i did pump it out in five minutes mainly just to stir shit (i typically don't write negative reviews because i feel like i'd rather write about things i LOVE than things i don't)

That s fair enough. I can tell when you're very positive about an album you describe it well in a personal dimension

lol u say that rev wasnt serious but i wouldnt be surprised if its actually accurate

i mean im not enough of a masochist to listen to any more new in flames releases but ...

darius promised he's listen to every one of my albums if i listened to that one in flames album, so i felt like it was a fair deal haha

Album Rating: 3.0

This has its moments. It really annoys me how the prog/jazz sections are completely separate yet shoehorned into the middle of tracks though.

I presume he'll get insta-banned for the use of homophobic language, so then it'll be back to a lone crusade.

"darius promised he's listen to every one of my albums if i listened to that one in flames album, so i felt like it was a fair deal haha"

I had to bail on Dying Fetus/Thy Art/RoN because I forgot I'm supposed to be flying out to Baltimore in a couple weeks and haven't been saving... my show drought continues
