We'll just wait for the other guys to say what they think, then we'll make some decisions.

Keep the suggestions coming though. :)

The official threads are like little communities of their own, so closing/abandoning them would probably upset a fair few people. It does divide the forum up however so I guess whaever action is taken will have its pro's and con's.

[QUOTE=Bartender]In what way, not working?[/QUOTE]

it said i posted on the the thread but now they wont show up

it was really wierd

The only really needed one would be Metallica, maybe slipknot. But I think all the rest can go(But, could we still keep them in the rules thread for easy access?)

We wouldn't be getting rid of the threads, just not closing threads related to the bands.

So, people who make a Jet thread when one already exists get theirs closed, but people who make a Pink Floyd thread, (once the official one becomes de-officialised) don't get theirs closed simply because the Floyd one used to be official?

That is the summation of everyone's logic so far. I don't mean to be rude, but any new threads made about "official thread" bands will still be flamed for not searching, and will still be nominated for closing. Changing the title does nothing. I don't mind them being unofficial or official, but it will have a miniscule impact on the forum (a few less noobs will ask if HiM can get an official thread, etc).

The Metallica thread really was actually needed (you know, back in the day), but after a few months it basically became a spam thread. Many of the official threads there are now, I don't even know where they came from. Like Black Sabbath, and Megadeth, and others; maybe I fell asleep for a few weeks or something, but when did we have problems with an influx of threads about them?

A lot of the threads: Megadeth, Black Sabbath and Opeth were made official simply because they weren't going anywhere.

Another Modern Rock Sucks thread.

That HIM is Satanic thread has also served it's purpose. :)

It took just 6 posts for the threadstarter to admit this was spam.

Nothing to explain.

does anyone know how to check rep points? i have no idea wat they are or anything
help please

to check your rep points go to your User Cp via the link at the top left of the screen and scroll to the bottom of the page.
rep points are reputation points. You get given positive rep for useful posts and negitive rep for idiotic posts. you give rep by clicking the little tick/cross box under someone's avatar.

Ostensibly, they're supposed to single out good users. You can give out rep points (reputation points), positive or negative, to anyone by clicking the little box with the tick and X in it under their avatar.

You have the option of giving positive or negative rep, and of leaving a message which they can read. The amount you give out depends on how many you have yourself.

To check how many you have, go to your user CP (link on the forum toolbar in the top left of the page). Scroll to the bottom, past subscribed threads, and your total rep points and last five comments (if they left comments) should be there, if there are any.

I think that's all :)

EDIT: I knew someone would beat me to it. Hurrah for the extra post, anyway.

you can also only give out yay much rep in 24 hours, and you can't rep the same user twice in close succsession.

ok cheers to both of u, but i dont have any rep anyway... maybe one day lol

Stick around the forum for a while and post constructively and your rep will soon creep up.

thats just crazy enough to work.... :thumb: ive been reading these forums for years, but i never bothered to post :( ah well ill get there eventually hehe

theres an official ratm thread.

++reps linkotim.

Bomber:Technically it's not official, just big.

Mod's:Here's a good chance to test out and new descisions you've made.

The RATM was against the rules whether it was a RATM thread or not. :p

I'd rather let Ken and Jelle voice their opinions on this before any actions are taken.

oh sorry my mistake. Shouldn't that have been banned if it was not official, like not made by a mod?

This thread is inexcusably lame, plus people are coming in and saying Sum 41 songs. Yes, Sum 41 are really Satan's prefered choice of theme music :rolleyes:
