It's not fair that we have to wade through the posts of the regular scum to see our holy words. Be serious, Vince.

True, but then there are good posters like me you miss out on.

I think the only way to rectify this issue is to mod me... <_<

Someone needs to take a needle to this windbag. He's spamming up the new Lamb of God thread with a lot of pointless attacks on not only the band, but also people who listen to LoG. Apparently, he's operating under the delusion that his taste in music makes him the superior being.

Be sure to check the rest of The Jam Session for other specific threads, but the one I just linked you to would be your best bet.

He got seven days. Going into a community thread like that and calling the band "gay" = ban.

That gates of heaven guy is almost a gimmic, he has been banned many times then just comes back and spams up more. If he does it again he should be permed.

Sounds good. I'll keep an eye on him when he comes back. :)

Oh yea, why is Riva banned lol. I heard Bartender banned him for 7 days for closing the community thread? or was it for like...spam?

He always comes back, he's been perm banned before.

Riva isn't banned. It's just an extended joke that the powers-that-be are dragging out.

If I have to give photograph proof, I will.

Haha, I'm not going to ban him as soon as he registers or anything, but if he keeps breaking rules I'll keep banning him. Banning is easy to do.

I've acually got a real question, have any write-ups on Unearth been done yet? I kinda wanna do one...

Not that I know of. Maybe in Punk or Hardcore/Emo, but then again, maybe not.

You might want to get confirmation from someone more reliable than I, though.

I can cover that, but the inaneness of the responses really deserves bans imo.

Okay. Some time in the middle or end of summer, myself, and quite a few others requested for the removal of the ***OFFICIAL*** thread tag. I thought we did this so that it would be allowed to have more than one thread about a single band or topic. As it turns out, the only thing the removal if this tag did was just that- We just don't see the excess of stars and caps. It is still basically not allowed to have more than one thread about a band.

This is just one example of why I think R&M has begun to sort of decline in quality in the past few months or so. When I say quality, I don't really mean quality, as there are tons of elaborate write ups and such, but lets take a step back and compare R&M to something I know we all share a passion for- Music; I think R&M has become a sort of "Dream Theater" of forums. It's basically everyone showing off their wonderful writing skills, it's too structured, and really no room at all for fu[size=2]cking[/size] around. (Just an example, don't flame me or anything for using DT as an example) Maybe it's just me, but I can only endure this type of virtuistic going-ons for so long. What I'm saying is that as a community, we need to loosen up, not care as much about sticking exactly to the rules, and just kind of have some fun here.

The only specific thing I can think of as to how to try and improve what we've got is to allow multiple band threads. I'm not talking about having a pair of discussion threads for a band, but I'm talking about threads that are about different topics pertaining to the same band. I don't want to do away with the band threads that exist now, but I think it would be good to allow bands to have threads that are about a specific album, or something. :shrug:

I'm also not saying "do away with the articles." I love reading these just as much as the next guy, but reading articles about the same band get a bit old...If you have an original idea for an article, then write it, but I've seen a lot of articles about bands that pretty much everyone knows about.

Think about it. Give me feedback. Neg me, whatever. If you have any more ideas, feel free to share them, but this is just an idea. I know it's been done before, but rather than create a thread just to say this, I thought I'd put it in here, as it [i]is[/i] the "suggestion" thread. :p

Thanks for reading.

I agree with about everything you said.

I feel like I come in this forum and see nothing new. That's why I rarely post. I can't just jump into a huge thread and really get into it.

I miss seeing threads about my favorite bands every once in a while.

If we did allow multiple threads about bands, I don't really see how we could keep the "official" threads open. They would still be bumped regularly, and like now, the non-official threads would be pushed off the first page(s).

Do we really need threads dedicated to bands that there aren't that many threads of in the first place? I don't think we do.

The R&M forum seems like it's divided into about 400 mini-forums (official threads).

I've never been a fan of official threads...but I think it would cause problems to eliminate them too.

I know it would. There is just a lack of change in here. It's getting boring. I love the R&M forum; I always have. I don't want to get bored with it.

This isn't about Dr. Jake Destructo and I trying to put our opinions over everyone else's, we were just discussing it and we both agreed.

I agree...hence branching out to other forums :)

However, I still do learn tons here, but more through the community thread than any other threads.
