I doubt that the majority of new people are going to read anything that has to do with rules. Most just want to start posting their thoughts. Maybe if there was an announcement that said, NEW USERS COME HERE. But even then the announcement would have to be left up for a long time, MX gets new users almost everyday.

[QUOTE=King_Of_Terrors]What is happening? There are tons of new rule breaking threads popping up every day, tons....

Something needs to be done. Since nobody reads the rules, make it as an announcement up top. Everyone reads those.[/QUOTE]

I fully agree. All these n00bs come in and never care to know the rules...


Ban the idiot who started this SOAD thread.....

too many little stupid rules looks like these moderators are a bunch of little wannabe pussy rockers who still live at home with mommy or something it sucks here you cant even express your thoughts on music. this is a music forum so lets talk about music. instead of dealing with all these bull**** stupid rules. i agree that people shouldnt fight or nail each others bands but still the rest of these rules suck.

Dear Pantera&Slayer,

If you didn't want people to fight, you should have realised forcing your opinion on them, i.e making a thread of greatest guitarists, was a bad idea.

Also, I do live with my mother, but I'm fairly certain you do too, especially in light of the fact that your lack of basic grammar leads me to believe you are around 12-16. If you are indeed older than this, than I pity you deeply, my poor retarded friend.

Nobody will stop you from talking about music, either, but if you feel that you are too confined by our multitude of rules, then please, feel free to leave. Know that by leaving, you are instantly more immature than the thousand or so regulars that visit R&M daily.

Thank you for your time, Pantera&Slayer. If you feel you can post like a rational person, you may use this account for the two days it takes your other account to come off its ban.

Yes i do agree there should be a pantera thread, it would be great thanx for the suggestion Tim, if there is one, point me in the direction. Thank you for your time.

If you don't like the rules, then the only real solution is not to post here. If you stay here for more than a few days though, you'd probably find that the majority of the rules really are necessary.

What would the announcement say? If it just contained the entire Rules thread, no one would bother reading it. If it said something like "Please go to this thread *link* and read the rules before posting", all you're doing is pointing out a thread that they're going to look at and not bother reading. Besides which it'd just be overshadowed by the next forum-wide announcement that came along.

well im sorry you dont like my grammer if you dont like the way i type then im sorry you feel that way by the way who the **** you calling immature if your insults are completely childish???? you hypocrite. no need to feel sorry for me. and im not your friend either. just because your a little kid who lives with his mother and spends all day on his computer being a moderator doesn't mean i have to agree with your opinions or rules. i dont care ban me again. you just don't want to take the truth that is all. It's funny how much of a Fake you are. You come off trying to be ruthless and hardcore online but you know goddamn well you would not say any of that to my face.

if you want we can chat on msn or something

I don't see where you got the idea that living with my mother equates to my being weak, but ah well. Let's get the facts straight.

I am a 19 year old University student who works 20 hours or so a week to pay for my fees, hence I live at home still to try and save some money on rent. I'm hardly in a position to spend all day on the computer, and in fact I do go outside on many an occasion. I don't consider myself fake at all, I genuinely love music, and hence I believe I have a right to moderate a music forum. As I said before, no one forces you to post here, find somewhere else if you don't like it.

As for you, I'm guessing you are an Australian, since you would be a nerd indeed to be up this late in America or Europe. So, let's set up a meeting point, and I'll see if I can make it there to tell you these things [i]to your face[/i].

I would be very suprised if it was any reason other than this.

It doesn't do it on my computer though. I typed a hyperlink, and it was clickable and took me to the site I wanted it to take me too.

Well it really makes write-ups and such look bad.

You guys are going to have to deal with it until Chad dies or something.

He is doing all of this only because he got banned once?

The story of Chad, in a nutshell:

Chad, as Light Fantastic, was a mainstay in Guitar and The Pit.

Chad gets banned by SFK for breaking a rule.

SFK trollbans Chad.

Chad throws a hissy.

Another mod gave Chad another chance to redeem himself, but he broke the rules again.

Here we are today.

Moral of the story: Chad needs to grow up.

*sighs* Yes, this is very true.

I've got a big problem, his name is Arucard.

Respected member of the forum with 8000 posts does NOT constitute his anus-like behavior. He has been coming into the Bodom thread and mindlessly bashing them in favor of Avenged Sevenfold for over a week now, and apparently does the same in the Metallica thread. This kind of behavior should not be acceptable at all on this forum, veteran or not.

I had to dig back a few pages, but I found a couple posts.

Part of me says that that's his nature (because it is), but I gave him a quick warning not to ruin your guys' thread with his comparisons and obvious elitism. He knows how to get a hold of me to vent if he needs to; he shouldn't take it out on you guys or your thread.

Thanks Jom, he did a lot more damage a few days back but today wasn't exactly what I'd call very good either.

It would be great if you ban our little metallica fanboy...

He's making non stop posts about metallica in the a7x thread.

The arguement is over relating to Alexi Laiho, Synster Gates and Metallica.

He I guess already got banned once, w/e that was for...

Please stop his spam parade in the a7x thread...

I'd like to complain about Joe(Arucard)
He bashs CoB mindlessly... He's made a couple anti Alexi posts in his a7x thread...

Thanks Jom for warning him.

Ok, i left it, i'm leaving it and i won't bring it up again, because i'm not posting in R+M again for a while. I have obvious reasons, and although i don't want to sound like an elitist prick (even though i am going) the stupidty of people regarding what hardcore is and what metalcore is and what emo is was a LARGE contributing factor for my decision to leave it for a while. Yes, stupidity angers me. You know what else angers me? Threads where a bands musical credibility cannot be questioned because people get angry. At the minute, all the new official threads are doing is providing a place for idiots to circle jerk about how good Alexi is, or how good Avenged Sevenfold are, or how much they want to bone the singer of Nightwish.

A7X are flawed, yes, but saying FALSE things about them, such as claiming their guitarist is not very good is just ridiciulous. Its a FACT that hes good, if you listen to any of the rythmn or lead stuff he does he blows nearly everyone in the current more 'mainstream' metal scene out of the water. You guys calling them fags is also not a reason to dislike their music. I came into the CoB thread because you were mindlessly bashing them, and i gave [I]reasons[/I] why i disliked CoB, yet i get threatened with a ban? I must have made all of 6 or so posts in there. If all this forum is going to be is a chance for people to get each other off with no arguments or criticism of bands, then i have no place in it for the time being.

CoB guys : I apologise that i was so harsh, but you didn't see us mindlessly bashing bands in our thread, and if we bashed a band we gave reasons. I also recognize that Avenged Sevenfold have musical flaws, but you saying 'they look like fags' just doesn't cut it with me.

Yah thats about it, end of story i guess.

And wooooh, wait a second? When the hell was i bashing in the Metallica thread?

Ban his arse, or move it, or just put it out of my temptation to flame.

Joe, I never had problems with what you said, but the one post I quoted from you, where you basically said you had a right to be a dick and flash your postcount (or whatever it was) was out of line.

I hope you come back soon. You know, you could have just taken the time and made a write-up since you feel so strongly about this, but you didn't - I think the forum would have benefited from your knowledge rather than your flaming.

But, hope you come back soon. Until then, happy trails.
