[QUOTE=Six Foot Revolver]So I have discovered to Metallica fanboys who have cheated in the polls[/QUOTE]

Not me. :confused:

[QUOTE=Six Foot Revolver]Well there is a blatantly obvious one with jubjay or something like that and jubjay 2. Also, just little things like several members who haven't posted in months and have 0.01 ppd and stuff like that.[/QUOTE]

/checks poll thread

there's indeed something wrong going on there. Did you report it? Shouldnt a mod do something? Fanboysm is teh suck :(

[QUOTE=Byzantine]Not me. :confused:[/QUOTE]
I thought you did at first but you didn't and I apolgise.

[QUOTE=Stoic]sure it was to the point but still too typical!

since I cannot explain it in english here are some extracts from google:
Stoic
-a member of the ancient Greek school of philosophy founded by Zeno
-seeming unaffected by pleasure or pain; impassive; "stoic courage"; "stoic patience"; "a stoical sufferer"
-someone who is seemingly indifferent to emotions
-virtue is the highest good and that men should be free from passion and unmoved by life's happenings

also I like word ending in "-ic" (greek influence ;)) like eccentrIC, skeptIC, cyniC etc

EDIT



heh, how did you find out?[/QUOTE]


OH.

Zeno, Stoicism, say no more, I know all about it.

Even though I am a Metallica fanboy i wouldnt cheat. Its not like anything happens if Cliff wins, I just dont understand what the point of cheating is. Its a poll to see who MX thinks is the best R&M bassist. So dumb.

Oh noes, cheating.

Not the first time Metallica fanboys have cheated in an MX poll either.

[QUOTE=Six Foot Revolver]Not the first time Metallica fanboys have cheated in an MX poll either.[/QUOTE]

I remember Tool fanboys cheating to get Lateralus to win.

Yup but the votes were not counted and DSOTM won instead :)

Metallica fanboys cheated in the ultimate metal band competition

[QUOTE=Six Foot Revolver]Not the first time Metallica fanboys have cheated in an MX poll either.[/QUOTE]

It happens every time anything related to Metallica is involved in a poll.

[QUOTE=Lunch]It happens every time anything related to Metallica is involved in a poll.[/QUOTE]
They suprisingly didn't cheap in the album competition or not blatantly terrible like this anyway. [I]...And Justice for All[/I] came a respectful third.

I can edit the poll if you like.

But still, its not like there are only Metallica fanboys, Im sure there are fake votes for other bassists too, there is just more Metallica fanboys than other bands.

[QUOTE=Superpeer]I can edit the poll if you like.[/QUOTE]

^^List of bad votes

Bartender said something about mods changing the votes completely messes up all the votes or something so you may not want to edit it.

Yeah, but that doesn't give them the right to cheat to begin with.

Its unfair just to edit Cliffs votes. If you are going to edit it, go through all of the bassists and find all the fake votes then do it.

[QUOTE=Jom]Yeah, but that doesn't give them the right to cheat to begin with.[/QUOTE]
Exactly, it just puts all the hard work YDload has put into this a waste of time.

EDIT: Meh, beaten by 6FR.

Look, YDload puts a ton of work and effort into the contest. If people are going to be faggots and cheat for some inexplicable reason (for chrissakes, it's an MX poll. Surely people can use their honors system?), that totally ruins a) the contest and b) YDload's feeling that he's running a clean competition.

Look I just went through Flea and all these are POSSIBLE fake votes, not for sure.

These are just possible not for sure, but Im just saying its unfair to just take votes away from Cliff.

I was also planning on going through all of them later :thumb:

6FR sounds so cool :cool:

Hello thread :wave:.

[QUOTE=I Am Vikingcore]Hello thread :wave:.[/QUOTE]
I remember your IAVC account, you probably used that more than your other account because you were always banned :p

I hate when the idiot fanboys do that kinda crap. It gives the rest of us a bad rep as well as ruining something as petty as a poll on the internet.

It doesnt make sense why you would take time out of your life to do that. Sad and lonely people

Man. Hauling gravel in wheel barrows sucks big time. I spent today getting the foundation ready for this sidewalk we're putting in front of our house. It's really not that much fun at all.

Changing the subject, does anyone like Dredg? I got Catch Without Arms a couple days ago, and man, it kicks some pretty wicked as[B][I][/I][/B]s.

Metallica fanboys strike again. If they are caught, i think the Official Metallica thread should just be closed, its stupid. Hes not even a really good bassist, its like Nirvana fanboys cheating to make Cobain the best song writer of all time or something.

True, but man, he's just sooo unique! A bass player with solos..:amaze: And wah. zomg amazing.

Anyways, I voted for freaking JPJ, and he has like 1/3 the votes Burton has. Oh, btw, you should have kept the 88 at least. :p

Heh, naaah. I love 88 Fingers Louie, but i love Hellsing more.

:lol:

haha well said!
Cheating or not the results of these polls are predictable: Fanboys always win :(

Yeah, it's like that with every poll we've had...

Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven, Dark Side of the Moon, Jimi Hendrix, and now Cliff Burton(perhaps) are all heavily followed by obsessed fanboys.

I asked this after the guitar poll that Schyma did, but what are your guys' thoughts on a modern rock poll? I'd like to do one, but I've seen lots of negative feedback from a few people. I'd have to get mod approval of course, but what do you guys think?

Well I was meant to be doing one after Shymas but didn't and I will probably be doing it after YDloads.

You got your name changed again?

To a Break The Silence song :cool:

Thank me. NOW!

Yeah he is teh lame.

[QUOTE=clearvision]Yeah he is teh lame.[/QUOTE]
Shut it fagvision :mad:

:lol: Fagvision.

Im going to call you that now.

So, now DBJ is just pretty much like "Oh, fuc[B][I][/I][/B]k it, I might as well change their name so they quite bit[B][I][/I][/B]ching at me" or what? It seems like he's just handing them out like nothing. :p It used to be you had to work for a name change. :fistshake: Dam[B][I][/I][/B]n these changing times!

Well he made a thread saying he'd change anyone who requests a change (which he has done before, kind of).

Hey, i have 9 reviews on Sputnik. And think off all the educational threads on music other than R+M i post/ed!

[QUOTE=Joe]And no, their chips. We have been eating chips with battered fish for centuries. You haven't even been a Country for centuries.[/QUOTE]

Ah yes, fish and chips. England's beloved deep-fried cultural disaster.

I got the Public Enemy Live in London DVD today...the actual show was great, but the quality of the video footage was terrible. It also reminded me of the time I helped my friend's band win the Battle of the Bands one year in HS when we did Bring The Noise :cool:

I honestly never saw what was so special about Cliff Burton, and I still think it's funny/fishy that someone with the screenname "Zeppelin_rocks" would vote for him over John Paul Jones. I voted for John Entwistle. And given the mindless following Flea has, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some cheating on his end this round.

And I got a namechange long before it was cool. Kids these days.
