[QUOTE=Ganondorf]And btw theyre are too many official threads. Since when do megadeth need one?? I'd never seen a megadeth thread before...most of the discussion is just taking place for the sake of it....Megadeth are adequatley covered in the ToT thread...but dont get me wrong, they are my favourite band.[/QUOTE]

Yes, there are too many official threads but there is nothing that the mods can really do about it, except close the thread. Not to mention, with the addition of the 'Official Slipknot' and 'Official Tool' threads (baptized by SFK) you need to expect to see more of them because people who don't read the rules will think they are allowed to make an Official thread about there favorite artist.

Did you resize them? The maximum size they can be is 80X80. You can resize it with Photoshop.

80x80 is our mod privilege.

Most likely advertising his own band.

I saw one moderators avatar that was HUGE. Is this a perk of being a moderator? Also, how do you become a moderator?

Thanks in advance.

You become a mod, when MX (the admin of the site) appoints you because a certain forum needs help being run. You usually get to be a mod by being intelligent, and thinks like that. Yes, the Huge avatar is a perk of a moderator.

Suggestion: Official Red Hot Chili Peppers thread. I'd make it myself but I know that only mods are supposed to make these. Yeah and I apologize if I'm like the hundreth person to suggest this. If there already is one of these, the search did not find it.

I'm not too keen on any more official threads, I didn't like them in the first place.

But there is a good thing with official threads: There won't be 1000 threads about the same band and the same subject on that band. Then again, people will still continue to not read the rules and make threads over and over again anyway. I guess you could merge the threads if they are good enough.

advertising

I've got a suggestion on how maybe to stop all these new guys from making Top 5/10/20/856 threads. Why not make a sticky Top 5 bands/songs thread, to end all Top threads? That way, if people are curious as to everyone's favorite bands... Whala! It's right there on the first page.

noobs generally don't look at stickies. Everything could theoretically be solved with a stickey, but its just not pratical. As long as mods stay on top of it, they aren't really a problem.

Yes, but as you can see, people still make Metallica threads even though there is an official Metallica thread, when newbs come here they are determined to make a thread on their favorite band, even if there is already a thread about that band.
With all these official threads floating around, people think that they entitled to make their own 'official' thread and this is why i am also not keen of the official threads.

Thanks man.

Just wondering...Cos I'm new. I've read the forum rules, and I was looking at some of the links people posted here in regards to those that break the rules. I can understand the advertising and the "best band ever" threads, but I don't understand what was wrong with some of them (besides bad grammar). For example, the Tool thread posted a bit above me.
Thanks. Meanwhile, I really like the site, of what I've seen in the few days I've been a member. :thumb:

Threads like the 'Best band ever' threads are closed because they are done way too often. If you'll notice, that a few times a week there is a 'best...' thread. It's very repetitive and dumb since they are always done. So they are closed.
