thanks on both counts I hope he sees the notification now...

another entry for the Hall of Fame, https://www.metal-archives.com/users/Au ... ileofflesh added "Various metal subgenres" under "Styles/specialties" for https://www.metal-archives.com/history/ ... abel/id/20

howcome i never thought of that, i wonder?!

just a heads up, Zyzol signed in again, ignored the report and is still doing the bandcamp thing... :/

So, is this the way to reach "Metal Demon" rank?

- I asked him to cut that Bandcamp stuff out. Though I was waiting to hear from someone to determine that it was an unnecessary edit, as far as I can tell there's no good reason to be doing that. Also mentioned the importance of communication in reports that request attention, so hopefully there will be a response.

User johnnydays fell flat on answering a very basic question recently, and I'd like to bring him up also as someone that was adding guesswork themes ("Christianity" based on some references to church and angels in band name/song titles. It's totally ignorant to assume the context that any of those words are used in, and when you're not going to back your edit up by responding, to me that says that your work on here is questionable at best). The lyrical theme was completely wrong, by the way.

User Josh7707 on this band page: https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Kali/3540504942

He's adding YouTube singles that don't seem very different from one another, adding unnecessary information (e.g. the link to the video in every field of the additional notes), and the videos aren't even available anymore, it appears. Notwithstanding the fact that the releases may all be invalid, I tried to clear out the excess stuff on one of them (https://www.metal-archives.com/history/ ... id/1121644) and he added it back. Maybe someone could give him a heads up.

- message sent to Josh7707, and the page is cleaned up.

Attention required. Adds YouTube videos as valid releases, sloppy edits, etc.

Yeah, that's hideous work. Sent a warning, and have requested additional info about a few of the edits. Going to clean some of that other stuff up, too.
(edit) Mess cleaned. 90% of the edits made were obvious guesswork, adding in a formation date a year prior to or the year of a band's first release. Here, ( https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Nuh/3540466306 ) the bio states "Active for two years, around 2004. They never played live." In 2020 a CD of their recorded work was released. The user added 2020 as their only year active. Nothing is being capitalized correctly, lyrical themes entered in are the first thing you'd think of from hearing the band's name, and hatred was spelled 'hatrid'.
(April 17th update: user read all messages/inquiries, responded to none. So far hasn't made any new edits).

Much appreciated, Spook!

He likely has some kind of dispute with Gabriel Sabatini and vandalised these pages, including a link to a porn site:

I can't tell if his first 2 edits are legit (they could be). I'm reverting the last 4.

- After cleaning up a note this user had added which stated that Peter Steele's height was 2.03 centimeters (smaller than a walnut), had a quick glance at what other bits of astute wisdom they've been gracing the site with. Immediately saw some poorly-worded and questionable facts being entered into pages of Black Sabbath albums. Their edit history should definitely be looked into.
(edit): Took a closer look, and most of the edits seem fine.

https://www.metal-archives.com/users/TheDevilKiller999 is messing a lot! I don't really fet the point of doing that anyway, considering that in a couple of hours all your efforts will be deleted!

It looks like Hellblazer cleaned that one up. Thanks for the alert.

- Started entering guesswork lineups in quickly and suddenly (including some with roles unknown, as they are listed as documented band members). Noticed it right away, fortunately. Critical warning sent, and mess cleaned. Should be banned if it continues on beyond this edit: 2023-05-18 14:10:52 - Incursion - Revolution.

Maybe ought to be kept an eye on. Added a goofy additional activity date to this band page and added a duplicate digital entry to a single release.

(this is the kid that told Azmodes to f-off when he tried to be more than helpful about something in Discord. Maybe S9NE or someone else happens to remember from about 3 months back. That was after warnings, etc. Not someone we need around, especially with the state the queues have been in lately).

- consistently crappy user that often replaces band photos (seemingly without much taste for what picture would be best to use), but doesn't always check and accordingly fix the additional notes/bio if the members are identified from left to right in the photo mentioned - and this is for well-known bands like Dark Angel and Sodom. If anyone has a chance to check their edit history for replaced band photos where the note wasn't fixed but should have been, it would be appreciated. Have also seen them replace release artwork with a worse version of it on a few occasions, and replace logo with another (worse) one when there was specifically a moderator note saying not to.

Some reason they weren't banned? (see post from 5 days ago)
