anyone else think it would be nice to have a link that leads to a list of blacklisted bands? no information on the bands or anything, but maybe an addition to the sidebar titled "blacklist" or "blacklisted bands" that brings you to a list of bands on the blacklist? It seems more efficient to me other methods of checking i usually use to see if a band is blacklisted or just hasn't been added yet. If there's already a feature like this that i'm unaware of, sorry, and if this has already been tried, or there's already been a post about this, sorry but this is just my two cents on the situation.

It's not gonna happen. Besides that, a list would do you absolutely no good as you have suggested. When you try and submit a band it tells you if said band is blacklisted, what more do you need? It's easy enough for us to provide you the reasons.

I understand why but like, maybe at least a reason for why its blacklisted? If It seems like I'm arguing, I'm sorry I don't want it to come off as that, and most bands I can understand why they're on blacklist but there are few in confused about like dehumanizing iteration worship, cock and ball torture, xavleg, etc. But, again, this is just my two cents, and I don't wanna drag anything out past this

Dehumanizing Itatrain Worship is a love live! school idol project arrange band. Cock and Ball Torture is more on punk side of grind. Xavleg before was blacklisted for being -core.

The thing about the blacklist is that bands that are blacklisted before V2 don't have update to blacklist notes and are blank, so even then there might not even be a reason. There's 19K backlisted entries, and that is a lot to go through. That and there's blacklisted entries that are most for us, the mod team than for regular users etc.

Blacklisted bands are blacklisted and fully rejected by the MA database. MA is a metal archives website, and does not need detailed information about the blacklisted non-metal or ambiguously metallic bands.

Except when they are appealed, or just blacklisted because people keep on submitting bands before they have an album released (like big projects).

Thanks for the post, Space Cadet but the peanut gallery need not be involved.

wow, 19k bands, huh. With all due respect if you had said that in your first post, I probably would have let it be knowing that there's just too many to name. But if I could ask about a few more?

I am not a moderator , I just want to point you to the right direction. There is a special thrad on the forum, where you can aask about rejected bands, so you can ppost your questions about further bands there. I didnot know, the CBT were (again) deleted from the site during my absence, so I have aasked there about an album of theirs, which is different from their pornogrind stuff and I am currently waiting for the reply. Just make sure, please, the you have read the special rules for the thread , which are in the opening post in that thrad and that you provide links to full albums, when you want to get a band whitelisted. Here is the thread, you can also do a search ofr replies boabout certain bands, which have been already discussed there: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=64985&p=2844669#p2844669

I think if the reason for the blacklist was public for every band, the moderators would be bombarded with useless genre debates about bands who aren't even on the site. I think it's easier the way it is - user asks, moderator answers... it works.

Yes please use the rejections thread for questions about blacklisted bands.
