I mean.... you do realize MCF and I are mods yeah? Not like we just decided to go rogue and start adding slam to random bands today.

We've decided to now allow that genre descriptor for obvious cases where slam/brutal death metal would be a more accurate way of describing a band's music.

Please don't go overboard with genre reports on it, though.


well dang, i didn't see this before i started reporting. i added a good amount of reports with bands that need to be changed to "slam", but many are in the same report (i.e. reported one band to get labeled "slam" but then within that report i'd link other bands in the form of "you should change these as well") i must have "reported" well around 30 - 40 bands by that method. hope i wasn't annoying in doing so because most bands that i requested to get re-labeled are very very noted contributors to the slam death metal genre.

Only mods can modify the genre field.

Hye guard, sorry I wasn't aware of that, also regarding the method of report I did something similar and had no problem so you might be okay.

added several slightly different versions of albums. I think he tried to edit the cover art but end up adding too many versions. 0th already sent him a notice on this matter, but it happens again.

I sent him a warning and told him again to use "report" function if he can't edit himself. Hope he won't re-add duplicates.

"Stop deleting regions from the location fields of Italian bands (Ligury, Emilia-Romagna, etc). The site standard is to have those there."


Since 1861, Italy has a strict policy for what concerns duplicates: unlike nations like the U.S.A., we can't absolutely have two towns with the same name. It's a law that dates back from weeks after Italy was unified in 1861.

This means that "San Benedetto del Tronto (Ascoli Piceno), Marche" is wrong in Italian: regardless of the region, every single "comune" (town, city, whatever it is) must have a unique name.

If you search for common names like Castelnuovo ("new castle", basically, a Medieval new settlement name common in Northern Italy) you'll find that actually there is no Castelnuovo - rather, the real town names are, for instance:
- Castelnuovo Calcea
- Castelnuovo della Daunia
- Castelnuovo Rangone
- Castelnuovo Magra
- Castelnuovo di Farfa
- Castelnuovo di Garfagnana
- Castelnuovo Cilento
- Castelnuovo del Garda
- Castelnuovo di Conza

Etc.

This means that if the "site standard" is to have the Italian capitalization with all the minuscule initial letters, according to the Italian standards, on the other hand the "site standard" goes against the Italian standards (and law) by putting useless, long names such as "Salvaterra di Casalgrande (Reggio nell'Emilia), Emilia-Romagna" since "Casalgrande" is the only acceptable name for the Italian law.

If you write on an official document a name of a fraction like Salvaterra you'll be asked to re-write everything. You'll just need to write "Casalgrande" or, at most, "Casalgrande (RE)". There is only a town with that name in the whole nation, regardless of the useless region specification.

We use the same standard across all entries, regardless of country. It is useful to have the regions listed.

Is there any chance of changing up terminology on this thread? The word whore is as much of an insult sex workers as the n word is to black people. It's synonymous with "would do anything for money/credit/etc", implying there's nothing worse than being a sex worker.

I'm not suggesting that this relate to the archive itself, obviously, as this is an encyclopedia that is meant to reflect artwork and the people that make it, and if they're using the word, it should be reflected there. But in terms of how we communicate on this forum, it's not helpful. Plenty of sex workers use this site.

The term point hoarder is a much better alternative.

Verd, it's not just about clarifying when there is more than one place with a certain name. Regions can also help give a better general idea of the location. I see no reason to change that for Italian bands.

I'm curious as to why Euthanasiast is adding the line "The band stands against racism." to a whole bunch of band bios. Seems incredibly unnecessary.

Sent him a message. Don't get why he felt they were needed, when I've literally never seen any of the bands he added that note to be called something even close to racist...

Hey.
I don't know where from TheGrimWombat did take lineup for the band Arturica that I've submitted but it's not correct.
Here is a screenshot of my chat with a band.
And I want to remind that such behavior is punishable according to the site rules.

I had gone through old posts from the facebook, if I recall correctly. If it was erroneous, it certainly wasn't on purpose. If you want to take the couple points I got from it, that's irrelevant to me. I was attempting to help.

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... permPage=1

(Erick is the guy tagged, by the face, as the guy on the bass...and then if you look at his other photos, Zuriel is clearly the guy behind the drum kit in that photo, by the way...with the band's name watermarked on it, perhaps an old incarnation of the band)

Your aggressive attitude is a bit peculiar, though. Considering that some of the info that you submitted the band with was incorrect (country, specifically).

I've said it before, but we're not gonna strip points from people for genuinely trying to help. Where we do strip points it's as a result of the user doing an activity that we've repeatedly told them not to do, thus disobedience to us, or where it's clear the user is trying to fast track a "level up." As you can imagine, then, point-whores more often than not tend to be 'wet behind the ears' or are serial offenders. In other words, a user that has tens of thousands of points and has a solid track record as a valuable contributor is not a point-whore.

Guys, how can you make a conclusion of my aggression if I didn't use emoticons in my previous message and what's more you haven't seen my face?!
It's really peculiar because I surely haven't said a word about a couple of points, I just quoted your own rules - just warning, maybe.

and - Derigin - I haven't said a word about point whoring. This thread is called "Point whores, vandals and other wrongdoers". :-P

ok, I'll try my best to get info from the band by the weekend.

No, you just implied it by bringing up the rules, etc. Like I said, you were mistaken in the same submission, I was alluding that even experienced contributors make mistakes, even you. By alluding that punishment is the action for such things, you sound kind of aggressive, yes.

Adding guessed lineups without an official source is. Making errors is impossible to avoid and we can't clamp down on them - we can only use caution as much as possible. That sentence shows you were assuming that TGW added the lineup with malicious intentions... otherwise, why would you feel the need to post such a reminder?

He also added "X supports the Russian annexation of the Crimea." and the Mirotvorets website link (Ukrainian website that purports to reveal personal information of people who are considered to be "enemies of Ukraine") to every current member of the Russian band "Мастер". Don't think it is a meaningful information for metal-archives and it looks more like a smearing attempt.

I think it's more that, unless the version is somehow different, you're not really describing a different version but just a different place to buy it. If it was a physical release, it would be like describing the store you got it from, or even the distro (official or not) where the album is available for purchase. At that point it's less about the version, and just more about where people can find it, which isn't the purpose of the version description field. Imagine if we had versions with descriptions like "Sold at Gig", "DDR", "Walmart", "Your Corner Record Shop." Unless the version itself is somehow innately different - art, tracklist, etc. - then it's best to avoid this type of breakdown for digital releases, too.

That said, including which digital distros make the album available is something that could arguably fit within the additional notes of an album version.
