He got his points stripped bud didn't get banned?

Oh, I stripped his points when I rejected one of his reviews.

Ah yeah, at least he won't able to do serious vandalism until he gets dursted for good.

Sathana is back with wikipedia/lastFM links..............

release of this?
http://metal-archives.com/release.php?id=170096

The newer version was added by the owner of Wolfsvuur, and there is the report by him:
"please remove the first 2 releases:
-Under the Sign of the black Sun Split, 2004
-A Monument To War Demo, 2007

Reason: both were never released. The split never happened, it was only a plan. the demo was not released because the label died before the release.
the first official release is the 2010 demo version.

Source; the band myspace."

Had some trouble with putting up a logo for Dissipation, had to edit about 3-4 times total. Can someone delete the 1x1 px band image by the way? I accidentally put the new logo in that field so I stuck a blank image up in the meantime.

Fixed.

This is the wrong thread by the way!
You should use report function next time in such cases.

Thanks.

His obvious intentions are to troll.

Banned.

Okay, red flags are going up right now.

I tried submitting a band from my city named Armoured Assault ( http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540303161 ) back in February. Despite having a demo (pictured here, on the right: http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l145/ ... ure077.jpg ) my submission was denied, despite linking to interviews (here: http://www.uptownmag.com/2009-08-27/page4478.aspx ) which state they had a professionally done demo.

Now, this user wojty666 (link: http://metal-archives.com/userprofile.php?user=wojty666 ) submitted the band with infactual information and less information than I had and they were accepted. How did he do it? He posted their "album art" (they have none, all demos were handed out for free in the slipcases as posted in my picture) and they were NOT limited to 50 copies, as wojty666 put in the entry - the band burns a few for each show and hands them out for fee, and they haven't kept track of #'s.

This is an obvious abuse by a well-established member, as his information is both WRONG, FALSE and MISLEADING. This is cross-posted in the "why was X band accepted" discussion in the hopes that something is done.

thank you,
--N

Abuse of what? Try to make sense.
wojty usually contacts the band and asks them about demos. The info was deleted before the band was accepted. In short, stop making drama over nothing.

I'm not making drama over nothing; the demo which was submitted is NOT limited to 50 copies and does NOT have that album art (in fact, it has none). Why then was his submission accepted and mine was not? This makes no sense at all.

He provided a proof of physical release. I do not know why you submission was rejected, but it is highly disgusting from you to propose a user for banning, because he just made a valid submission.
If the demo was limited or not does not matter in that context and can be corrected through reports.

Excuse me? Where did I say he should be banned, exactly? And where did I NOT provide proof of physical existence (as opposed to his "valid" submission)?

And this was not a valid submission up until he added in fake cover art and said that it was limited to 50 copies. This is a very legitimate concern of mine, and I would imagine for MA as well. Why are you not concerned about utterly false information being posted on pages? I'm not ruling out that this couldn't be a one-off fuck-up, but what if he's just adding "legit" information to a number of very small bands to pass them off as archives worthy to point whore? That is my concern here.

I have privileges to change the band information myself if I wanted to. I brought this up here on the forums in the hopes that moderators would take this seriously. I hope that you/they are.

It was accepted because he contacted the band about it, not because of the limitations.
There is nothing to be taken seriously, he made a valid submission with minor mistaken info. That does not make him a pointwhore or any danger for the site. Do you get it now?

1) if I remember correctly, I have noticed wojty666 doing such stuff before, adding incorrect info, making up false info just to get a band accepted so he can gain points and "credibility", so it's not the first time, but the mods do nothing about it, so I guess it's working fine for him... congrats

2) user moonsorrow74 is at the moment going through bands with names starting with N, not sure what exactly is he doing

Whats is this again??
He was never making up info to have a band accepted, so please stop.
His submissions of less known bands speak for themselves.

Actually, I know the situation from the bands' side. I know what I'm talking about. And please notice, Witcher, now it's not just one member telling you the same thing.

But it's "equal and more equal", I understand.

Stop being a moron, it is not equal or more equal,. What Nyaricus said was bullshit. I do not know why the band was rejected, but wojty has all the right to submit it, because the physical demo exists, which Nyaricus does not dispute.

"Stop being a moron", when you didn't even understand what I have written. Beautiful.

Of course he has the right to submit a band. That's not what I said. Read my post again.

We may have not written too much with ourselves, but I remeber the time when you were but a newbie to this site, so it's kind of strange that you treat me like a newbie idiot every time I write something to you.

With all due respect...

There is nothing to be understood. You are making false accusation. Wojty has never intentionally submitted a band with false info just to get it accepted. It is possible that he made mistakes with some info, so what. Also he has all the credibilty he wantss - look at the Breathless (Deu) line-up.

Newbie status at this site means nothing, I speak to you this way, because you behave irrationally and well, in a rather mindless way.

Of course...

Nice to know the respect between two long-time members of the Archives is mutual. Thank you, good night.

I dispute the fact that a demo with cover art that was limited to 50 copies exists.

That demo which wojty666 submitted, despite having the same tracks, producer, line-up upon creation, etc, doesn't exist. The one I submitted, with the paper slipcase which is only limited to the number of copies AA burns for their fans, does. Do you not understand that wojty666 has played the system here?

It exists, but I've just removed the false information from the release and changed the art to what you provided.

No, because the info about limited edition has nothing to do with the bands acceptance.

user "moonsorrow74" is adding useless links to Metal Vinyl on a lot of pages

Those links don't bring anything and most of the sections (like shop or releases) don't even work

Came here to say the same.

Noticing this name again on a lot of pages with the same junk links:
Forensick music,Akousmatikoi Underground, Osmose Productions (main page links as official merch)
Wikipedia, last.fm, etc.
Not all of the pages last edited by Sathana have these though, and it seems a lot of junk links like Abyss Records main page have been there for a while and have been re-added where deleted.

Nearly every major black metal band has these, most have a mod/admin as last editor though. I'm checking most of the main page merch links and most don't even carry the bands they are listed under.

A few examples, all of them have links to Metal Vinyl, and all of the more notable bands have links to the main pages of other sites for merch, some don't even carry the band's merch:

That should be enough links to show it.

Just a thought, but wouldn't a lot of these crappy link issues be fixed by only allowing veterans to add links instead of any ol' dude?

Now she is going through many danish bands mainly death and thrash!! and i dont see no minimal changes at all!!
the problem is that she update in a way that even mods dont do as such amount in so tiny time ???
Admins must deal with her!! since she got to be veteran and she is even more agressive and her points increase in suspicious way!!
Also its good if evenfiel or another admin can contact her further of what kind of updates she is up to all this time!!

I noticed her a while ago. She definitely brings nothing to the site.
She updates just for the pleasure to do it... and we still don't know what she's actually doing besides fake and pointless links...

Minesweeper666 presumably copied/pasted a biography into the additional notes and former/past members section for Lustration (Aus).
