Thank you for that useful input. Are you going to make a habit of this, or are you going to take it to 4chan next time?

If a user adds the lyrics for 4 songs in five minutes (saving each lyric a little over a minute after the previous one), shall we consider he is adding lyrics one by one and/or point-whoring?

It should, since adding lyrics one-by-one, regardless of the time in-between, is point-whoring.

Did you see anyone do it?

Yes, Tlacaxipehualiztli did it on Agent Steel's "Live at Dynamo" DVD on March. I noticed it a few minutes ago, while fixing a few song lengths.

He's been doing to others. Send him a warning, then.

Wouldn't that be mini-modding?

I don't think he meant for you to send him a warning.

Well, the mods can't catch every user that's suspected of point-whoring. What the guy's doing is clearly against the rules of MA, so that should be brought up.

But I don't know if a non-mod demanding for a warning sent is really mini-modding. Maybe someone could clarify.




Like I can do that.

Misunderstanding alert.

Anyways, since I've already mentioned this here, and you've been kind enough to corroborate it, a mod would warn him later (my mod of choice would be Evenfiel, since that's the one mod that I fear the most).

Whaaaat? Evenfiel is cool!

Anyways, I assume that when reporting people on this page, some action is always taken by the moderators if that person's truly point-whoring/doing the wrong thing, so I don't think asking for a user to be warned is mini-modding, since it's on the same level as asking for a band to be un-blacklisted based on physical release/metalness. It's the mod that has to take action, after all.

I didn't say that he is not cool; I said he's the one I fear the most.

Warning sent, people. Y'can all relax now.

I didn't know that I was capable of inspiring fear.

Well, you are, sir.

You should be. All us mods are on the left hand path and hold powers unimaginable to you!

Evenfiel is in fact quite cuddly. It's the Gaunt you should fear.

Desesperanza is an idiot. Just found an Agathocles release in which he added (on July, 2011) a lineup completely different to the one on the additional notes. I think I remember reading he was banned, right?

EDIT: As I was adding what was mentioned on the additional notes, it turns out that the guys mentioned as guitarist and bassist are listed as bassist and drummer, respectively, on the lineup. I'll start looking for info.

EDIT 2: Maaaaaan, those are really too many releases! I've been updating the ones that have the lineup mentioned on their site, but it's gonna take more than I thought.

He was banned alright, but now he has two points again. I think that might be due to a bug with giving points for reports. He hasn't modified anything since his ban, though. I can't durst users, but I'm sure someone who can will do it soon enough.

Dursted again.

Can you get rid off this fu**er called Celticmoon

He added fake line-ups for Ithilien releases! at least the 1st EP.

If you check the page in V1, Mutch was the drummer when the page was created so it's at least him who played on the EP, NOT Thomas

Same for Thibault

I remember adding those members end 2011 so they both joined between august and december 2011

http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/It ... len/299437

Check also the EP, he added ALL the members in the line-up with the note "Many Recordings with all members of Ithillien"

Its PURE VANDALISM and he should be kicked out of here ...

easy to get 1660 points by adding tons of shits

Warning sent.

Sorry to tell you but HAVE BALLS and ban him for good... I think its not the 1st time he's mentioned here, he surely added tons of shit on other pages and, like others, he will surely ignore your warning and keep adding shits again and again.

For such cases (its VANDALISM here, adding fake info, not pure stupidity), there should not even be a single warning, directly capital punishment

Warnings should be for smaller acts like adding track lengths one by one or lyrics or stupid little mistakes but not for vandalism "Adding incorrect line-ups is a bannable offense" is written in bold.

Well now its your problem if you want to keep eyes closed for such things but since V2 is here such acts of adding tons of album line-ups has multiplied and soon M-A will have more wrong info than correct...

I can't ban users, mate. I'll bring this to the attention of somebody who can, though.

sorry if I was a bit excited, its not against you, you're doing a good job, its just frustrating to see such idiots adding tons of shit just to get extra points whereas other serious people do their best to make M-A as reliable as possible

Gone ahead and banned Celticmoon.

I don't know if this brings points but why the hell is aaauuuuu (again..) changing the names of the links???

Dust and Darkness@MySpace => MySpace
Dust and Darkness@Facebook=>Facebook

He's doing what users are encouraged to be doing; trimming extraneous prefixes from link names if they don't offer anything the reader hasn't already figured out.

"Official MySpace"...? Yeah, that's already listed under a tab named "Official".
"Dust and Darkness @ MySpace"...? Well, probably isn't gonna be ANOTHER band's MySpace...

What about the band's official site? I've been listing it as "Official Site" for some time now, but being that it is under the "official" tab, that would seem redundant. I think you have changed some links to "Official Site" also. What should we do about that?

There's no official policy on link naming conventions yet. Go with the practice you feel that is best, and I'll let aaauuuuu know to stop that activity and to work on something more productive and useful (eg. we have 1500 reports that could use some help!).

On Vampyric Blood page, HORNSandHOOVES removed the info about line-up ...

The only member is Lord of Shadow (and said to be Molestor Kadotus), if LoS is not Molestor Kadotus, then he should at least re-enrer Lord of Shadow - Everything instead of deleting everything ...

I honestly think "Home Page" would work better, but I just can't shake my habit of naming it "Official Site".

Derigin's right though, if anybody feels like pitching in, there's always the report queue that needs dire attention. Links can wait!

Urrgh! Lyrics & Lengths one by one.

Warned.

bloodbathizer added track lengths 1 by 1 on Bursthead page

I warned bloodbathizer

Antioch started adding links to Lost Soul Domain on all bands starting with A

This links are useless and don"t bring new information about bands

Can you ask elfstone321 not to be the 2nd DreadlockMocio?

http://www.metal-archives.com/artists/S ... m|a/429764 this photo sucks and it's not the 1st time I need to change some pics he added, there are always many better photos to be found if you spend more than 10 seconds looking for one...

Facebook for example ...

Well, in the case of Stəm|a ("Stemla"?), I couldn't find Facebook links for the band... so I'll let this one pass (since that appears to be the only picture).

What other cases have have there been of him doing this?

(Antioch isn't breaking any rules, since Zenial.nl doesn't exactly mirror MA's exact content, but I'll let him know to only add the link if there's something on the page that isn't already on the band's MA page...)
