Been a few months, but this kid: the usual lengths/lyrics one-by-one.

fucked up embers of hatred page (http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Emb ... 3540358405)

- added their country to the location field
- added wrong formation date
- added demo with incomplete/incorrect tracklist

Already responded to this once, so I'll make it quick:

- added their country to the location field -------- Yes, I screwed up. One of my very first edits and I messed it up. Go figure.
- added wrong formation date ------------------- No, unless you have better info than I, that comes from their Myspace page.
- added demo with incomplete/incorrect tracklist - No, see above.

The joined Myspace date isn't very meaningful to us and should not be taken as the date they formed.

Also, taking the tracks from the Myspace player and adding them as the demo is not cool/acceptable either. That may very well be the tracklisting, but nothing is there to make that claim.

And finally, that's the wrong cover art. See here: http://www.ebay.de/itm/370734824269?nma ... _cvip=true

Just be more careful.

I'll be more careful in the future. I did do a lengthy search at the time and wasn't able to come up with the Ebay listing, so kudos to you for that.

buenas noches, mein froinds.

it's me, point whore. again. after filling in all fields for http://www.metal-archives.com/labels/Fyb/14015 twice and losing all to a blank screen, I re-did them one-by-one (still with a few blank screens in between). please deduct additional points from me whore bag.
and add the label's email, if you will, I keep getting blank screens for that.

thanks and apologies for the blatant point whoring.

Don't worry about it.

Something's wrong with the e-mail field on that label ... Gives me an error page.

EDIT: Oops, didn't notice you had pointed that out ...

Catoblepas adds random album line-ups for some newly added bands

Temple of Dagon: 5 members on photo, 4 in the current line-up (as listed on FB), he added the 4 members in the album, maybe members were different when the album was released so no proofs at all

Warned.

This user needs a reminder about the site's standards/policy on copy/pasting bios in every available spot.

HeavyMetalAmerica adding fake / odd lyrical themes for newly added bands. People trying to guess lyrical themes based on 2-3 songs titles are irritating

Surra: Violence, Society, Oppression, Anti-Governmen/Authority

Arise in Chaos: Violence, Chaos, Knowledge (= Process of Knowing )

This user added the upcoming Summoning album but the release date isn't officially announced yet. http://www.metalstorm.net/events/news_c ... s_id=19183

This user messed with the lineup here, resulting in the vocalist being credited with "vocals" under "misc staff". The information was originally correct, as it was added by a band member, who requested that I fix it.

All dealt with.


That's one of CK's accounts, I think.

How many accounts does he even have? And why more than one? ._. Why'd he leave the original one in the first place?

I updated the lyrics themes to several bands with a "N/A" lyricals themes. They were all just removed and I recieved a message saying that I was point whoring. I read/translated all available lyrics and determined themes from there. The bands were:

Newstead http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Newsted/3540357928

Surra http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Surra/3540358476

Barbie on Deathtrip http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Ba ... rip/367141

What happend? Also, if this is the wrong forum please let me know where to go, thanks a lot.

Arise in Chaos doesn't have any added lyrics. I didn't check any of the others.

That actually wasn't his fault: he merged two duplicate artists, one of which must've had vocals added to the wrong tab...

Mistakes can happen, dude. This thread isn't for reporting one-off blunders.

I've encountered this shit twice before. Apparently another user has added the upcoming APHND album, the artwork of which hasn't been released yet.

Album already appears to have been deleted, mate.


Taken care of.

Brand new user - has added two future albums with no track list. Can someone send him a note about the rules?

http://www.metal-archives.com/users/Deathbeforecreation

Done.

The user raul reina added some albums that's not exact, an orphan label and bad capitalized titles. Can the moderator send him a message? http://www.metal-archives.com/users/rau ... on_history

http://www.metal-archives.com/users/skambug

Adding non metal artists.

Mallcore (Korn) artists, nonetheless ...

To a draft for Korn. Sent him a warning telling him not to bother wasting his time and effort...

Along with the obligatory reminder that Korn aren't metal, never were, and will never be on this site. Which is, you know, common logic...

In either case, what he's doing isn't specifically point-whoring (adding new artists to a draft doesn't increase your points), and chances are they'll be orphaned sooner or later anyway, so d'worry about it...

4/1/09 - Never forget!

FTFY.

I'm American dammit! Making sense is for pussies!

This user added some invalid data (bad additional notes + invalid release) then reported typos and the release being invalid in five separate reports. Could use a reminder on what is/isn't valid data.

Can someone chat with this user?

http://www.metal-archives.com/users/Burznazg%20Vikernes

From looking at his updates it seems he's added 7 or 8 albums without a full track list or maybe a good release date. He's got two out there right now that he just added that are labeled VHS and contain one track each. I think at least most of his bad albums have been deleted already but he's making a mess of things. It seems

A long time ago, but this user added some stupid artist pages, also mentioned in this report.

Can you ban this guy

http://www.metal-archives.com/users/Von_List

Has been adding fake lyrical themes to many newly added bands, based on what, I have no idea

Also added tons of dates, I did not check them all but I'd not trust him

Anyone courageous enough to check all his updates (Obscurum? )

Already warned him.

"Courageous", . I have absolutely no idea about any of the dates (for all we know they could be correct), but I removed damn-near all of the lyrical themes as most(?) were either based upon track titles or on the "usual" themes associated with a particular genre (blasphemy, anti-Christianity for black metal, social issues for thrash/-core, etc.). Rarely did any of the bands have known/available lyrics and even then, some only had them for a couple tracks, so ... Now, it's possible some of the themes were indeed correct, but when there's that many consecutive updates, it's hard to believe the guy.

I checked the last 9 bands that he added dates to and found a bio on 8 of them and all the starting dates were correct - so that part may really not be an issue.

I was more referring to split dates

http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Bestial_War/18271
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Inf ... 3540303579

For example. To be honest I did not search a lot but how can he be sure? He seems to have added some split dates the same year or the year after the last release by the band

Infantricide active for 19 years in a row? I'd say the split 2007 is more a split compiling early rehearsals

http://www.myspace.com/masturbatorband/photos/12252465 (Infantricide tape 1995)

A few more added Gorgoroth lyrics ... Does anyone know if the band has ever released any of them officially? You can tell with certainty the absolute guesswork ones (note the unsure-if-correct-word usage of the parentheses and question mark):

Tsk tsk.
