user Sathana has 465 points and updates a lot of DM bands in a row but I don't see any changes at all

Vader
Corpsegrinder (USA)
Deicide
Rigor Mortis
Deicide
Aborted
Autopsy

Please do something against her

I think she is adding fan site links and writting some useless album notes.

Another user who I have noticed as the last modifier of pages with lots of junk links (only one example on the past 10, but I have seen the name along with tons of links to main pages of distros, random myspace links, etc.)
http://metal-archives.com/userprofile.php?user=cweed
http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=24781

Another band with a ton of these links: http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=92389

Don't forget that when it is night in Europe, a lot of MA users are sleeping. Consequently, there are less 'active' members and it is not so difficult to be the only one making major updates.

Also, cweed got more than 3000 points, i don't think his updates are done just in order to get more points... he probably judged something deserved to be added/removed....

Just my opinion

I believe mods/admins have the means by which to check - I noticed a lot of different users last editing a lot of pages with 3-20 junk links in the past few days, and that is one that came up more than a few times, so it is worth checking.

Najakelia is right, i dont believe cweed would do such lame updates or add useless links just to increase his rank, i think those links were there previously, u cant know!!
About user sathana, i saw her "if she is truly a female" updating tons of bands lately, but actually that was several weeks ago, i couldnt find any evidence to report her here, i guess she is not that big deal, since she dont sabotage or troll on the pages.

Guys, Guys both of you are right..!
When i stay online i find him often here and I checked back after he made some updates..!!
Whatever he did is not offensive to me..!

But than again..it's upto the mods to decide that..isn't it?

Unless there's something that the admins have, there doesn't seem to be any means to check; whoever last updated the page would be the best guess (unless it was a mod/admin or trusted user). Mods can check who submitted albums though, and, as far as I can tell, audit trails are a confirmed feature for V2 when that's released.

Well, it basically means the entire history of edits to a band can be seen ([s]whether this will be available to mods only or all users, I don't know[/s] EDIT: received word from ksevile that it will be available to all users; it's mentioned somewhere in the V2 thread), so we can better pinpoint who vandalized a page/added useless info/etc.; essentially seeing what point whores are doing to band/album pages.

It's kind of like the edit history tab of Wikipedia articles, essentially.

Or to put it more bluntly, no one knows. So don't ask about the release date. If you want to know more about the changes in V2, read this thread:

User deathcore67 added a link to Facebook.com on ...'s page and labeled it as "rock n roll".

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540257897

Hands down the most retarded case of pointwhoring I've seen yet.

Haha thanks for sticking up for me everyone! Yeah, I'm definitely against adding a bunch of useless links to band pages...

In fact, a lot of the time when I was the last person to modify a page it's probably because I've TAKEN OUT a broken link or two...I don't really remove links that work just because I feel it's up to the mods to deem if a working link is worthy of removal or not based on relevance, but if some link to a random fan site or merch site is broken I remove it.

This dude http://www.metal-archives.com/userprofi ... er=rico666
has vandalized the Bersimbah Darah page adding "REALITY OF LIFE SUCKS" as lyrical themes and look at what he added in additional notes :
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540297142
I think he is member of the band!

That's not really point whoring-related. I guess the guy didn't have a clue about how to properly add what he wanted.

You can delete the link urself!! no sense to report if some invalid link are in the pages.
Also if the band page dosent got a full load of links it is prefered to dont delete Lastfm links.

for 1389 she probably added the split release but im not so sure.
I dont think she is doing something suspicious!! also mostly she update the bands that comes from her area (yogoslavian bands), probably she got some decent knowledge.
But always keep an eye! already one admin have taken off some points from her.
