http://www.metal-archives.com/users/metalcore777 very rarely bothers to capitalize the first letter when adding links (and occasionally other things). I have just had tremendous fun updating all those links he added. :|

Check out what this guy did to Darkthrone ... Tsk tsk. Probably more incorrect lineups ...

Can you ask the idiot called oriffs

1) to stop adding the links to his distro everywhere ... he's not an official merchandise distributor, only a common distro

2) why the f*** he added links to labels in ADDITIONAL NOTES for many bands: Karne for example and also links to MALTKROSS on several bands (see his update history), I checked a few and could not find proofs that those bands are signed or released something on this label

Wow, I thought this guy was banned long time ago, he was spamming with his links back in v1. I've sent him a critical warning. Go ahead and delete his links.

Guess what link he added 2 days ago! :durr:

I don't really care about how many points I have or not. I have though noticed that I have lost something like five hundred points a few months ago and I really don't know the reason why. Could you just explain me? If you do this kind of things, it's okay but please send me a message...

Deleted all his links except links in albums' notes when he added "Tape on Maltkross Productions", it's a bit useful.

Just FYI... oriffs didn't technically break a rule by adding links to his distro. Read the rules about external links again, there's nothing that says he can't do that.

What he did do that annoys the hell out of me, though, was adding links only to his homepage and not to, say, distropage.com/bandname and the likes, which is against the rules but no one ever follows it... :(

Can you ban user "http://www.metal-archives.com/users/furiattack"

He added tons of album line-up but I'm suspicious ...

For example: Crrombid_Traxorm, I'm not familiar with this band but he added the 6 members listed for all releases, playing exactly the same instruments everywhere ...

I hope that in 2013 you'll be stricter with such idiots :ugh:

Very obvious opportunistic pointwhore. He also added a guesswork lineup to the debut demo of a local band I added today. I very much doubt he is in contact with the members or owns the CD... Sent him a stern final warning. Now to clean up all that junk data he added... I think I'll talk to the owners about limiting editing privileges for album lineups again. So sick of fucktards like that...

hey I added these lyrics one by one and foolishly was unaware that doing so was against the rules and point whoring until afterwards. I did not mean to do such things, so I am posting here to report myself in hopes of avoiding anything too terrible.

Alright mate, well, you're new here, so I doubt you were knowingly breaking the rules. Please do read them, however. We appreciate you coming out and admitting you made a blunder, though. :)

This dude, in regards of this report. Judging from his modification history, probably not his only act of wrongdoing ...

I believe I fixed that for you. This thread isn't for fuckups, but for intentional acts of users obsession over their scores (for whatever reason(s). If you make an error or notice any, click the "Report an error" button on the relevant page and describe what needs updated/corrected.

EDIT: However, you did add lyrics one by one--don't do that anymore. Wait for all of them to be ready to copy over and then add them at the same time.

These "important reminders" didn't stop Hildsvfar from adding an album in ALL CAPS.

It's a single, his first added album/track and he has like 40 modifications. The lyrics he added are formatted fine. He was probably just going with how the band wrote it and thought it was alright. Don't be overzealous, people.

:old: Azmodes! For points, http://www.metal-archives.com/users/totev also adds lyrics and lengths one by one.

EDIT: Darn it, I guessed the wrong mod. :(

Please let http://www.metal-archives.com/users/Staatsfeind know that http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Cr ... ess/303736 is a full-length album and not an EP, he keeps changing it to that.

Not point-whoring to the best of my knowledge, but could use a message: this guy, adding unspecific label links for band pages (namely Depressive Illusions), perhaps unnecessary alt. spellings (I don't ever bother with 'em, so ...), and perhaps unverified lineups ...

Only made two modifications, but one of them is a clearly errant date as a NWOBHM band with releases in the 80s wasn't formed in 1999.

I'm pretty sure this was/is an example in the rules of a separate band that is not a name change, yet someone changed it :rolleyes:
http://www.metal-archives.com/history/v ... and/id/814

He also made some unnecessarily doubled updates, adding band members to the wrong roles then changing them (I'm pretty sure the different timestamps in the logs mean this was done incorrectly the first time).

It's not a question of being a "point whore" but this user added the inappropriate and subjective comment "Ratzinger is BY FAR the absolutely WORST chilean band ever... I mean... EVER !!!" on here: http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ratzinger/99828

Hi. I'm sorry if I post here is for about point-whoring or not. But there's an user called attilaslaytanic666 modify something some Indonesian metal bands. Actually, I don't believe his modifications. I've emailed to him but the last he won't reply, and also I've sent a message on his Facebook but he won't reply. Morrigan know this problem.

And I know MA cannot lock the modifications. Not only some Indonesian metal bands must written modified by attilaslaytanic666 and changed a logo/photo to make better by using Photoshop (or not?) although he's not Indonesian, but he also vandalized. I won't all Indonesian bands' infos are full of sabotage. Here's the one: http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Aa ... ise/351452 I'm sorry for the modify war. But I must remove the lineup that was added by him first. It's impossible his eyes can see the un-clear photo and has a CD. The album was already added by me, the photo of CD originally from my friends in real life. Sorry I forgot to added the correct line-up.

And also this: http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Pa ... uth/348206 he changed into wrong cover art. It's for an upcoming T-shirt.

So, for attilaslaytanic666, please STOP modify and vandalize all Indonesian metal bands, some of members bands are my friends in real life.
