Ah yes. That bug was fixed a while ago. But all these albums need to be re-saved iirc. Starvynth might remember that better, he is usually holding my hands during these fixes as I don't work with the database a lot.
Thanks. Btw, if you see a heap of changes with 'lineup bug' as the reason, it's just me putting the hidden lineups back. Slowly going through my collection pages doing this
This website is killing itself. The forum is dead already. There are probably a lot of metalheads like myself who like to post but dont find any topics worthy of a post. When I find a album I like its good to discuss that with other metalheads. And there is a shitload of albums that comes out each day - metal moves fast, but we cant discuss it here. The problem is that only staff here are worthy of adding bands. And the times when users looked up to staff and carefully listened to what bands they thought was good is probaly long gone... The bands that get added here at the moment are mostly pure shit - symphonic blabla or some unsigned heavy metal from the 80s.
My guess is that forum activity would rise if all users could add bands. It would probably be some trolling and even more shit bands but at least the forum activity would rise. And mostly important we would have the best bands here. So whats your oppinion? Is it good now when some obscure staff person adds the bands or should everyone, the users, be able to add bands? Or are there any other options? Discuss.
I've not been around too whole hell of a lot lately, but if you are genuinely interested in helping out with full band profiles, which does include actually doing legitimate, journalist-style research into the band's complete history (which does include doing things like spending hours pouring over other news sites AND pouring over interviews and album reviews for every scrap of info you can find for that one single band) to insure quality over quantity, then hit me up in PM, or on Facebook, and I'll give you a shot. But if all you want to do is add bands and copy/paste whatever MA and Wikipedia have on said band(s), then don't even bother wasting my time or yours because I'll figure out what kind of person you are and drop you like bag of lead plates long before you've even realized that I've figured you out.
Good read to get some insight.
And I am not interested to do a large part of that job as I dont believe in your model of adding bands I guess you have to keep doing all that job by yourself and still dont achieve much (theres just too many bands). Tough luck
post 10 bands here what you think must be add, I will analyze them and give my professional judgment
Professional judgment. Ok, wait.... Ill see if can hit you up with 10 Draconian type of bands or any symphonic male/female gothish doom
And ffs learn to read, this isnt about me. Read: me users. This is forum is already to diversed to have some staff or you pinpointing with your professional judgement what good music is.
Ill give you one band. Listen really, really carefully to this and then give your professional opinion:

Good that you looked that up But I couldnt care less for if they are here or not as I probably would be talking to myself. If I would have been serious I would have given you something that actually could get added.

Spirit Adrift - is OK, might happen btw

First of all i'm a 12 year member of MS and I think this is the best metal site around the web, at least for me... but I tried to submit a few invisible band profiles additional infos and pictures and always found them to be rejected, without further explanation. I gave up. I really hate this aspect of MS. One takes the time and effort to make a band profile complete yet they always reject without explanation. What did I do wrong? ...Well don't bother, I just don't care anymore. Let the staff upload all that input they deem necessary to pass their "EXAM".

Probably you use metal archives or unnofical sources and 12 years in MS you should know rules.
Well I checked your logs you have only 4 edits
You should read rules what I gave you in link about sorces...

I use metalstorm for bands updates mostly, and I don't usually add bands, but when I do they are rejected. You sent me no additional info or rules link along with the message of rejection... both links take me to the band profile.

I should have said "help a band to go out of invisibility" instead of add a band, then? Or only band people can help their profiles to rise up from invisibility?

Well, I don't want to sound rude or arrogant, but I'm done with the thing concerning the suggestions of bands and their discographies. I don't think it's minimally proportional to reject suggestions only because I forgot to use square brackets about some songs in a tracklist - that might sometimes be only one click away from being done. I don't also think it's acceptable as a rejecting response to my suggestion something like "sounds like rock, look it up with someone else". I might be adding currently not so relevant bands to the site's database, but we all know irrelevant bands today can be blasting bands tomorrow. However, I'll leave that for other members to do, maybe they'll cross with the same bands I've been listening to and will get luckier about suggesting them. No hard feelings, I'm just really exhausted, both mentally and physically and don't want to be a cause of annoyance to anyone. So that's it.
