Dennis Hall41 said:So why don't we just lock everything down except those five specific threads and shove all the prog-rock, black metal (and basically every other genre), comparisons of Pitchfork's (or I don't know, Christgau's) lists against ours, fascists, minors, and even those Bruce Springsteen style threads—which mostly just end up being lists of favorite songs or albums—into those same five threads?
I mean, what else is a thread about a band or singer supposed to be if it isn't listing tracks or albums, trying to rate them, and throwing in some emojis? I get that there are rules, but there are nuances too.
And yeah, those "nuances" are entirely up to the mods. They decided the thread was turning into just another mindless chatroom and shut it down. If you hate that kind of attitude, maybe just don't post in that subforum. Problem solved. What am I even supposed to say?
The Music subforum actually has a few different chat threads—they're basically just for talking about stuff that doesn't even have to be about music. They are: Latest NP (NP = Now Playing) - this is where everyone posts what they're listening to right now, and it's pretty much our main hangout. You can talk about whatever. Pitchfork vs Garbage - a thread for everything else. It's the "Now Playing" spot for prog rockers, extremists, and teenagers. Personal Top Lists - a place to dump all your rankings, whether they're about music or just random life stuff. Personal Ratings - a thread for rating anything and everything, musical or otherwise. Dreams - a place to recount dreams, usually the ones where other people from the Music forum show up.
Music Subforum Rules - read this! said:Certain types of threads have been "chewed over" way too many times in the Music subforum. Don't start them again, or they'll be closed or deleted regardless of how well you write them.
That includes: - debates on how people can listen to certain stuff (country music, Justin Timberlake, Rolling Stones...) - all-time top lists for any genre (best/favorite bands, songs, albums, guitarists...) - random lists of everything (what song wakes you up, what song is playing on your phone...)
And regarding that pseudo-Cockney nonsense, I guess I don't see why he didn't get banned.
while on the other hand there's a thread that should be dedicated to one specific genre, but it's just turned into mindless chatter (which isn't even in the title), and nobody is punishing it

And now that people who were clueless about why 503 was an issue finally understand the IP-at situation, they're probably going to push even harder.😁 Thanks a ton for reminding them.☕
Come on, don't be stupid. How do you think we're going to get paid if this forum isn't even working? 🤷
Just ask anyone on here, but honestly, there shouldn't be any issues with the erythrocytes. Or so I think. And yeah, erythrocytes and proteins aren't even the same thing. Anyway, check out my stew recipe.
