....i think i have an idea.

i know nu metal tabs dont get put onto the tabs page anyway, but they are still insanely annoying, as much so as spam threads.

to stop this, nomad (or one of the other mods) could make a list of bands in which to not be posted, with the threat of being banned from the website if they do post a band.

this list could be detailed, or just the general KoЯn, SOAD etc etc etc.

but then i dont know how much clearer the mods can make "no nu-metal" any clearer. the reason for making this thread is i click on nu-metal tabs and i notice most of the munchkin madness people have 0 posts.

of course, everyone could just tell me to fuck off....

dont tell me to fuck off.

A list wouldn't be necessary, I think the mods have a firm grasp on the concept of "nu-metal". I don't think it can be made much clearer that they aren't accepted here, they don't get archived. The repeat offenders could be banned easily enough, though.

Yeah, good idea... I think I will work something out, this should at least reduce the amount of submitted numetal tabs.

Maybe something could be changed in the tab submission process? If we make a list, like what andrewc suggested - and you upload it to the server. Somehow make the form read from the text file on the server.. if the band submitted matches a keyword in the txt doc, it could render the tab invalid and not be posted? I dunno, it might be a little tricky to code. But by the looks of things, you have the knowledge. :P

Yep, that's what I'm going to do. The submission form will compare on the first step the entered band name against the black-list of numetal bands from the database. If the name matches, the system won't proceed to the next step but issue a warning message.

Ahh. Great minds think alike.

ah well, glad you guys liked my idea and good luck with working something out.

Mysongbook.com demands that any tab of an artist not allready in the database is not accepted until the artist is checked out by a mod. Do you do that here?

FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every single tab is checked - and only accepted based on these rules.

Thank the good Lord Satan! To say that all the nu-metal tabs cluttering up the tab posting forum is a little irksome is a major understatement. Thankfully, it seems that it will be a thing of the past in the near future.

I dont think it would help really, it would just ban people, but they would still get posted and we would (mostly the mods) have to deal with it.

Nice choice of words mate

Have the site automaticaly ban anyone who trys to enter a tab from the nu metal bands list and have a pop up that says: Fuck off you nu metal fag, you are not wanted here, go to some other site to post your little nu-metal band's tab.

Stupid idea.

They wouldn't get posted - that's just it. The submission form won't proceed to the next step.

So are you gonna compile a gigantic list of non acceptable bands?? Seems like a lot of work... but have fun!!

__________________

I enjoy doing shit like that!

I like to make sure everything is in a neat order and shit, like my WMP, itys like an encyclopedia/dictionary thing.

But anyway yeah, seems like a good eye-dear to mear... uh, me.

Maybe we could all help compile one. Yes?

Yeah, start an official thread or something? like ONLY for this, no chit chat unless its about "oh, im not so sure thast should be there, thier heavy IMO" type stuff

also, make sure that the list is availible in the rules section

e.g. No Nu-metal (see THESE examples) ... etc.

I'm not sure how Nomad wants to go about this, maybe if/when he approves of the idea, someone could start the thread. I'm not an expert on nu-metal.. only the basics (haven't heard enough of it). But I can check out each and every band mentioned if that helps.

theoretically, if it was just a text file that was being checked for names it can be updated as more nu-metal comes to light

I will add just a few popular bands to the list, and will update it once there's a numetal tab posted in the pending tabs.

The idea is not to reject all numetal tabs automatically but to minimize their number.

before i forget
while your changing the rules/FAQ, you should get rid of the rule that says it is ok to post metallica. otherwise lil kidlets are gonna post metallica tabs.

doesnt it say, DON'T post metalica because he doesnt want to be sued?

__________________

sorry my bad. i was reading the "step 0" when i posted my brujeria tab as opposed to the FAQ.

Just letting you all know that the submission form now has the band filter.

These bands will be rejected automagically:
Metallica
System of a Down
SOAD
KoЯn
Korn
Kittie
Slipknot
Mudvayne
Murderdolls
Deftones
Linkin Park
Godsmack
Limp Bizkit

coal chamber as well

as for the backwards R
MAGIC

nah, go to a translation site for English to Russian, Ukrainian etc and translate the letter I.

is this list a permenant thing, or can you add to it if people insist on posting other nu-metal bands?

__________________

i like the Deftones... agreed, they shouldnt be on here, but they're a good band IMO

Also, why post Korn twice?

__________________

It's not permanent, I will add other bands the moment they appear in Pending Tabs forum.

Because for a computer "KoRn" is not the same name as "KoЯn".

__________________

also add Alien Ant Farm and Nickelback

__________________

They're considered metal by anyone's standards? I can't even imagine someone adding one of of those bands (but I don't check that one forum, so I wouldn't know).

__________________

Whether they are metal or not, the are NU metal, we dont want that shit.

I didn't even know they were nu-metal. I consider them alternative pop-rock.

__________________

nu metal borderlines pop rock alot of the time. thats what nu metal is, like korn and linkin park. heaps of bands kan fall under the genre

ur just pissed because Korn is the greatest band ever.....

he migh thave been jopking about alien ant farm and nicklback...they are just pop-punk and pop-rock.

__________________

NICKLEBACK IS NOT POP-ROCK THEY ARE BRUTAL METAL \m/!!!!

Thier on ROADRUNNER RECORDS!!!11 THE MOST BRUTAL METAL RECORD LABEL EVAR!!!!!

__________________

hahaha... Road Runner records has Obituary though.. and SLIPKNOT!!

__________________

cannibal actually makes a good point there, roadrunner has had some great acts like fear factory, brujeria, deicide, suffocation to name a few, it is just in recent years they have gotten horrendous with the bad numetal acts we all know so well

french black metal band anorexia nervosa has an anti-ross-robinson campaign, he is the one responsible for RR records demise

telling someone they cant post a band is like telling someone they cant express them selves shame on u andrewc

this is METALtabs.com If they want to post tabs that aren't metal, they can do it on another site.

there are 10,000,000 other tabsites that have licksnot, marilyn monroe, stinkin park etc tabs, why post them here?

i have no problem with others expressing themselves, as long as they dont bleat it everywhere, oh look at me im so HaRdCoRe cos i dig fags in boiler suits and masks throwing rubbish bins at each other on stage, or bands that sing "oh im abused my daddy touches me wah wah wah "

and HERE WE FUCKING GO, i have to explain myself to some tosser AGAIN because he cant hack the fact i dont like his sad little nu-metal band. im sorry if that sounded harsh but i am just absolutely fed up with it.

it is explained in the rules that nu-metal is not within nomads tastes so he will not have these bands tablatures. i am not trying to suck up to him, the fact is, these tabs annoy the hell out of me too so im trying to help cut down on tabs that wont be submitted anyway.

i hope i make myself clear.

Nu-metal is not a subject you will ever make clear.

What IS so bad about Nu metal? Yes some of the genre's bands suck to an extent, SOAD and Evan Essence and some of Korn and stuff, but there are some great bands that come out of it, Slipknot for instance.

But what do I know? I'm a nu metal bastard. Heh.

Personally, the nu metal tabs are either too easy, or the people writing them suck. I like most of the more "Darker" metal tabs (This including Black and Death.)

Look. Nu-metal doesn't interest nomad. Which in turn means he does not want nu-metal tabs on his site.

Ok that's cool. As I said, Nu metal tabs suck most of the time.

If somebody can't tab a nu-metal song with fair accuracy, then they really have no business tabbing shit at all. Seriously, you'd have to be the worst tabber in the world to not be able to tab down-tuned power chords. Maybe it's all the gay effects they throw in that throw people off. You'd still be pathetic to fuck it up.

E|--011-011-111-000-000-111-011-011--|

Hey, I'll bet that's half of a Coal Chamber or Linkin Park song right there. Throw in some bar chords, some power chords and generic effects, tune down to B, I'll bet you'd have a whole album.

hear, hear.
i think this thread can probably be closed now, my idea was taken into account and so we remove nu-metal tabs.
when you plant the seeds, you throw away the envelope so to speak.
so we no longer have a need for this thread. cheers for all the support

GOD HATH SPOKEN! CLOSE THE THREAD! DO IT!
