why the **** do we get warning points for not knowing who an artist is? my God ppl are so insensitive. What if we geneuinely didnt know who they were

The problem isn't that you don't know the artist, the problem is that posting that adds nothing to the thread. if you don't know an artist, use google. don't post it.

Appealing for two WP reversals.

Basically someone has been reporting almost everyone's posts in the Kesha base (for no apparent reason).

First post:
http://atrl.net/?p=20325399

This is not flamebait. It's the Kesha base, I'm pretty sure no one's going to take much legitimate offence to a Carly Rae flop joke when Kesha's not exactly in the best position either. And it was obviously a joke, since the page over Doogle and I were discussing how good Carly's album actually is.

Also this one,
http://atrl.net/?p=20325940

Not sure which part was being reported as both are equally non-Flamebait. If it was the first part, that's just silly. Since when is calling a song tacky WP-worthy? I didn't see the WPs flying when everyone was calling the Dark Horse MV tacky or Roar a tacky rip off of Brave?

If it's the second part then how is jokingly calling someone extra for posting in an array of colors tacky? It is literally extra work than everyone else. Like it's not even a lie.

A definition of flamebait I found from a simple Google search:


Nothing of what I posted falls under this. I was not intending to provoke anyone, and I wasn't fishing for an arguement. Everyone involved knew that it was all in fun. I don't see why some non-involved, potentially non-English (well) speaker who may not understand these innocent social banters should achieve success in seeing their reports fulfilled. In fact, I think that fits the description of Flamebait that I posted a lot better, reporting just for the satisfaction of seeing them warned, and wanting a reaction from it such as this one. Only instead of posting it in the Base, I'm posting it here.

I think that for the most part the Mods do a good job of keeping the things on the site fair, but I think that this is just a little too far, and is more appealing to the trigger-happy reporter than actually being fair to the members on the site. I also know someone else who was warned and only received Reminders. I'm not sure why they weren't warned and I was when we were saying literally the same things.

Those two posts would have been warned in any other thread, so why would it be different in Kesha's base? We are not required to follow every (if any) conversation/discussion and so it's not our fault if we're not aware that you were merely joking around. We judge on the posts that are reported, and throwing comments like "come and go quicker than Carly Rae Jepsen's career" or " Katy-size tackyness" are not only off topic, but the definition of flamebait (as it can provoke angry responses from the fans of those artists). One of the other posts that you brought up got a reminder because there wasn't any sign of flamebait in it. That member was specifically told to stay on topic. Though "Carly >>>>>>>>> Kesha" should have been warned accordingly, so that was indeed a mistake on my part.

Thanks to whoever reversed my WPs

[Reader]

How do you quote a post while including its status in terms of 'Already Reported/Warning Received' etc? Hope this makes sense.

Why would you want to know when those can be considered as off-topic posts?

Oh really? I don't think I've seen those warned much.

But thanks, I guess...

Could GaSkrillex be banned from the itunes thread please. I'm tired by his hourly updates on G.U.Y's chart postition, followed by comments about how Katy could never

[ClashAndBurn]

GaSkrillex's trolling is borderline Opacho level.

[SilencePlease]

As a Katy stan I find Retro is an objective mod, although idk what posts/threads he warns or not since I don't have access to that info lol. People shouldn't judge without receipts tbh.

What we can positively judge is that he is one of the mods who most answers the questions in this thread. He's one of the most actives and tries to be friendly to unknown ATRLers.

That being said, we need a katycat as a mod

Can somebody clean up the iTunes thread? So many abrasive, disruptive, off-topic and flamebait posts.

Unless it's used in the context of educating why blackface isn't okay, I can't possibly see how the post won't be warned. Blackface in general is just NOT okay.

What?! I never said anything like that ! You are clearly lying just to get me banned.

Mods, can you do something about gabe's constant harassment?

He just posted on my wall "tick tock" implying I'll be banned soon. He did that in the past and Ace of Reject if I remember correctly wrote on his wall to stop harassing me. He also said the same thing in a post in the iTunes thread.

Did you add him to your ignore list and sent in a HELP request so we can further look into it? Action will be taken, we just need you to submit official requests in so the staff can take a closer look into the situation.

Regarding the iTunes thread THIS is exactly what I am talking about:
