The banners are always related to a current release, it's not just random banners.

October 14, 2025Oct 14 comment_28400943 11 hours ago, Rian said: I usually take mod bias complaints with a grain of salt, but the idea that we're anti–Taylor Swift really isn't serious. What actually happened is pretty simple. We started getting reports about chart spam after one user made a bunch of Taylor-related chart threads all at once, including for countries that don't normally have any, like Lithuania. Not long after, some of the usual anti-Taylor posters jumped in and began creating threads for every country where she didn't hit number one. It was getting out of hand, so we merged the threads to keep the section from turning into clutter. Mods do understand that certain countries deserve their own recurring chart threads. France, for example, probably should have one, the same way the US and UK do, since those threads usually cover the full charts and broader discussion. The Taylor-specific threads from smaller markets didn't even include the complete charts and were mostly the same few people repeating the same points. Merging them made sense for readability and organization. We're also talking about creating a clearer structure, maybe with separate threads for major markets like the top 10 IFPI countries, and a single "Global Charts" thread for smaller ones. So i'm supposed to believe there isn't any bias going on when we can't discuss a record-breaking opening in Germany in its own thread while The Dead Dance debuting at #12 does? We can't discuss a record breaking start in New Zealand but we can discuss Alien Superstar going gold in New Zealand after one year We can discuss the French charts when Sabrina debuts with 15K but when Taylor debuts with 60K+ the thread needs to be merged Things suddenly seem to be a problem when it's Taylor, because perhaps it needs to be pointed out again, absolutely none of the threads merged were against the rules that YOU wrote. And as you yourself mentioned, even major markets that are discussed for every single major release are being merged into the Taylor thread this time. That being said i hope the rules get rewritten to fit whatever narrative we're waking up with today and we keep the exact same energy for everyone going forward Link to comment https://atrl.net/forums/topic/498676-the-hq-thread-2025/page/320/#findComment-28400943 Share this post
