They locked the thread of me complaining about the mods, and I got a warning for making it. Lol. 
 

I'm not saying every mod is the same, but please stop with that OTH thing if someone just compares numbers

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.

 

Hello, so since one of the mods suspended me out of personal resentment and took away my right to respond, I'll just add some important elements on the matter.

 

The threads you are refering here:

is literally the single Greece chart thread where she debuted at #8. Everyone was joking in the thread about how messy their charts were, including fans. You can see it at the end of this page:

 

No one was fighting and there was absolutely no animosity or bad atmosphere around so I am not sure why you guys are acting like you prevented "OTH to create threads against her" when it's not the reality: only one non-#1 debut thread was opened and we were all having fun in there.

 

Some official charts don't release all the data at the same time: France is one of them. Usually, they announce #1 and the top 10 a few hours later. Full charts only come out on Monday, 3 days after. No one closes the BB200 thread because the entirety of it isn't revealed on Sunday. yet, the thread is created on Sunday.

As @alestevens has already said, these multiple threads are created everytime an MPG releases an album (including by me since I usually post French numbers and UK numbers so everyone can know about them as soon as possible) and no one has ever had a problem with that.

 

I just find it funny that you guys don't want to admit that your decisions didn't follow your own rules.

 

In parallel, you guys refused to close an actual trolling thread made by an OTH in a section that has specific rules about unserious/argumentative threads and you have ignored all of the complains until yesterday when you decided it should be moved in another section. Let's keep it mind that it was only opened to create a toxic atmosphere and that the only sources to it were: the absence of articles being published (which apparently is a proof of numbers not being higher than someone else's) and... Mediatraffic (who managed to have WW sales inferior to published US figures for artists like Morgan Wallen, just fyi). Yet, unlike the Greek charts, you guys didn't do anything against this "usual anti-Taylor poster" who j"umped in and began creating (a) thread" whose only purpose was to generate toxicity.

 

Yet, I'm the one who ended up being warned for "trolling" ( :deadbanana4:) and suspended for 2 days because I made a simple JOKE about an artist being forgotten in a post about MPG's numbers, especially in reference to this thread that is apparently ok with the rules. Priorities are weird.

Maybe your suspension should have been longer :suburban:

 

It's not that deep, this is a self-handled indie forum. Stuff like this happens for every single artist, but there's many mods, and all of them have different faves, including Taylor Swift. There isn't this 'anti-Taylor' agenda like some of you are claiming.

Then ignore me. It's not that deep but you are reading stuff about things that don't interest you.

what's with this recent surge of these avi-less profiles :deadbanana4: remember when dupes weren't always obvious 

It bothers me so much lol. It's not that hard to upload an avi. 

Why that user with relationship drama still has privilege to open threads? :suburban:

 

And another user still has privilege to always open thread about Taylor? :suburban:
