Not necessary at all. I am not sure if we have an official policy on it, I'll have to check... in almost any case there is nothing wrong with the symbol @ and it seems to be the more commonly used on the site.

Gustavo Capricornus loves changing "@" into "|" in those BandCamp links; besides, seems he often adds ".../music" to BandCamp links as well; don't think this is point-whoring as he is a decent contributor, but those modifications seem totally unnecessary from my perspective, and actually irritate from time to time :)


By adding ".../music" to the Bandcamp links it actually links to every release they have on Bandcamp. Without it, it links to one individual album.
See links below on what I mean:

https://cuffmusic.bandcamp.com/music
https://cuffmusic.bandcamp.com/

The band/label can chose whether to have the index page be an album page or the discography page. So sometimes band.bandcamp.com and /music is the same page.

Okay so I think there's something suspicious about these three releases:

https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/F ... rus/876844
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/F ... rld/876850
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/F ... ade/904762

They all come from a basically unknown band, yet appear in the stats page for the most wanted releases. Looking at the actual lists of who wants the albums:

https://www.metal-archives.com/collecti ... eId/876844
https://www.metal-archives.com/collecti ... eId/876850
https://www.metal-archives.com/collecti ... eId/904762

and they're all (at least the [numerous] ones I clicked on) empty profiles, some with random names, or slight variations of others, and the like, apart from the user that added the band. Might it be that all the others were created just for this specific purpose? We're talking above 100 profiles so I can't imagine someone would even feel like doing such a titanic job.

Not sure where else to post this buy why is "Antisemitism" listed as one of Peste Noire's lyrical themes? There's no doubt that his lyrics feature racism and that he as a person is anti-Semitic, but as far as lyrical content for Peste Noire goes I'm struggling to find anything that's explicitly anti-Semitic. Unless someone can show me otherwise?

I see thanks for that. But at the same time, I don't think references to anti-Semitism in just 2 of his tracks, given his extensive list of releases and songs, is enough to qualify his lyrical content as "Antisemitic", especially when you compare it to other bands on the Archives who are straight up anti-Semitic.

I re-added it now, but ...
https://www.metal-archives.com/history/ ... l/id/12672
User "Stormblast" removed NSBM from this label's Styles field, but a good half of its bands have been NS.
I'm unsure if they've ever made any other whitewashing edits or not.



If the mods want, feel free to edit this post to remove the NS links / references after a decision has been made. [Edit: typo]

Jumping in here to say I looked at their modification history and didn't find any other white-washing edits. Could have been a genuine mistake or maybe they don't consider NSBM to be a genre. Should be addressed but they don't seem to be vandalizing the website.

Not intentional wrongdoing but I just found out that "Vegazza Valentine" has been looking at "date modified" in bandcamps source code rather than the release or publish dates, leading him to add things with the wrong release dates. I've had to correct two so far. He has thousands of modifications that will need to be looked at.

As pointed out, he does not appear to have a history of whitewashing but I brought that edit to his attention and asked if he would like to comment, which he has not yet done.

I left a comment on the report and requested his attention.
