Moderators do not have time to fix the errors in the posts of all users, so all those POST that NOT MEET MINIMUM POSTING REQUIREMENTS WILL BE DELETED DIRECTLY.
The rule of the forum is: one post for each album. So if you are going to upload a full discography, make a post for each album. There are no DISCOGRAPHY POSTS. For that we have our INDEX of FORUMS (which have every posted album) at the top of each sub-forum.
No repeated albums, please - Use the search engine before posting and make sure that the album is not already posted on the forum. Check how you can use the search engine at
THIS POST
If the posts of the DOWNLOADS ZONE have some small error will be corrected by our moderators, but this resource is up to each moderator, they can choose from the latter or simply delete the post.
If a user discovers an error in a post, he can report it to the moderators, in our REPORTING SISTEM. Check it in
THIS POST
Are prohibited posts which links have the name, pass, or direct access to other forums, RELATED SITES AND / OR COLLECTIVE PARTICIPATION PAGES. Check this rule in the GENERAL RULES.
The posts that have pass or name of other forums will be deleted directly
QUALITY STANDARD FOR THE ALBUMS (BITRATEt) IS 128 KBPS. The album with less quality will be directly deleted.
Is not allowed to publish an album twice or publish an album that is already published. The link of the last of the repeated posts (in time) will be added as a Mirror of the original and then it will be sent to the CEMETERY (except that the first post and the link is dead).
Remember: If the name of the band you're posting has accents, do not submit them. If you put the names with accents and someone searches without accents can not jump in the search engine of the forum and post to respect this rule will be the remaining, even if it's later in time. Remember: DO NOT USE THE ACCENTS.
If you have a link to an album that is already published, you can put your link as the original MIRROR. To do this, open the FORM, make your topic as you would normally, then paste the code in a reply within the original post. The moderators will add to the original post text "MIRROR BY ..." and a redirect to your message.
Nor is it possible to publish more than one album in the same post. If you have two or three albums to post, make a post for each of them. This will facilitate the task of the search engine of the forum and will yield results more clear and precise. Moreover, with that win so many posts to your profile as albums have uploaded.
TITLES
For the titles of new entries are lengthy and understand briefly the content of the entry, you MUST put in the title:
1. The name of the band
2. The name of the album,
3. The year of the album
So it looks like this:
Dionysus - Fairytales and Reality (2006)
With this information is enough to know what we will be entering post.
Remember that the forum's search engine tries to locate the exact words that you entered, and the more detailed and clear titles are better and more effective is the search. Otherwise, the search engine which will be showing a number of results that are not what we want, making tedious and complicated the search.
For the core material you're posting the encyclopedia of metal Metal Archives (www.metal-archives.com) has all the information from almost any metal band. Enter this page and take all the necessary data from there.
SUBTITLES
It is mandatory to add the GENRE of the band you're posting. If you do not know, or have questions, copy the gender www.metal-archives.com attaches to the band.
In principle, we will respect the forum where you posted your band, if you have not posted in a forum clearly wrong.
But if there are discussions between users or moderators, we will let Metal Archives to arbitration, thus, the gender that Metal Archives assign to your band will solve the final discussion and the topic will be moved to appropriate forum.
If the band has more than one genre, Metal Archives means that gender is always the last of all, so if a band is Heavy / Power / Thrash, the band must be posted in the forum Thrash.
If the band passed by two or more different genres during his career, it will be posted in the forum is commonly understood that this band impacted.
The band must be posted in one forum even if it has passed through more than one genre.
FLAGS
It is mandatory to add the flag of the country of the band you're going to post in the icons of the message.
Fundamental: you shall post material that must be uploaded by you, that is, the fruit of your work and your time.
Please no "stolen" links from other forums or other blogs (not yours). The work of others is also true, and we must cherish the same way as we enjoy ours.
Yoy can bring links that have no owner. If you find a link that has no name, and once you've confirmed that no password down, or references, or shortcuts to other forums, you can publish it, putting in the ADDITIONAL INFO, orange Credits to the Web, "to ensure "respect copyright".
The post is entirely yours, and you can put it in:
* Photos of the band .
* Reviews,
* Comments
* News,
* And in general, anything that you feel is relevant
Add all that information in the ADDITIONAL INFO.
The uploaded material can have the pass for your blog (if you have one) or website (if they also have one).
RESERVE UPLOADS
Is it possible to reserve an upload. If you found an album and you want to upload it to hang in our forum, you can make the reservation, and make sure your post is the original post for that album. For this, open the post and submits it as if it were the final post , putting in place the download link a sentence like:
"Link will be available in X minutes"
"Link will be available in minutes"
"Link available in a while ", etc..
Also, put the title "(RESERVE)" at the beginning of it, so that all know that rising reserved album. For example:
“(RESERVE) Metallium – Incubus (2008)”
You have a period of 5 hours to post the link in your post (while responding more or less at a loss and a rise in successful upload).
Once you finish uploading your file, go back to your post, edit, add and remove link of the title phrase "(RESERVE)"
If at the end of 5 hours the link isn't added to your post, the latter will be deleted and the moderators can make the appropriate warning, unless you open a response before the current five hours and had requested an extension of two hours more.
If after the five hours later (plus two extension specifically requested) your link wasn't added, your post will be permanently deleted and the moderators Moderators may give you the punishment they deem fit.
If someone post the same album that your reserve, his post will be waiting for yours. If after 5 hours plus two hours of extension expressly requested you didn't post your link, your post will be deleted and will reserve the post of one who opened the item after you added your link as a mirror of the latter.
If someone post the same album that you reserved, and you hang up the link in a timely manner, i.e. within the five hours, or within seven hours of the extension if asked, will prevail the POST OF RESERVE (i.e., your post ) and Moderators will delete the second post and will add the link as a mirror of yours.
This will make that we know which album is uploading another member, and will advise us about not posting an album twice.
