No More Ghost Editing - Progressive Rock Music Forum

^What?

Well I`m going to go through the bloody thing now. Doesn`t look like it was a result of preventitive measures to me.

If it's punctuation, it's more likely to be steps M@x has taken to prevent hacking which have inadvertently removed some non-text. I've noticed a few of my reviews have such markings missing now.

Jusrt don`t f*** around with anthing I that I`ve written here without contacting me. That Jethro Tull Bio is a mess now. Obviously the person who tampered with it does not have a proper command of the English language. I make mistakes and I always stand corrected.

I`ll call a spade a spade. There are too many chiefs and not enough indianns on this site. Angry

So the whole Bio has been changed?

No some things have been re-arranged commas taken away, inserted. It`s a freakin` mess and I think I got everything right. I was shocked when I showed it to a journalist friend the other day who wants me to write an article for the Montréal Gazette ( completely unrelated to music ) I looked like a damned fool. Fortunately I could show her the other ones which are intact ( thus far ). As for the picture, it wasn`t selected by myself but I agreed that the original one was entirely suitable. Why would someone just go in and change it. " Oh I don`t like the picture so I`m going to put my better picture in". Duh. And it`s not even a better picture. I came up with a better picture of John McLaughlin but I contacted one of the admins to get his take. In this case I doubt if this was done. I did the same for a few other artists. I noticed someone changed the Omega photo I selected to a lousier photo as well.

I dunno. When we do things like writing bios for the site we don`t get paid for it and put a considerable amount of work into it and some clown comes along and defaces it. It should be the author who makes any corrections if necessary. I`ve even made corrections to some of my reviews after being notified by PM.

It says that the last person to update it was you, and before you Sean Trane. Of course someone could have done it since without putting their name but it would have to be a Special Collab or Admin obviously.

Wow, Ian, it looks like you put a whole lotta work into that one. How lame for someone to mess it up.

...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell"

What's wrong with the current photo?

"Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent."

Charles Bukowski

I don't know about too many chiefs, etc. but it is bad manners to say the least to change someone's bio without contacting the original author.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Alright I'd post a pic of a cute one, but I'm sure it would be censored by a ghost editor. LOL

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I have updated some Bios, but not Tull.
