Band additions; it takes 10 minutes.WITH YOUR HELP

 

As some of you might know (although not many, I should expect), I am a bit of a critic when it comes to the fast addition of more known acts whose prog affiliation is sometimes dubious, when older, real prog acts from yesterday and today (some not that unknown at all) are constantly being ignored or left behind, with their addition suspended.

 

Another thing that, in my outsider perspective, annoys me and causes me to make some irreflected comments is the seemingly preferential treatment some bands and members get. From what I can see (and again, I can accept being completely wrong in this case), some bands who enjoy apreciation by some collabs get added more quickly. An example I recall was when a Collab (I apologise, I don't remember who, nor the topic in which it occured - but I am sure he will say who he is, if he reads this) added Roman Bunka 1-2 weeks after he was sugested in that topic by BaldJean, after telling Jean he/she would personaly see to it regarding that adition. Said and done. It is a bit frustrating for people like me to witness this, after investing some time in compiling a honest triple submission of aknowledged prog acts from my country, following all the band submission rules, and not seeing them added after 9 months.

 

So, again I apologise if my comments hurt anyone, but my question remains, this time in another tone: do collabs really need 9 months to read 3 Word pages and listen to 5 mp3 files before adding an aknowleged progressive rock act, when in some cases they have proven they can do it in a matter of weeks?  

 

1. It takes some time to add bands, specially obscure bands which you don't know. Now I understand why bands can't just..."get added". People here have to find 30 (at least) minutes on their days to add a band they don't have any info about.

 

2. It takes 10 MINUTES when someone helps with either the bio, the data, or everything. Some member wanted a metal band added which had already been approved; he sent me the bio, the discography, the links, about 75% of what was needed, and about 95%of the links neccesary to get what was missing. So it took like 10 minutes.

 

So, for all the members that want to have a band added, well, it takes an eternity without help (well, not that much, but who has 30-60 minutes to spare these days?); it takes 10 MINUTES with help.

 

So don't complain and act!!
