I just read that bit about Hostile, i think you may be surprised at just how vile and distrubed some metal tracks are if you just listened to the lyrics, but this is no reason to report a track. Artists are free to express themselves by any means possible and there is no place for censorship in the music industry.

STP can't really kick an Artist because someone took offence to the lyrics, i mean if it was that simple i'd have had half the Indie bands kicked because i find them offenseive to my ears.

And if you really hate being offended, avoid the late great GG Allin. just a tip.

I disagree. I'm not a fan of the pseudo-liberal idea of tolerating every bit of foul nonsense that comes your way in the name of letting everyone have their say. Also your comparison of wanting to have indie bands kicked off because you find them offensive is silly. This is nothing to do with taste in music. It's to do with preaching hate.

This lends weight to the idea that you have to have tipped an artist in a showcase to get five stars. Poo! I guess I haven't yet then. Does it mean artists who are already showcased (can you tip them?) Or does it mean if you happen to tip one who then makes it to the next showcase?

edited to say: actually, just noticed that I have Tommy Ludgate in my watchlist, so this disproves the above. She's a previous showcase act, isn't she? And I would have tipped her as I never put people on my watchlist without tipping... hmm. COnfusing.

To get that 5th Star im sure you need to have successfully tipped an artist who then gets through to the next stage.

That isn't actually the case any more and hasn't been since V2 launched.

actually they can, and did. There was a song in the scout room which had the chorus that started "i love my 10 year old neighbor", and the lyrics were clearly about paedophilia. It was reported as being inappropriate and it was removed and the artist banned from the site.

ahh so it was you !!!

hehe .. i don't know what's going on - there haven't been many problems with the scout room lately, and no indication of any downtime.

might just have been a one off crash.

oh well .. off to do other things !

bchnnc

Everytime I have logged onto the scout room prior to its recent downtime it has been working, maybe thats just me? lol...

Havent had a chance to log on today, i have not gone above 3 stars and i have tipped 25 artists (if i like them i tip them, its like going to a restaurant and leaving a tip lol..)

Goodluck with your STP today

jasonwatkins

this downtime is annoying as there wasn't even any suggestion of any problems
