If the mod team were to take just 3 days off from deleting any spam, the forum would look like
this.
Nobody interested in talking about music, just endless threads of "come listen to my band and tell me how good it is!" and that's not what this forum is for. This isn't a conduit for you to use to gain exposure, it's for music nerds to congregate and discuss which is Radiohead's best album. There's a plethora of websites for you to use to get exposure, but only a small sliver of them dedicated to honest discussion. I like to think that MusicBanter is the top Google hit for music forums because of quality.
