name of artist.com/music.html
facebook.com/name of artist
(Sorry I can't post links cause I'm new...)

''name of song' is the newest and catchiest IMO.

Just so people can see exactly what was deleted.

And yes it is against the rules

Band/Music Promotion
Joining MusicBanter to promote your (or someone else's) music is also prohibited. Any accounts being used for promotion will be banned and their posts deleted. Links to music in signatures are allowed, pending moderator discretion.

JOINING MUSICBANTER FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF GETTING FEEDBACK ON YOUR MUSIC IS PROHIBITED. This site does not exist for these kinds of services. We only offer them to established, contributing members of this website.

The person in question made one post with a link to a facebook page and left, that's why it was deleted and the account was banned.

You read every post in the thread and yet you didn't see the answer to this question?

Well, here you go...

Now can you just assume that you don't know what you're talking about and let it rest?

Actually they didn't post under the old account in the 'what are you listening to now thread,' they posted with the account they're using in this thread and just posted the link in it again. Pete deleted it.

Oh so they used a sock puppet? Yeah, banning them was a miscarriage of justice.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 03-09-2013, 10:52 AM

No not a sock puppet, they posted in the other thread while they bitching about the other account being deleted in here.

The pretention in the title of this thread is laughable.

I appreciate the answer.

So that's against the rules? 1) I don't agree and think we should have a separate thread discussing that (including how often people are banned for the behavior). 2) The written rules don't make that clear. Was the artist he mentioned new and obscure? (New and obscure is more likely to be deliberate promotion, I suspect.)

So the guy had posts deleted from two different accounts?

I have an idea for you OP and what you could do to resolve this entire problem. Cry and fist yourself.

So make a thread about it and don't resurrect dead discussions for the sake of creating drama.

I have an idea. Sopsych lets us take care of the outright spammers and troublemakers, and he sticks to discussing music he likes instead of beating a dead horse. Then everyone is happy.
