Let's hear the reviews!
You have a person that has submitted often (16 in archive) and reviews regularly plus is an active member of the community and you tell him - choose another name. Would it have been that difficult to tell the new Feldspar - that name has been taken, choose another?jb wrote:"Sorry man, "Feldspar" is what the guy said his band name is. Nobody has dibs on a normal word like that. Maybe time to change your band name to something that can't be anyone else? fm"
See, up untill recently, I would be inclined to agree with that. But go check out the archives. Sort by artist. Scroll down to 'Feldspar'. That's my picture. That's my bio. Those are my songs. As far as I'm concerned, that's my page. The Bizarro Feldspar's song would be listed there, right alongside my songs, on my bio page. Now, Senior has graciously altered the other Feldspar's band name to prevent database fuck-uppery like this, but apparently he is acting independently of you. Under your proposed 'every man for himself' system, what's the point of the extended artist pages if it isn't a page exclusively devoted to one specific artist?FightMaster Jr. wrote:If you choose a name like "Butter" or "Poodle" or "Feldspar" or "Ampersand" or "Octothorpe" or "add", or some other English word or phrase that sounds cool and that somebody else might want to use for a band name-- that is a risk you take when choosing that name. Hell, even stuff like "Loyalty Day" or "Urine Luck" aren't completely safe from this phenomenon.
Aww, I love you too, Fighty.FightMaster Jr. wrote:And for the record, I appreciate Feldspar's participation, dedication, and musicianship...
You do have a point there. One of the main problems is that all the work of sorting bands is done via email, and in order to police the band names I would have to remember who has sent in a band name using which email address-- and people change them or submit from somewhere else or get friends to submit for them etc etc. I'm just not prepared to remember everybody's email address.feldspar wrote:See, up untill recently, I would be inclined to agree with that.
