Editing releases & adding bands

You can edit album info and add albums to PA when you earn the third star ( correct me if I�m wrong M@X or Phil) which prevents trolls and other nasty creatures to f**k up the database. People who stick around long enough to earn some stars ( which mostly happens because people write serious informative reviews, but also if they show dedication in the forum) usually have an interest in maintaning the site and not messing up the database. It works pretty well on PA IMO. The album covers are handled by a seperate team on PA. But that�s only if you want to change what is already added, not if it�s a new album you add. About Bios it�s always possible to make the team which is responsible for a certain sub aware that something is wrong with a bio and of course offer you help correcting those wrongs. That�s how it works on PA. Maybe one of the two admins can say if that�s how it�s gonna be here on MMA too?

Just remember that my initial post said albums. Not artists. I assume the system with adding artists here on MMA will probably be a bit different from the one on PA. There are seperate teams for each sub on PA who evaluate each artists that is suggested. On PA they are evaluated to see if they are prog enough for that site. I assume that it will be a matter of determining which genre that a band will fit into more than determining how "metal" they are ( well they have to be metal of course, and borderline cases will always appear) on MMA. Only five star special collaborators on PA are able to add artists to the database. I�m very interested to hear how the system will be here on MMA just like you.

I'm not sure why everybody says on PA you can edit albums when having three stars, as this is what I get when editing an album (though I have close to 8000 posts now).

Don�t forget to mention that the number of collabs who can edit the most basic info on albums is actually pretty large. It�s not a small 5 person group. All suggestions for changes are dealt with within a pretty short time span. I�d say that part of PA is a pretty smooth running machine ( there�s a thread where members can suggest changes). I�ve personally suggested album cover changes a couple of times ( which is something I�m not able to do myself on PA) and the changes happen pretty fast.
