Mirrorace site is down
Alpha Flight 1970:
Anyway I think the point system in the lower area is too hard, especially concerning folks in the lower area are acting much better and reliable than some guys in the upper. I will have a talk with the admin about it when I find some time.
Alpha Flight 1970:
In case something like this happens nevertheless just mail me and I will re-open a removed request.
Alpha Flight 1970:
I advise to use Discogs. Their genre choices are better than the one on sales sites, e.g. Beatport is really bad in this. If the source you take genre info from is wrong, it's not your fault and request won't be removed.
adapter11:
about the genre: on request we use the release genre (even if wrong) or discogs one? if requesting something that isn't released we use the store genre? i don't want to see my requests removed, i have already serious problems to fill some and get points
Alpha Flight 1970:
Border cases will be fine of course, like they always were.
Alpha Flight 1970:
Furthermore the need to pick proper genre IS a rule. What you claim is nonsense. Also if going with your kind of logic 99% of the music here is "Dance" as it's all dance music.
Alpha Flight 1970:
If somebody makes a request under Dance and it is listed as "Trance" everywhere, then it makes very much sense. Best source for genre is to look at Discogs.
Supreme:
I don't know, I think that's a bit too harsh. Some older (commercial) releases could easily be put in either dance or trance. All those unwritten rules are piling way too fast and sometimes make little to no sense.
Alpha Flight 1970:
Hint for the guys in the lower music zone. If you pick Dance because you are too lazy to properly look for genre when it's Trance, Techno or whatever I'll remove your request.

does any know a way to see restricted content on beatport? i've bought a song long ago using a spain vpn but now i can't see it even with a spain ip
Alpha Flight 1970:

Alpha Flight 1970:
