HairMetalAddict wonders what happens if you vote or abstain on every mod that's open... what shows up in the *random moderation* iframe?

I've wondered that
2004-11-02 30751, 2004
cikkolata
far too many add album mods for me to do it though
2004-11-02 30754, 2004
ruaok
Gotta go read the source to find out!
2004-11-02 30704, 2004
cikkolata
before college worked me off my feet, I came close ;_;

It's in Perl, right... that's NP. ;-)
2004-11-02 30722, 2004
cikkolata
ooh, perl
2004-11-02 30732, 2004
HairMetalAddict
And ruaok, the correct answer is "Vote like hell and maybe you'll find out". ;-)
2004-11-02 30736, 2004
cikkolata
which reminds me
2004-11-02 30753, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Hehe, encouraging maniacal voting. :-P
2004-11-02 30702, 2004
cikkolata
ruaok: is there an easy way of working out how many open mods there are that I haven't voted on for each mod type?
2004-11-02 30721, 2004
ruaok
no, not really.
2004-11-02 30728, 2004
cikkolata
bah
2004-11-02 30737, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Advanced Search on mods can do it, kinda. Gotta be very specific though.
2004-11-02 30720, 2004
cikkolata
yeah, I wanted something more automatic so I can just click links if it has stuff to vote on
2004-11-02 30713, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Open Mods, Not Voted... I have a couple links bookmarked to show some mod types.
2004-11-02 30701, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Hehe, I have no "Add Album" mods left to vote on.
2004-11-02 30717, 2004
cikkolata
I have bookmarks for all the mod types, but there;s no easy way to show how many there are
2004-11-02 30757, 2004
HairMetalAddict
10 per page, how many pages? (Last page can be 1-10 mods, but close enough)
2004-11-02 30709, 2004
cikkolata
it says on the page how many there are
2004-11-02 30728, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Hmm, yeah, that too. Doh!
2004-11-02 30746, 2004
cikkolata
I could probably get it with a script...
2004-11-02 30714, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Blah, getting several newbs thinking "they know best" coming over now that AudioScrobbler has a mod system in place. MB considered an authority, so they come to MB and try to change things to their liking to get their opinions accepted on AS mods...
2004-11-02 30708, 2004
HairMetalAddict
AS was in desperate need of a mod system, but didn't see this "extra" effect happening.
2004-11-02 30727, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Fortunately they get voted off the island pretty quick. ;-)
2004-11-02 30743, 2004

HairMetalAddict slaps himself for using a reality show reference. Death to reality shows!
2004-11-02 30707, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Hmmm... Scenario: All tracks on a CD are live. It's one CD of a box set (other CDs are not live). The tracks are compiled from other various live recordings (all previously released). Compilation, or Live?
2004-11-02 30721, 2004
HairMetalAddict
I tend to go with Compilation on that. Leaving Live for "original" full Live album concerts. Could go either way though.
2004-11-02 30733, 2004
ruaok is away: snore
2004-11-02 30721, 2004
HairMetalAddict
It's 10:15 in the morning, time for coffee. :-P
2004-11-02 30730, 2004
cikkolata
I'd say compilation
2004-11-02 30744, 2004
cikkolata
well, both really
2004-11-02 30749, 2004
cikkolata
but since you can only pick one...
2004-11-02 30744, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Exactly. Could be either. The big issue is that if it's marked Compilation, all the tracks get " (live)" tacked on the end. ;-)
2004-11-02 30759, 2004
cikkolata
hmm
2004-11-02 30731, 2004
cikkolata
I think I still prefer compilation, if the others are too
2004-11-02 30746, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Yep. That's what I go with.
2004-11-02 30744, 2004
HairMetalAddict
560 mods left to vote or abstain on. Then the truth of the "random mod" iframe gets revealed. :-P
2004-11-02 30722, 2004
cikkolata
aww
2004-11-02 30728, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Gah, grrrr...
2004-11-02 30755, 2004
HairMetalAddict wants extreme-long Amazon links in mod notes to get cut at some point to avoid left-right scrolling hell
2004-11-02 30721, 2004
cikkolata
allmusic or something links tend to do that for me
and I have my browser full screen with a 1600x1200 resolution ;_;
2004-11-02 30704, 2004
cikkolata
bah, not fair!
2004-11-02 30711, 2004
cikkolata giggles
2004-11-02 30708, 2004
cikkolata
I like your mod notes. I'm normally far too nice
2004-11-02 30703, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Eh, get tired of the same crap. ;-)
2004-11-02 30730, 2004
cikkolata
I noticed
2004-11-02 30737, 2004
cikkolata
hmm, was anything ever officially decided about how to write the volume?
2004-11-02 30701, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Not that I know of.
2004-11-02 30715, 2004
cikkolata
fun.
2004-11-02 30717, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Just been going by the album covers, doing what's done on them.
2004-11-02 30739, 2004
cikkolata
I'm mostly just finding people changing things like "blah, vol. 1" into "blah (volume 1)" and thinking "nooo! find something better to do >_<"
2004-11-02 30722, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Let me guess... Mo
2004-11-02 30711, 2004
HairMetalAddict
He likes doing crap like that. He's "feat."-happy too. ;-)
2004-11-02 30751, 2004
cikkolata
shockingly, no
2004-11-02 30705, 2004
cikkolata
mostly Sir Thorn at the moment.
2004-11-02 30755, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Just did a few from Mo a little while ago. :-P
2004-11-02 30735, 2004
cikkolata
fun.
2004-11-02 30730, 2004
HairMetalAddict
314 votes to go before I run out of things to vote on. :-P
2004-11-02 30748, 2004
cikkolata
hmm
2004-11-02 30725, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Already did all the Add Album ones, so what's left is easy. Hehe
2004-11-02 30708, 2004
cikkolata
have you done all of the add track ones?
2004-11-02 30714, 2004
cikkolata
I hate those so much
2004-11-02 30716, 2004
cikkolata
(non-album tracks) "this is from an album!" "b-side!" "something I picked up from somewhere, no, I don't have any common sense, yes I believe NIN really did do the legend of zelda theme live!"
2004-11-02 30723, 2004
cikkolata
aha, there's mo changing volumes
2004-11-02 30726, 2004
cikkolata
and someone else
2004-11-02 30727, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Nope, those are part of what's left working on. I so hate non-album tracks.
2004-11-02 30746, 2004
HairMetalAddict
"From the album..." <--- Especially when they have a mod note that starts with this. :-P
2004-11-02 30716, 2004
cikkolata
me too, I tend to share them with whoever I'm talking to on AIM at the time because they're either incredibly stupid or incredibly bizarre
2004-11-02 30719, 2004
cikkolata
yes
2004-11-02 30749, 2004
cikkolata
and another person...
2004-11-02 30706, 2004
cikkolata
what is this? whoever does the most volume style changes in a week gets a year's supply of chocolate?
2004-11-02 30747, 2004
cikkolata
I wouldn't care, but people are going back and forth and we're getting nowhere with consistency
2004-11-02 30703, 2004
HairMetalAddict
They need a higher ranking on the top mods chart. ;-)
2004-11-02 30721, 2004
cikkolata
ahh, I see.
2004-11-02 30732, 2004
cikkolata
...another
2004-11-02 30744, 2004
cikkolata looks really confused
2004-11-02 30717, 2004
HairMetalAddict would like to thank all the Trance listeners who are too drugged out to properly capitalize (or even spell), for adding to my hefty number of moderations
2004-11-02 30721, 2004
HairMetalAddict
:-P
2004-11-02 30725, 2004
cikkolata
hmm?
2004-11-02 30707, 2004
HairMetalAddict
Gotten all kinds of mods because Trance additions are the worst ones at capitalization. ;-)
2004-11-02 30721, 2004
HairMetalAddict
With hip-hop and rap a close second...
2004-11-02 30739, 2004
cikkolata
sometimes it seems that the artists are all too drugged up to capitalise or spell, let alone the listeners.
