May i ask if you are labelled a sock puppet what does that mean could someone explain ?

would also like to know

WAVRUNNER: that means you have several accounts and you're using them to (usually) cheat the voting system

We generally ban people doing that since it's against our code of conduct: https://metabrainz.org/code-of-conduct

how is this possible in my case when io only have this account and created the posting its a bit unfair dont you think i get the rules but someone just accusing you then you get banned is not proof

coul anyone assist me with getting correct information inputted on a artists profile

per standard irc help channel ettiqute: don't ask to ask; just ask your question.

There is a recordng, https://musicbrainz.org/recording/1f4a8ba7-d145..., that has a length of 5.20 in MB and saved booklets from discogs support that length https://www.discogs.com/release/6087179-Haydn-T... .  But this length does not agree with the duration

reported from accuratly ripped track, it also does not agree with digital release on Idagio from a compilation in this recording https://musicbrainz.org/recording/605fe20a-0053.... It should be 6.23   I run into this because I wanted to merge recordings. Should I correct the original recording duration even if booklet says

otherwise ?

nadl40, I would say that the 6:22 (6:23) is correct because it matches the time from the discid attached to both of the releases shown in https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/f96fe001-...

sounds good, good to know that Disc Id can be used for that, new to me.

Yeah, if you click on one of the discids attached to a release you can see the duration like https://musicbrainz.org/cdtoc/iEmM4k9fxN09gf2Ua... which can be handy for confirming.

I have another one which I don't know how to fix. Recording https://musicbrainz.org/recording/9ce3f7e1-9594..., Symphony no. 96 movement should not be there, there is a bad fingerprint pointing to 2 diff Symphony movements https://acoustid.org/track/a5b9b040-f78c-43b3-a..., how do I fix that ?

seems all fixed up now

fingerprints are through acuoustID, you can log in there and 'hide' the duff ones

could somone help add releases to these profiles https://musicbrainz.org/artist/fd8bab96-d12b-46... and https://musicbrainz.org/artist/e049dcc3-1386-4b... using thier streaming platforms releases respectively https://open.spotify.com/artist/553jiEgRU09rfsz... and

https://open.spotify.com/artist/0xnVxiVdpXuraxe... obtaining the necessery information from releases on spotify can sanyone help with this

WAVRUNNER: we have IP data that shows you were sockpuppeting. Please stop bothering people here or you'll get banned here as well

Maybe if you had admitted and apologized you would be back adding these yourself. You decided to lie and as such you're staying banned. Maybe something to learn from.

heh, the Discogs profile for Baseman is amusing

how amusing lol please emphasise atj

reosarevok dont let your ego talk out your ass i can easily create anotyher account and use different ips whats stopping me ?

so please lets repect the community and not resort to that

You can, and we'll keep banning them as we find them, and waste everyone's time

Or you could apologize and act like an adult. Or just leave and ignore MusicBrainz if you're not willing to

WAVRUNNER are you denying that you're using multiple accounts to game MB?

call me naive please, but what would be the motivation behind sockpuppet ? To get 3 votes faster so the edit clears  ?

nadl40: Yes, to bypass community moderation.

strange, I love when people comment on my edits, imperfect edits, they actually help me.

apology for what your begging for one that you will never get your funny as for the account creations well what do you know we shall see in 12 months how many screenshots i send you that will remain active lets see how many you find and close down oops

WAVRUNNER, you clearly don't "respect the community", as you put it.

Please reconsider your position and help the community, not act against it.

may as well just start banning the socks

if a person doesn't understand the review process, or value it, there's not much likelihood that they're going to suddenly understand it

pbryan i actually do repect the community hence why i came on here please see the begiinign of the chat before egos and apologies came into the chat

WAVRUNNER, you have created multiple MB accounts, correct?

and by the way before anyone says we have your ips are any of them from the very same device apple macbook pro ?

if you're using multiple accounts to vote for your own edits, you don't respect the community

WAVRUNNER, it's a pretty simple question I'm asking.

i only have this one and use only this one and made edits on this one

So, there's evidence that other accounts are voting for your edits, coming from the same IP address. Can you explain that?

"let's see how many you find and close down"

you said this

any others do not belong to me they are saboteurs please note again any other account other than this does not belong to me

they just happen to be on your computer?

So your explanation is that you share the same IP address as saboteurs?

its a college dorm for christ sake everyione here does music

And they're voting *for* your edits?

have these accounts ever done anything /other/ than voting for his edits?

cause if not, that would be a good indication

and no one else voting?

could i have a bot on my machine is that what your telling me ?

uh, no

it isnt

So, you live in a dorm, where everyone does music, and saboteurs using the same IP address as you do are voting in favour of your edits on MusicBrainz. I hope you can see how that explanation is very difficult to accept.

im asking could it be saboteurs?

sabotaging images

let's try to avoid insulting our intelligence

of people

I don't think anyone would find that explanation to be plausible.

Further, your threats to create even more accounts do not help you.

you lot lie you egostical friend said you can, and we'll keep banning them as we find them, and waste everyone's time

we done here

I agree.

yeahhhhhhh

see you guys in 12 months lets see how many accounts globally you locate that are mine

right, so you admit it

I hope you reconsider, and help our community.

Erin admit that i fucked your mother thats a yes

well someone's angry

pbryan its unfortunate im going to have to resort to such protest but it will teach a few a lesson in manners

why is it such a big deal to just not do the bad thing
