Please don't upload logo collages (multiple logos in one image) to band pages. In that thread, people are free to (politely) make the case for why we should reverse our decision to reject/delete/blacklist that band.

Greetings, all! In 2012 the site posted an FBI logo on the main page, suggesting that the site was suspended by the FBI as a result from the SOPA and PIPA bill, which was a much-talked about phenomenon in the media around this time. Additionally, the archive includes approximately 20,000 slides and 1,000 photographs that document Metal Museum exhibitions, events and past commissions as well as individual artist portfolios. The challenge is named in memory of our friend Diamhea, a long-time contributor to the challenge and staff member here at Metal Archives, who sadly passed away on May 21, 2018.

Once a decision is rendered, it is FINAL until or if the band releases a new album, or new evidence comes up that shows it may qualify as acceptable under our rules. You are also expected to read our guidelines for how to make an appeal and what evidence we would need for it. There's no prizes or rewards except knowing that you've given a review to an album that didn't previously have one. In 2019, the website announced it was deleting most pages and would only list bands deemed "good" by the staff. Terrorizerdescribed the site as "a fully-exhaustive list of pretty much every metal band ever, with full discographies, an active forum and an interlinking members list that shows the ever-incestuou… Please remember to thoroughly read our guidelines on it. Possibly tonight at the same time, but I'm having trouble confirming this with our host (hence the late warning, sorry about that). Before asking for an appeal, you are expected to do a search of the forums to see if the band has been previously brought up. Here's to another 120,000 bands and more!."

For the 2015 prank a hoax news story was posted "announcing" that the site was no longer free to use and the site was introducing paid membership features. [17] This is because in the past, some submissions labeled with those genres have turned out not to be metal, according to the site's guidelines. Out of the digital release guidelines, the most visible is almost definitely the length requirement. High quality albums of all metal genres. As a result, we have decided to dedicate a whole forum, the "Band Appeals" forum, to handling these requests. As a result, the site will be taken offline completely effective 24:00 EST today. virgin albums). Over the past few months we have discussed this problem amongst the staff and the bottomline is this: The length aspect is going to be greatly deemphasised when it comes to eligible digital-only bands. A secondary prank involved the spontaneous deletion of controversial band Meshuggah (whose genre was listed on the site as "technical nu-metal/djent" and later changed to simply "djent"), leading to another series of arguments between moderators on the site's forum, although not to the extent of the 2009 prank.

Later the same day another announcement was made that the staff had changed their minds by bringing back the reviews as well as having every future review accepted automatically. Note that singles and rough demos are still (generally) not sufficient and that one of the foremost requirements for a release remains that there is a full download option for the everyday music explorer, i.e. Every spring and every autumn, reviewers are encouraged to spend a week writing and submitting as many quality reviews as possible, with the aim to focus on albums with no reviews so far (i.e. Each band brought up gets its own thread (see our example thread). That is more than enough to declare our database 100% complete. The relevant rules section should be updated soon with more details and pointers to reflect this change in policy. As such it was also only one of a number of other attributes that seemed reasonable to expect from professional (enough) output. Ideally, as much as possible, if a band is acceptable with a physical release, it should be acceptable with a digital one as well. However, the projects we linked to in the previous post are very much real and doing actual valuable work you can contribute to.

This resulted in a wave of joke reviews that were deleted from the site the next day. Threads will be flagged to show if the appeal has been approved, denied, or needs more information/evidence. Everyone is welcome to participate - all you have to do is submit reviews as usual during that week. The site has a tradition of April Fool's Day pranks that are sometimes taken seriously.
