Tracklist Requests / Postings forum turned into a filesharing one

I'm so worried about this tendention. Tracklists forum is no longer a place where you can discuss a set, help someone with tracks & etc. I have no problem at all adding a link to a set, but definitely not the way those guys do it. By 'those guys' I mean users like:
mathur
ak666
****
and several others.
I don't mind when the topic looks like those ones:
http://tranceaddict.com/forum/showt...80&forumid=6&s=
http://tranceaddict.com/forum/showt...35&forumid=6&s=
or any topic about a live event or a radioshow. Including links is not bad at all, but as you can see there is a discussion on these as well (which is the meaning of this forum, by my opinion).
But coming from nowhere, posting a thread (even with tracklist included) and dl links to sites that generate premium points for those who posted it, is unacceptable. Don't you think so? If you check carefully those guys links, they all head to sites like hotfile, ul.to & etc, who generate premium points for them.
Once again - it's great to have a topic with tracklist, links and some quality discussion inside, but posting links only without any discussion is just annoying as hell. And surely those 3 guys are destroying the Tracklist Requests / Postings forum.

Sorry for my english, but hope you understand what I meant by posting this thread.

+1. You're right, this is unacceptable .... I write it here all the time.

People send a only download links in order to collect money for hotfile

You mean their links have an affiliate ID linked to it in case whomever clicks on hotfile pays for a membership? Is that how it works?

Thank you. You just made full confession of being one of those guys. I really hope mods/administrator will ban you guys.

I only just noticed this thread. Completely agree with everyone in here, these guys need to be banned, but first the mods need to be woken up and their asses kicked. What kind of mod allows this kinda stuff to go on in here, these guys could share commercial material on the boards and not one of the mods would bat an eyelid!! They suck!

Keep swearing to myself that I'll stop posting on here cos it's that bad these days, but there are a few threads that contain tracklists (and a download link) that catch my eye, so I still frequent the forums.

i don't have any bad to earn money on sharing or selling sets! Only if it is not turning tracklist board into trashcan. We have some download thread in Toronto music discussion section where people post download links to different sets and NON commercial material. Actually i support earning money on sharing livesets, as people have interest in doing it and more people will download that set. But somehow it should help to complete tracklists. More people downloaded sets, more chances that someone knews unknown tracks. But if sets just posted everywhere and no help with tracklists and nobody even need that tracklist, it doesn't make sense. At least on that section (Tracklist section).

It would be just great to join earning money, collecting sets and making tracklisting I would like to work in that direction, and maybe with opening new board as a part of huge site for livesets

I had, some weeks ago, a kind of argue words with mathur just because of this, but my point of view was related with this:

Why open a thread and post links on a show/set who is not broadcasted yet?

That happened on a Sean Tyas' Tytanium on AH.fm, I remember...

I can't accept this kind of thread for several reasons, but the most important for me is related with this word: Ethic!

You can't post ANY Link/Tracklist before a show/set is broadcasted, it's against the normal human procedures, it's against the DJ/listener/fan/follower itself.

we have a lot of samples here: you will never see the guys who support Markus Schulz doing this!

Respect is the word!

Well, I try to explain this to mathur several times, and never pay attention to me, but at the end he did it ( for my joy) and since that time he is doing an average "work" to me.

I am not against the way they do this but I am not agree the way they sometimes do it!

It's like a kind of SPAM tournament between them, I won...I won matter, no, we need some respect here at TA community, and because of this I am agree with Bluesky's terms of protest.

They need to be more carefully here, I don't care other sites, I care about TA community people only!

@Acuariano1951
you've got a point here!
I'm wondering when Swamper will take some actions against them. It's really annoying, and the exact term is "spam fest" (as Acuariano mentioned).

But Tytanium Sessions is now broadcasted day earlier at A State Of Sundays as well, and it's official, so there's nothing non-ethical here.
