Naming Threads
There is a little discussion going on here about the name of the thread the creator has given and it seems to bother people.
Thread naming is often bad on this forum and especially when you want to present something to the crowd for reviewing. A few things occur which start to annoy some members including myself:
* Bragging ("killer track inside", "listen to this monster", "best yet")
* Begging ("plz review", "comments appreciated", "need your opinion")
* No trackname ("I made a new track", "new track by me", ...)
* Unwanted other ("free download", "ok")
Let me go through this points more thoroughly.
* This is a promotion forum, true, but let me tell you that by telling us that you just finished "a monster track" is just bullock in most of the cases and that automatically makes you a liar and it's pretty arrogant. Be wise and don't tell us you have a killer track while it's total crap.
* PLEASE don't beg you want more reviews! You get what you deserve when you act normal on here, ok? I know it's hard especially for newbies to sit and wait for reviews while your threads stays empty. I've been there too. I'm sure when the forum looks better everyone will get their reviews. Actually it's kinda cool to be the first to review, cause everybody reads the first!
* Post the trackname with some info on it. By info I don't mean how good it is. A good suggestion methinks would be:
[Genre or style] Artist - Name of track (Mix) - bitrate Sample or full
That's it. The italic parts are optional. E.g. I could be posting something like this:
[Prog. Trance] Yarune - Sync Master (Instrumental Mix) 128 kbps sample
Believe me, that's no more than you need to know. And no less. Assume there are quite some DJ's looking around these forums who want to play nice fresh tracks. You need to present your track in a decent way! There might be some label A&R's around here too.
* And no other nonsense like "I'm drunk and made this" or just "ok", it really looks aweful and doesn't invite people to read your thread, trust me.
The point of this is that there must be a rule for this to give every thread a good and fair chance and to give this part of the forum a better look.
I hope to get some response on this so we can get this rule up for the sake of this forum and by that the sake of us all.

. We should also require a bit of information on the track. I'm not wanting anything as specific as I sometimes post but it would be great if everyone could atleast post all the instruments (hardware/software/samples) they used, track time, the host they used (FLS/Sonar/Cubase/Logic/Reason/Abelton/etc), and track speed (BPM). This is useful information for those people that might want to remix a song and or collab with someone to finish a track.
