We encourage list threads ONLY if they are in-depth and generate parent replies with quality content. List threads have grown popular here and have generated a lot of good discussion and content. Most removed posts can be resubmitted successfully by making the topic more discussion oriented. 'DAE' posts invite yes/no answers and do not stimulate discussion! If your contribution has been deleted and you feel peeved, feel free to let us know. Threads like 'I like band x, do you?' or 'Help me get into band y' don't belong here. Posts should include in-depth questions and analytical opinions. New topics must aim to start a discussion. Trivial and uninteresting threads may be deleted. Try to engage in intriguing conversation. A comment should always further the discussion in some way, whether it be through adding onto the original post, contributing new information, offering an opposing viewpoint, etc. Back up your opinions with details and examples. All top level comments must be longer than simply a sentence or two, barring questions and some exceptions.

Comments must meet a general standard of quality determined by the moderators.
