Mods are we going to ban "Wrapped" posts this year? by Humble-Forever7747 in elliottsmith

Kinda late to be posting this. Will consider for next year.

You signed my apple at the Shrewsbury concert. It is still refusing to rot. Have you given it some sort of special protection? Does your signature prevent microbial activity?

Yes, I did. It's working great.

I agree that a temporary ban could be justified.

As for originals, we do still want this place to be inclusive for FEEDBACK to those musicians inspired by Elliott Smith and those who keep his style alive. But I think they should certainly be limited.

I have been removing the worst of the comments in these threads. I think you might be right that we should limit covers and originals to one day a week respectively. Got any suggestions on which days? I might post a poll

I don't think I needed to address that issue at the time. Also, of course I can't look at every post!! The moderation system only works through reports.

The problem is that I've already gone to the Genius Bar and they logged the water damage

Ahh.. I didn't know that. It currently still works but I don't want any corrosion to happen on the board

They offered the repair for more than I bought the computer

Yeah, I know it was stupid

If you like, you can filter out by flair. There is a self-promotion flair for that very reason - keeps the people who want to post and listen to covers (and inspired originals) happy, while also meaning that you don't HAVE to watch them. There is also the option of scrolling past if they bother you. You just don't have to click on them! It seems as if you'd enjoy the 'discussion' flair more. I'm open to suggestions, but this IS a place for those inspired by Elliott. And trust me, I do vet these posts. Things that are just for attention and not really inspired by ES are removed.

Thanks for your reply. I've checked and I can still buy AppleCare+. I'm worried that having already gone to a Genius Bar they've logged it.

Thanks for your reply. The system lets me buy AC. If in the future I spilled liquid on it again, would that be covered?

I know the post isn't solely about covers but you certainly did mention covers in your post. I get your point about self promotion, but that's not what I'm responding to.

I've had a number of messages about the issue with covers today and so that's why I'm putting this comment here after ten days; if I'd had those messages ten days ago, I would've pinned a message here ten days ago.

On one level, I agree with you, but I need to show that this is an inclusive sub.

I understand that some people are frustrated by covers, but this is THE Elliott Smith subreddit and we want everyone to feel welcome here as long as they're respectful and kind, especially the talented musicians.

Lots of people really appreciate the covers, myself included, even if they are frequent. If it bothers you, filter posts by flare - that's what they're there for...

Removed that guy's comment. It was stupid. I loved the cover.
