The Collaborator's Handbook

This is the major revision of the Collaborator's Handbook that the admin team have been building for some time. Unlike the previous one based on forum posts this one will be available as a PDF file that you can either view online or download to your computer. You can access it at from the below link which we will update as required, as well as posting in this thread what changes have been made between versions. The thread may also be used to give the admin team any feedback on the handbook and the site policies detailed therein as well as to ask any questions if you're unsure of anything.

Just read it all. Don't know how much actually went in.

It's a good set of standards and instructions. The only major thing I've been doing wrong is sticking the bonus tracks in the wrong place. That's my fault for not reading the handbook thoroughly earlier.

Handbook revision 2.1 uploaded. 

Handbook revision 2.4 (finally) uploaded.

Handbook revision 2.6 has been uploaded.

OK, i give up and i forgot how because it's been too long. Not in the collab book. I checked first.

^ so i wrote a review for a buddy on RYM for his Metal Madness Vol 1 comp and of all the 39 artists on it, NONE are on here.

Exactly what Adam said. I have done it myself. Add profile in English text first, including at least one album, and then you can change the band name. It seems to be once it's established in the database it's OK.

I have no issue with MMA relevant albums being among the high rated on the site but in general we do need better charts, including proper filters for those who don't want to see this or that genre included.
