Welcome to the LouisvilleHardcore.com History help page. Please let us know if there are any subjects which you would desire to see on this page.
Content
Other FAQ
- What if someone writes slander about me?
- The history is moderated and each submission is checked for content that is not allowed. the software enables a "Rollback" to a previous version of a page if the page's content is altered in a substantially bad way. no information is lost. This is not a message board, and usage as such will lead to people's expulsion from the project.
- Why aren't I listed?
- You are not listed because:
- A)You have not been involved in a band, zine, or organization, have not booked shows, etc... This is not intended to foster a belief that you only count if you are in a cool band or know the right people, but intended to catalog people that have had an impact on the "scene". Part of punk rock and hardcore is action (in our eyes), so do it. Don't complain.
- B)You have done at least one of the above but no one has added you yet. Feel free to add yourself by visiting one of the pages you are involved with or the People section.
- Why is logging in so stressed?
- Logging in to add/edit entries is stressed because it is much easier to keep track of entries. In the previous version of this history that was found on Society Of No's old website, there were some people that were making entries with bad information and writing untrue/unfair things about people. Since they had logged in, we were able to contact them and let them know that stuff like that would not be tolerated, or if it was minor, to let them know what the problem was. It also allowed people to keep an eye on other entries that were made so any future problems could be resolved/removed.
In addition, wiki sites such as this one are frequently targeted by spammers and spambots. We want the information held here to be helpful to future punk/hardcore/indie generations, not helpful for those looking to peddle their wares. Enforcing login rules helps keep the spammers out and the information more reputable (well, as reputable as a wiki can be).
