If you're one of our regular contributors you probably have noticed that it sometimes takes painfully long to get your edit checked. That is because we're pretty overwhelmed by the number of edits we get - and, as you might imagine, going through them is not exactly the most exciting job in the world.

To lighten our burden somewhat, there are now two additional permissions, which allow their holders to submit or edit band-related stuff without involving Staff members:

Permission: Submit band-related info without Staff check

- Granted upon reaching 350 Community points
- Allows submitting new albums, videos, bandmembers, lyrics and so on
- Allows to edit your own items (anything you were the last submitter/editor of)
- Doesn't allow to add bands, band styles or trivia
- Doesn't allow to edit other people's items, delete items or accept/reject edits

Permission: Edit band-related info without Staff check

- Granted upon reaching 1200 Community points
- Allows to edit albums, videos, bandmembers, lyrics and so on, including those submitted by other people
- Allows to add/edit styles for invisible bands
- Doesn't allow to edit Trivia
- Doesn't allow to delete items or accept/reject edits

Permission: Submit events without Staff check

- Granted upon reaching 500 Community points
- Allows to add new events, but not tours
- Allows to edit own events (the ones you added yourself)

Permission: Edit events without Staff check

- Granted upon reaching 1000 Community points
- Allows to edit events added by others

Trivia is excluded because it would benefit from some proofreading and filtering, and we don't receive that many trivia edits anyway. Adding bands is still off-limits, we try not to clutter our database too much.

If you got one of the permissions, congratulations. You will still receive points for your edits, but make sure you don't abuse this fact. If you have any questions concerning your new privileges, contact one of the Staff members. If you encounter any bugs, please post here or send me a PM.

Yep, my internet timed out while submitting a band logo and when I looked back at the bio/logo page there was a duplicate logo. I am unable to remove it so I simply did my best at hiding it (blacked out). If any staff can get around to it here is the link.
