    I see where you're coming from, but it's a forum for the free posting of shows - and some people, who aren't jaded curmudgeons like we are, may actually find such information useful (they're crazy).

    I just don't see a non-spiteful reason to edit down a properly-posted shows listing, no matter how obnoxious. Unless you were doing so to insert pictures of the Insane Clown Posse. Or emo cows (see Andrea's avatar).

      I'm all for the 1-to-2 sentence band description and a myspace link thrown in, that's fine. But some of these bands (Schizowave), usually ones that aren't posted by regulars on here, attempt to use the Shows section like a press release forum, and that to me is just tacky.

      The way I look at it, if people come on here to advertise a show, that's one thing. If they come here to advertise their band in the guise of a show listing, that's just a blatant marketing ploy that belongs in the street team section.

        I don't see it the same way, then.

        Partially because shows listings are out-of-sight, out-of-mind for me.

        But I think the major thing is that I half-expect to see "ex-Crust Filth sounds like Hatebreed sexoring Hole in a disco while T. Rex watches!!!!" on flyers, anyways, so seeing it on the messageboard is basically the same.

        I definitely like it when bands post MySpace links so that I can hear them.

          why not just change the date organizing format to MM-DD-YYYY like every other place in the US? As long as bands lead with that, it should still be okay

            Every other place in the US is retarded.

                    I like merge sort. It helped me get through 50 million big numbers in mere minutes.

                      i'm a fan of how electronics can take insane concepts like a merge sort and dumb it down so a nascar fan can appreciate it.

                        Schizowave was amazing, and if band bios were really as good as "x-Crust Filth sounds like Hatebreed sexoring Hole in a disco while T. Rex watches!!!!", show listings might actually be fun to read.

                          Oh, totally missed this. I need to get better about checking the board. But I'm still going to move past shows and format titles anyway. Gives me something to do.
