I started a thread in General Gaming, specifically for people to post their favorite game soundtracks. For no reason other than abuse of power for its own sake, one of the mods merged it into the thread where video game music in general is discussed, ruining the whole point of the thread. We were supposed to be done with mod-enforced megathreads, weren't we?

We already have a thread where people post their favorite video game songs in. Why specifically do we need another one where people post their favorite video game songs?

I had to learn this the hard way. I got demoted for it-- WAIT, NO I RESIGNED! Yeah, I resigned.

Still, it's what DU decreed. What's the deal, Jaesun?

Edit: Night Goat, perhaps you can quote or link your post, then link us to the 'megathread' it got moved to (so we can judge for ourselves)? I can't fucking find it, there're way too many other threads in there. :troll:

Threads were basically the same though. NG just wants to be a special snowflake.

It's not the same thing, though. A track is one song, a soundtrack is the set containing all of the game's songs. Furthermore the thread was for people to post their favorite soundtracks, not just any.

The thread I made is gone of course, this was the initial post:

If your thread had originally specified that you wanted to talk about favorite game soundtracks, then I agree. It shouldn't have been merged. The megathread is way too general in nature.

Jaesun...

Edit: Wait, a minute. From the megathread's OP:

Many games have them, that one music track that when it starts playing your reaction is "aw, yea it's ON NOW!!". The music that you know it's ass-kicking time.

This actually sounds like it's promoting a favorite track, even without specifically mentioning that.

So just so I get this right...

A thread about discussing video game soundtracks was merged with another thread about discussing video game soundtracks.

And this is a problem?

Can someone direct me to some quality codexian drama? I expected something stupid but not so bland when entering here.
Thanks.

Isn't there already a thread for complaining about megthreads? Why don't we merge this thread with that one?
