    Hey,

    All you need to do is provide a link, you don't need to embed anything.

    The reason we shut down requests is because we need you to use the app so it is taken into account and the boards aren't run over with them. For more info, take a look here:
    Official Rocksmith Song Requests

    There is absolutely no reason for you to insult staff or forum members and it will not be tolerated. If you have constructive feedback, please feel free to share through PM.

    Thanks

    I never saw Dan's tweets, but the mods generally give more leeway on the newsletter and clue threads with regards to DLC speculating, guessing or hoping. On all other threads, that kind of talk would be considered 'requests.'

    The sole purpose of my post was to question the point of the newsletter when it was my understanding that it exists to generate discussion on possible dlc for the month.

    I had seen a band mentioned as a possibility on The Riff Repeater and tweeted that I would love to see them not as a request but in the context of the newsletter. I thought that was ok however the response I received left me confused and I found it a bit insulting.

    That's a good question.

And it would stay that way unless we ended up getting one of a couple of extremely unlikely top 40 (3) bands.
    Not quite a pack, but I will take any Gin Blossoms song I can get. New Miserable Experience was one of those albums that I all but wore out. I requested a bunch of their songs after they came up on a stream chat a year or two ago which I think you were on. Glad to see them included.

    I wholeheartedly agree. I wore out that album myself. Although I was hoping for a full pack, I am ecstatic that we get at least one song from them. Plus, this shows that there aren't any hidden licensing issues with their material (as some had suggested on the RB Forums before).

    However when Dan goes around treating honest discussion as just another request and making condescending remarks I have to ask. What's the point?
    OTOH Dan also isn't particularly fond of having "DLC requests" sent to his personal twitter account as you might recall. However that's just the nature of twitter, you clicked reply and it went to his account. He said bit.ly/rsrequest and there isn't a tone over twitter so you felt like he was coarse with your excitement.

    IMO not that big of a deal but you felt the need to post about it here so obviously Dan will have to address it now.

    Yeah I'm sure he gets countless Tweets requesting songs every day. That would get annoying. Perhaps deleting his name from that reply would have avoided this? Idk all the particulars about Twitter.

    The link to the request page wasn't really what bothered me it was the "I accept that people will always make the clues into whatever they personally want them to mean." that I found to be a bit condescending, but I was probably just being too sensitive.

    For the record: The "green with envy" clue was for the Gin Blossoms track. Because envy is a synonym for jealousy, and green is a winter holiday color -- and all the clues had some sort of holiday pun. The other two clues refer to DLC that will be released later this month.
