    Okay WTF with XBL not allowing my track description???

    Okay here's my situ:
    The first track I released was called Ktulu Calls. It was a very long track, and while I got alot of positive feedback many riders said it was too long. So I broke it up into four segments called The Four Horsemen #x. I quoted a line from the song by the same name for each track description and put the names of the horsemen in the description since I couldn't fit it into the title properly. When I went to share #3 I ran into a problem where the editor kept telling me to check my description.

    WTF is wrong with "Pestilence... For what you've had to endure, and for what you have put others through!"? I edited it down to say after several attemps "Pestilence... Metallica fans, you know the rest!" and that was accepted. Hell #4 sounds worse than that! "Death... Deliverance to you for sure. Now there's nothing you can do!" Which was no prob. That really pissed me off!!!

    I'm tempted to make a track and use the first line from Garage Inc/So What in the description or even the name, but that might get me banned!!! "So f***ing what" is the opening line, for those of you who aren't Metallica fans.

    Interesting article about XBL's banned words list. They block slang from other languages so if
    For what you've had to endure, and for what you have put others through
    contains any combination of something bad from another language, that combo will be blocked.

    maybe it's "and for what you have put others" or and for what you have put others
    Or even "Have put" could say "Have pu" (Have poo)

    LOL! That's what I did Morfyboy. I have read other posts from builders that had the same problem. I was just suprised that the description for TFH#4 didn't get blocked as well. I'm over it.

    To Jolan... I am American, born and raised to speak english. LOL, like that doesn't sound wrong. I speak no other language and was not trying to embed some crap in my description, which JFTR was a quote from a song I heard over 20 years ago! Thanx fer pointing out a possible mistake with the BOLD letters. I wil keep that in mind for future reference. Like the day I visit another counrty!

    Anyways, hope you will check out my tracks!

    And BTW... Metallica RULES!!!

    I wish there was a listing of blocked words, I assume it would be a fun read.

    S&M is the best album.

    LOL!
    Anyways, I released all 4 tracks. Just the third has the gayferized description.
    Hope you'll try them out, and if yer brave... Go for the full run on Ktulu Calls! And don't be shy with any feedback! I am humble, I listen and learn.

    BTW ShiftySamurai, S&M does kick some serious ***!!! Metallica may have not been the first rock or metal band to have an orchestra back em, but they did it the best!
