AFTER SOME YEARS IN A DICTATORSHIP WITH A RULESET CREATED BY PEOPLE THAT AREN'T
EVEN LEADING FORCES IN THE FLAC SECTION, WE WANTED TO INFORM YOU THAT THE CURRENT
FLAC RULE SET IS NOT VALID BECAUSE NEVER DISCUSSED BY GROUPS IN A CHANNEL AND EVEN MORE 
WORSE IT BLOCKS THE FUTURE OF MUSIC RELEASING BY BANNING ALL LEGIT WEB CONTENT.

REMOVE THIS SECTION FROM YOUR AUTO-NUKE BOTS AND WAIT TILL WE ALL FOUND A SOLUTION TO 
THIS DISASTER EVERYONE MUST LIVE WITH SINCE YEARS! AS LONG THERE IS NO AGREEMENT THE RULE SET 
IS OUT OF FUNCTION! 

WHY IS THE RULE SET NOT LEGIT?!

1. Rules get created by groups that are supplying a section since years and responsible
   for the content you all benefit from.

2. Our common understanding of a legit rule set is that a so-called "COUNCiL" gets formed
   out by leaders of the most active groups in a section to control the quality and create
   the standards for future releases. 

SUMMARY:

Nothing of the above happens here. They just pop up created by ONE person and few people met at
site rings. Groups were forced to follow them and signed them without the chance to change them!!!

No invitation into a channel to discuss the rule set, sign and release them as it is common in 
all other sections we developed TOGETHER over the past years.

IN THIS CASE THATS THE WAY HOW ALL THE GROUPS SIGNED THE RULES (PROOF):

<XXX> when will actually get the new rules ?
<XXXX-XXX> theyre ready
<XXXX-XXX> waiting on other council ppl to vote (NOTE: WHAT COUNCIL?!)
<XXXX-XXX> 3 ppl need to vote
<XXX> question just because it's already some time ago
<XXXX-XXX> encoder changed
<XXX> new flac?
<XXXX-XXX> its going to be 1.3.1
<XXX> oh ok
<XXXX-XXX> pls dl http://xxx/file.html < new updated flac rules > and vote asap

EVEN IF YOU DENIED THE SIGNING THEY SCREW IT OUT WITH PEOPLE'S FEAR OF NUKING FUTURE RELEASES!
NO DISCUSSION ABOUT TYPO'S AND ANYTHING POSSIBLE! JUST SIGN OR DIE!

That means those rules are not legit in any way! YES! THEY ARE NOT LEGIT!

[WEB AND PROMO FORBIDDEN BY RULES]:

The worst thing the rule set blocks WEB / PROMO releases what is total nonsense because most
artists and labels switched to digital distribution only. GET A BRAIN! We missing tons of
originals, promos etc. Instead, people archiving and releasing degraded MP3 sound files cut by some 
digital sound engine called LAME (PSY/GPSYCHO).

Advantages of WEB FLAC:

* 24 Bit/96 kHz and more possible! (MP3 can't handle this bitrates)
* NO DIFFERENCE to the retail product. There is just no physical medium anymore!
* Double of data in a .flac file beside .mp3 (IT'S THE ORIGINAL CONTENT CREATED IN THE STUDIO)
* Enough legit webshops, 100% digital labels around that releasing wav and/or .flac files!
* You CAN BUY WEB flac at legit stores instead hacking google.play and autopre stuff! 
  That is no excuse to forbid all WEB content.

- So what is THE TRUTH about the current rule set? -

It got created by old suspecious farts that built a decent network of nuke systems implemented to servers.

As we all know the whole scene suffers from this individuals in the meantime because
they not doing their job probably. They are not around to check dupes and prevent double
uploads or checking the content, instead, they creating rules in meantime all sites and sections must follow. 
Doesn't matter how stupid they are! (E.G. MP3COUNCIL VS RIAA NUKEWAR). There is no reason to nuke actual improved LAME
versions with the newest GPSYCHO/PSY engine. 

The worst thing is that those individuals created decent siterings and a database with all scene sites listed.
 
YES SITERINGS AND A BIG SITE DATABASE!

Something FORBIDDEN back in time for security reasons! If one big ring is infiltrated and 
busted, a whole part of the scene is shut down! GREAT! AGAIN GET A BRAIN! Or imagine this database(s) get leaked!?
WTF!

To hide their missing operating system skills and understanding of Linux, programming
languages and everything you need to secure a server probably they even invented an
IP-banning system that forcing couriers and groups to drop all sites that are
rented / colocation or with setups not common for their understanding.
This, of course, leads to nothing instead losing friends!  

Homelinks that producing terabytes of traffic every month are the riskiest way to run
a scene site because this amount of traffic is not normal for an end-user. We all can remember
busts in .SE BBB back in time or not?

FINAL:

As long all the bigger and smaller active FLAC GROUPS not discussing their rules in a
channel, this ruleset is just some master control program by networks not doing any real release work 
for the scene.

[WE ARE NOT HERE TO SUPPORT WAREZ SELLING IN ANY WAY, FUCK YOUR P2P, SLOT SELLING SHIT AND GET A JOB INSTEAD!]

ALL THE FLAC NUKES ARE FAKE INSTEAD DUPES AND ALL GROUP STATISTICS ARE USELESS!
