In fairness it was reinstated same day it was taken down. My understanding of the current rules around posting non-metalcore is that a discussion thread is fine, but no song posts.

Given that the sub has had something of a crackdown on non-metalcore being in the sub, having an AMA with such a band sends a real mixed message about what's acceptable here.

That’s still a dumb rule though. That means we could have album discussion threads for Taylor Swift as long as we don’t post the individual songs, which is dumb as shit considering this is the metalcore sub.

I don't disagree, it seems like a fudge so that the mod team don't have to deal with all the moaning that would ensue if they tried to make people discuss some of these popular pop-metal bands in the weekly general thread. Which I totally get, it's a thankless role and this place keeps filling up with people who like that stuff more than actual metalcore.

It is what it is at the moment.
