Wiki: ReMix Changelog

Revision as of 12:47, 27 July 2006 by Liontamer (talk | contribs) (added two Lockdown 2 removals, formatting fixes)

ReMixes may be removed from this site for a number of reasons:

  • if a ReMix is determined to be 'stolen'
  • primarily / entirely not created by the submitting artist
  • based off MIDI arrangements, with only instruments changed (no original notes)
  • involving 'ripping', with minimal original contributions (e.g. a few breakbeats layered on top)
  • if it fails to meet several of the other submission guidelines pertaining to originality and content
  • at the request of the ReMixer
