Thanks Sarah!!

I have another question though - I've made my £5.00 now, and have invested it wisely but on my scouting profile it still shows as I have earned £5.00 worth of vouchers. Does this stay the same and sort of show how much you have earned over the whole ime you've been using SLP? Or does it just take a while to update?

It stays the same, shows how much you've made on STP. If you go to your home page of your account it will show how much you've physically got in your account att hat moment in time. The bit below the reviewing panel is the total amount you've made in that room.

I've just started reveiwing for the first time, i'm currently on my 8th track.

I keep finding myself comparing the tracks to well known artists.

Oh dear, i have some weird french music on right now.

This could begin to be a "need to be in the right mood" kind of tasks!

This is worrying, isn't it. Not the newbies, but what it might mean to the quality of the the reviews, if people just join it to make money as quickly as possible, and ultimately how STP works.

i think the fact that the first £5 you earn is in investable vouchers will probably put some people off. also, the fact that whenever the site is mentioned in the media, the OLD scout payments are always used - the fact that you could earn 25p per song if you were a 5 star scout.

More people may well be put off when they realise it's not as cut and dried as some people have made it out to be.

Ok so clicks are not that great then I will have to get my head down and get the STP work done lol I wonder about some peoples ears sometimes I just had a track or should I say trash gave it a 1 and lost 1% for it oh dear great start.

Lol I don't think I could give a track 1/10 - I feel bad if I give out a 5 lol!!

my accuracy is only 84% i suck

sarahs999

OK, this really sucks, THey have changed the rating system as of today so that you get penalised for only voting in the 4-7 range, which was previously the only way to maintain accuracy. Now you haev to use the full range, or you are penalised.

What this means, as I said on teh other thread, is that though I'm still at 93% accuracy, I'm suddenly a one star scout again and earning in vouchers. How is that fiar? Wouldn't it have been fairer to announce that they are swithcing the system at x point, and that all ratings will be measured from then? How is it fair to penalise me on a new system for the way I used the old system? This has really peed me off, especially being back on damn vouchers again.

Nic25

I'm confused... why are we back on vouchers again? I've only made £0.05 real money!! How do I get back to real money again? Do I have to make another £5.00?

jasonwatkins

i've just got back actually and read about the carnage over there and i'm very scared - i haven't scouted today and i'm not sure i want to !!

they've clearly ignored the whole concept of trying to implement a fairer system and just implemented a penalty instead which isn't good. but then maybe that's what they want ? maybe they want to drive people away?
