How do I view what others have rated tracks to get my percentage up?Is the star system based on number of tracs reviewed and accuracy or something else?

You can't see what other people have scored tracks purely because its meant to be an individual thing, the bands wouldnt be getting a true representation of the publics opinion of their tracks if all scouts scored the same thing thats why bands scores for reviews will be anywhere in the scale

The star system as i see it, is the accuracy of your ratings, number of reviews and the quality of them too .somebody that rates a number of tracks but only writes a line is more likely to stay on the lower stars and not progress, a person that rates the same amount of tracks but writes four lines is more likely to progress

Unfortunately i do think its a bit of luck on the accuracy scale one person will hear a track and give it a 4,another will rate it 7 now if the majority of scouts also rate 7 then the scout that rated 7 will have a better accuracy than the one that gave it a 4 if that makes sense
Although i honestly think that accuracy should have no bearing on anything someones opinion is their own

Just started this and currently on 1 star and 33p lol. I just wondered what the tip thing was all about.

patchwork_cat

yes I agree, although particularly in all genres if it isn't your taste you will rate down. No I just wondered if I was overly generous or mean! What is your average rating - mine is 5.2

I think is currently 5.4 but thats because a lot of them tracks in the uk bands impressed me, I have a feelingit will do down because i dont like hip hop

Kdean i'm just looking for a post i made about tips i'll copy and paste it give me a tic

you get tips for a certain amount of reviews you do
Basically the tracks to next tip is the amount of tracks you have to review untill you get another tip

You can use your tips to back bands, so youll neeed to go to your watchlist and then next to everyband youve put there (the ones in the uk bands) it will say use tip

The band receive tips from scouts, the bands that receive the most tips go forward to the showcase which gives them a chance to go to get financed

Really tips are what you use to back the bands that you like

I'm so glad scouting is back up again, I really enjoy it, and the little bit of cash is just a bit of a bonus...although I don't think I'm going to enjoy this one as much, as I really loved the UK bands room.
