hi, i remember reading on this thread ages ago about roughly how many tracks you had to review before moving up a star level, was wondering if anyone could help me out with this?

hiya

well it's not absolute fact but I think the earliest people have got 2 stars is 30, 3 stars is 100 and username above suggested 1500 for the forth, but that seems like a steep leap so I don't know whether that's the earliest possible. I'm only on about 300 reviews so if its true then I won't be getting my fourth for a while. Obviously your accuracy and writing content/length will impact it too!

hope that helps

I recall Miss Pixie being one of the first to get her 4th star:T, and I think it was around the 1000 mark. Having said that, they may have moved the goal posts what with all the new StPers joining...

So to summarise

I've done over 1300 tracks, but my average is about 87.28%. I think you need to be over 90% to deserve a 4th star... If I get over 90% I'll let you all know!:D

damn, so at 157 tracks and still on 2 stars I guess my writing quality leaves a little to be desired

Ive reviews 1477 and im still on two stars!! However I don thtink the accuracy thing should be a part of it as I rate artists how they truely deserve to be, not between 4-7 just to get my next star! Otherwise its pointless no?

I totally, TOTALLY agree. It's a fine line for me, personally, as I like hearing new music, like being able to give feedback, but it's also nice to be paid a decent amount for it.
I tend to rate naturally between 3-7, and if something's stonkingly good, I'll rate it higher, and often tip it. If I like it enough, I'll even buy shares in the album.:o Not very MSE I guess.
Of course if it's a cover or appallingly rubbish, I will rate it lower.
I think what I've had to learn is not to rate to extremes. When I started I was a bit '10' and '1' happy! :rotfl:

I'm the same, currently at just under 91% however that takes a hit when I have a run of trash, then takes a long old age to build up again. I have rated several 2's, one 10, and several 8/9s so I guess I am quite fortunate my accuracy is actually as high as it is.

Think my accuracy is about 83%, so not brilliant, but I have explained as to why.
They should find another way, other than accuracy, to judge us on what star to give.
