  • the main thing they're looking for is for you to be honest and constructive.

    don't just say "it's rubbish i hate it"

    say something like "well it's not really for me because the singer hasn't got a good voice and the lyrics are silly". That sort of thing.

    it's also best to try and ignore music you don't really listen to - if you don't like hip hop or heavy metal, as an example, then don't review it - just re-start the scout room and try again because they won't like it if you write "i hate all heavy metal so this is rubbish".

    also, it's not fair to the artists as well, as they do read every review they receive.
  • fantastic .. just gained my 3rd star and am now earning 7p per song, and i'm up to 418th in the overall rankings :D:D:D

    and, for the record, i've reviewed 338 songs so far. probably going to do 22 more today to make 60.
  • I got moved down to 2* despite having over 90% accuracy rating and having tipped some artists who got funding eg Laura Stevenson. I'm not happy with STP at the moment and got a rude and sarcastic email from them when I asked why they moved me down.

    have you been regularly reviewing ?

    can't understand why they'd drop you down like that ..
  • Just joined and TBH I am not that arsed about the stars. It is a good way to spend some time, I am finding some good songs and am earning a few pennies as well. Certainly a more enjoyabe way to spend time than some review sites.
  • I'm really enjoying this so far, i have only started scouting on there today but as someone else said it's an enjoyable way to literally make a few extra pennies. If i do this till Xmas it should all add up nicely :cool:
  • Not been on SLP for a while. Just started up again and on hitting submit for one of my comments I got a message pop up about 'wow how did you learn to type that fast' sort of thing. Anyone else had that? I can touch type so type quite fast, but not sure if the message is just a fun way of saying hang on a sec for the system to catch up, or if they are implying I'm doing my reviews too fast :-s

    Student again now and trying to fight the debts that are creeping up again :eek:
  • I got the same message, I think its implying that you are cheating or somthing doing them too fast, but I type all day at work so Im just a quick typist, they are being too suspicious!
  • some people do get that message, and some have even had messages telling they're typing about three hundred thousand words per minute :)

    copying and pasting a review from notepad into the box sometimes does it, but it's just the software trying to catch up - it's not being mean on purpose :)
