For example, I've just been the first person to review a track, and lost a whopping 4% accuracy in one track.

Oh well, that £100 looks and AWFULLY long way off now:rolleyes:

I don't understand this. If you're the first person to rate a track you're 100% accurate aren't you? They've got nothing else to compare it to; as I understand it accuracy is determined by how far you agree/disagree with others (which as I've said before is a weird way to find 'good' scouts - what if everyone else has crap ears and you're a genius?!)

Maybe I've misunderstood but losing 4% is just outrageous.

What's going on? I've just noticed that I'm not earning money any more and am back to earning vouchers! I got to £35.97 and it seems to be stuck there. Meanwhile my voucher points are up to £5.10. That's not what it says in teh FAQ at all - it says that the first £5 are vouichers and after that your earnings are 'cold hard cash'.

Oh my god, and it's put me down to one star from three! And I'm still on 93% accuracy!

No, you're quite right. I'm not Stephen Hawking, but I've got a good enough grasp of maths to reason that that should pull my accuracy UP by several percent. And although I might be an ancient curmudgeon, I don't think my ears are far enough up my fundament not to spot pearls amongst swine (and vice versa).

If I get bumped down to vouchers, I'm off. Seriously.

I've had a number of short (less than 60 seconds) tracks already today!

1st - 9 seconds
2nd - 57 seconds
3rd - 30 seconds
4th - 53 seconds
5th - 35 seconds

Okay, so how am I supposed to review them if they're less than 60 seconds long and you can't review a track until at least 60 seconds of it have been played?

I've let STP know about this, and I'm waiting for their answer.

MBW - I've been having the same problem, if you look at the last review made it was over 10 minutes ago which is weird for STP. Surely they shouldn't let artists enter tracks less then a minute?

Just got an email from STP that says:

[begin quote]
[FONT=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial]Apologies for the short/unreviewable tracks in the Scout Room, we've just turned on the track priority thingy that serves tracks with the fewest reviews first. We thought we had weeded all these out, but obviously not
[/FONT][end quote]

So it's caused by something they've been working on and they're going to fix it for us.

Woo hooo

Just logged on to do half hour before tea and im on 4 stars!!!!!!

I was on 3 when i left last night but im not complaining no doubt ill lose it in a minute lol


Lol 30 seconds after this i listen to a pile of crip crop and vote it a 2 and i mean totally depressing noose hanging stuff and lose my 4th star lol

and... 3 tracks later im up to 4 stars lol

Think ill just see how i do after tonights slicing rather than watching it every time

And we are back to normality now it seems, so the STP team have fixed the problem with the less than 60 second tracks, which is cool, now I can get reviewing...

I had a half day from work today, and I was hoping to have been reviewing for at least an hour by now... Oh well, got some time to make up here!

I went up to 3stars eariler and I'm back down to my 2 stars now. Oh well, I made the most of it and managed to make £2, better than nothing.
