what i don't like over there at the moment is that it seems that anyone can reach 5 stars at the moment - someone got there with only 1,900 reviews.

i think it's a real slap in the face for the scouts who have been there for months and reviewed over 10,000 songs.

I even read of someone reaching 4 stars on the back of only 500 reviews - it took me 1,500 reviews to get to that point so you kind of think all your work has been undermined.

i personally think 'the spread' kicks in only when you get over 90% accuracy - under than and you'll be fairly safe - but then i may be wrong

Jason I am on 4 stars, well probably briefly, as I havent started today, but I've only reviewed 467 tracks. They did say on their post though that they have dramatically reduced the amount of reviews you need to reach the next level.

They have probably done that due to the fact that people will be losing / gaining stars on a regular basis.

OK, can confirm that 90 is the accuracy point to get up to four stars

i can confirm that this is 100% not true

Have you used the entire spread too? It seems a little messed up, but I have gone down to 3 stars when less than 90, and then back to 4 when above 90.

Hopefully things will settle down, but I guess we have to wait and see.

there seems to be an emerging theory that 'the spread' actually falls in to 3 categories.

0-3 - really bad
4-7 - average
8-10 - near perfect, professional quality

i've been scouting most of the day actually and i've got my 4th star back and i'm currently on 91.53% accuracy.

the more i do it, the more i'm getting the hang of 'the spread' so it's doing me a favour in the long run i guess. it also depends on the run of songs you get - i've had about 30 songs that all fall into the average category, so you really don't have much of a choice when you're trying to use the full spread.

*edit

it's annoying really because i really could do with a few cover versions or illegal songs to rate zero to really kick 'the spread' up ..

I'm up to 4 stars and have only done 200 reviews, so not sure how this new system works! I was on 3p per track a couple of days ago. Still whatever's going on, it's benefitting me so I can't complain :S

ETA: I was on 91% and 4 stars, have now gone up to 91.3% and dropped a star. Weird.

Evening folks!

Having my usual go at slicing tonight,. Managing to hold onto my 3 stars tonight with a lot of reviews hitting between 5-8 . I did rate something a 1 as it was purely crap and i mean utter which dropped me about 4% and i just think... .whoever rated this higher must have been deaf:rotfl:

Im on £28.15 right now would love to hit £30 by end of tonight as im working till 1am so it is possible but its a lot of trash in the meantime!

Edit @ 20.40... had enough for tonight i know its not the right mentality at times but as much as i dont mind hip hop its every ruddy song.. so im giving up tonight before i start writing pants and getting penalised for it.
My stats at end of business tonight are...

• Scout rating:
• Reviewed: 761
• Average rating: 5.20
• Tips available: 21
• Next tip in: 4
• Scout earnings: £30.51 / v0.00
• Accuracy: 84.19%
• Ranking: 592nd

So i hit my target so im happy with that xx

ok, i can probably honestly say i'm finished on STP for christmas - probably realistically only until next monday ....

went out with a bang though - somehow managed to do 134 songs today :eek:

anyway, my total earnings for December are £130.18, if anyone wanted some continued inspiration
