New shiny slice the pie thread

Infact, yes... Every penny I have earned has/will be invested... So far i've earned £5.00 in vouchers, which has been invested in artists, and 55p, which I'm waiting until it hits the £1 mark before I can invest again... Every £1 I earn will be invested in artists should I feel they deserve it, and if no one catches my eye, then the money sits in my account.

Not everyone is in this for the money you know...

Oh, and for the record, I am also in debt... I just don't see STP as a brilliant money making scheme as I dont have the time to put towards it, so all money I do make, which isn't a lot, is invested.

*EDIT .... I wasn't meaning to come across as harsh, and It wasn't aimed at you. I just see a million and one people moaning about STP and how theyve only managed to earn 15p or the likes in a day... People should be grateful the service is there, and not get annoyed if they can't get their daily money fix, or bombard STP with emails about how its not working when they probably don't get back to work until the 5th...

Epiphany time! I found that if I clear the private data (cookies, remembered stuff, cache) in Firefox, it seems to have done the trick and I'm reviewing again atm.

MissWorzel - I think the main reason that people are (to quote you) moaning about managing to earn 15p in a day is because since STP v2's come into being, there are still bugs in the system, especially with the accuracy and star ratings as the rules on determining those in the software have been changed head over heels.

Yes, I use STP to earn some extra cash, if I land up on 1 star again, I'll be trying to build up some vouchers to invest, but I'll hate being on 1 star for ages when I'm trying to follow the STP suggestions for writing to reviews while a small number of the top scouts are including things in their reviews (like comments on recording quality) which STP have said that we should not worry about.

I also like hearing and reviewing new music too. But since they offer to pay us for our time and trouble, then that's good. Besides, they pay out primarily to encourage people to fund new acts anyway, it's an added bonus that you can withdraw the money for yourself if you need to.

it actually does appear now that 92% accuracy or more will get you five stars.

maintaining that, however, is another thing ...

Great, well, I'm stuffed then I'm only on 81.3% accuracy at time of writing, and I'm also hoping not to drop to 1 star at the moment as I could do with earning the money rather than vouchers.

Just starting scouting today - first time I've really done it properly, just keep doing a couple of songs here and htere, but hope to spend an hour or so today.

Been reading all the problems you guys have been having over the festive period, hoping they're mostly fixed now!!

As it stands, I look like this:

Silly accuracy is rubbish, but when it was in the 90s I went down to 1 star again!!
I'll post an update in a little while - wish me luck!! :rotfl:

Been working fine, for a bit, but now everyone of my songs is just coming over as white noise... like when your TV isn't tuned in properly.... went off the site and back on and it's still happening - has anyone else had this problem... :S
