Ive bene swiging between 83- 89% since I started scouting again. the new prices aren't that great, I find it really hard to maintain three stars! Any tips anyone?
I agree with the comment re feedback, but then sometimes they do put warnings on like not long enough or whatever. Sometimes I am lost for words though lolI have had many Light Bulb Moments. The trouble is someone keeps turning the bulb off

Some tracks are harder to review than others, some are so bad that 1 line is more than adequate.
It looks like the way to maintain accuracy about 87 - 92% is to rate tracks in the 4-7 range, then with a track you like rate it 8, a track you dislike rate a 3. This should allow you to have 3 stars, though you wont get 4 stars this way.0 -

everyone getting the same amount, but also having the same amount again to invest - it would encourage more casual investing.
The thing is, that would still be 14p a track that STP has to pay. Whether it's vouchers or cold hard money, it all comes from STP's coffers. I do think though that eventually they will realise that 50% of a scouts earnings ought to go back into the site. I've alwayus been amazed that it's only £5. IF I were them I would make you go back to vouchers each time you withdraw money - stopping lots of little withdrawals, leaving their money in the bank for longer, sorting the bad scouts from the good, and making sure much more money goes into investment of the artists.
Thanks everyone for your congrats messages; I didn't get a chance to go on STP yesterday so happily I'm still ranking third, I completely expect this to change today though0 -
Anyone else having problems with it at the mo?I have had many Light Bulb Moments. The trouble is someone keeps turning the bulb off

Morning everyone am at work currently so will do more scotuing so thats 5p for 3 stars and then 7 for four
I doubt personally that the reductions will make people scout any less they may even just review more tracks sub standard to make it up
I agree with previous posts about sometimes seeing the reviews on the front page and just thinking oh my goodness your getting paid for something that of no help to anyone least of all the artists
Hope your all ok

Ok, i don't understand this - I started yesterday, did 35 reviews, still on 1 star. Went on today and when I hit 50, I went up to 2 stars. Now, once I hit 70 reviews it took me down to 1 star again! I've been improving percentage-wise and also been giving proper reviews. Any insights?
