New shiny slice the pie thread

this also happened to me. It seems to me a bit abitrary how they rate you, and i assume its a computer picking up on key words and repeated words.

Ah right, thanks! It is a bit silly as there are only so many words you can use! Might have to go fetch a thesaurus

It's gone back up to 2 stars now thankfully....I'll have to watch out I'm not as repetative as some of the music on there lol

This is down to not using the full spectrum of ratings, and just rating between 4-7 (in a 30 track spread)

OMG, and back down to 2. I'll give up on this now. Just trying to find the original slice the pie thread with word suggestions on it, but i can't find it.

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?


Thanks!

See my reply regarding the spread of ratings above, this impacts on your stars, and consequently your earning potential.

Its not your words its your overall rating practice. Make sure you rate using the 1-9 range and you should find you stabalise, though your accuracy will be a little more erratic at times.

To be four or five star scout you need to be both accurate and use the full range. There's an element of luck (in terms of the order you get songs fed to you).
