JPF Home Page Forums General Messages General Message Forum So Where Does Your Song Rank On Ourstage?

Bill,

It's a tidal wave of issues. Though your reports may have been exactly spot on, I am willing to bet just as there are idiots entering covers and claiming they wrote them, there are the same types of people filing bogus claims of wrong genre or covers when they aren't. Ourstage is getting well over a million unique visitors a month so you can only imagine how many of those flags are being filed each month and each has to be checked out by a real person. Then there's the reality that many folks don't have the first clue about what belongs in a genre, and that goes equally for those flagging as well as those entering. And in some cases, songs really are sort of in that grey area so a judgement call has to be made. But since the same person isn't making all the judgement calls, even those deciding may have different opinions. I see that all the time in our awards where I can't find 5 people who agree on a definition of a genre or where a song or album belongs.. let alone over a million...

I know from talking to Daniel it's a nonstop, neverending process. They do the best they can on it.
