I must say that I don't like the voting system.
Many people just vote themselves, or rates songs with the worst grades to put their demo higher at the trend list :/
Maybe it would be a good idea to demand a comment from voting person?
What do You think??
Cheers

I think the problem is not with someone which votes for himself. If there will be enough people which will vote for his track, his one vote will be insignificant for average rating of the track. I think the problem is a bad voting system and especially cheaters which votes from different accounts. The situation gets worse with every next day and still there is no administrators reaction which makes me sad, because the true music artists which are on the ATB demo section do not deserves for that. This is my suggestion: If it's not possible to write a new voting system or it takes too much time to finish it, please at least disable temporarily a voting system and leave only the comments, "playlists" and "listened" counting.

imho, one account should only be allowed to vote for a track once. no there is that 24 hours waiting period, but i don't see the reason to be able to vote for the same track again. i mean once i voted, i'm not gonna change my opinion and vote again...

I absolutely agree with you, in addition to a comment demand a name of the voter should be a link that takes you straight in to his/her account, that is letting U compare his level of skills. The other idea for self voters, put a special mark next to the self voting person that would remain there for 1 week, so everybody would know that the guy has voted himself and it would be a disgrase, and they would laugh at him)

I believe the bottom line is, people just don't get the idea or purpose of the Demo Section. It's not about who has the most voted or rated song, or who's song is most in the top, even if some guy stays 30 hours just to make 200 accounts and vote for his own track, that doesn't mean Andre or other people will like it, it just means he used 30 hours of his life, useless.

As far as I know, Andre believed people to be more fare and careful with voting, that's why the system was not thought very carefully in the first place, well, some are, some aren't. Some still need some time to get some thoughts straight, or give up.

In the meanwhile, I agree with Suncatcher on the voting again part of the system, and I'm waiting for the update.

Joining you guys in this discussion.
For sure, if someone votes then #1 let his/her name appear and #2 he/she must provide reasonable comments.
otherwise it will never be a fair system... We are here to get an honest and constructive feedback, so if someone let's say is giving me 3 stars I truly wanna know why..? is it harmony / composition issue? or arrangement? or sound / mix quality? We all have different tastes but it shouldn't' prevent us from providing constructive and I repeat constructive feedback, instead of just saying "Oh I don't like it, it is not my taste, so I give this artist 2-3 stars"

I wish we create music that connects with people.
All the Best to everybody.

Your Friendly Neighbor from Canada.

Hello everyone. I totally agree with everyone here. There has been a epidemic with self-voting and well, to be honest, It\'s getting a bit stupid and constantly repeating.

I tracked my music for a couple days and noticed that someone has been purposely voting down my track. I mean, sure, it\'s nice that some of these people make good music, but what gives you the right to vote DOWN a specfic track just so you can jump a few spaces?

Personally, I think it\'s petty and unethical. Furthermore, whats so great that you want to be in the top 5 tracks anyway? To tell the truth, most of the track that make it even that far are not really that good. Only a select few that are TRUE artists are true to this and stay that way no matter what!

In short, the people that are down-voting tracks JUST for their own personal ends are just crying, sniveling little babies that need to taught a lesson in what it is to be a musician. Sure, you can show off what tracks that you produced, but in the end, what is it really worth? Simply that you can do it is not enough. What matters is the emotion, the original feel of the track. What matters is how you feel about the track.

The bottom line? Why don\'t you send it to the labels and see how they like it, huh? Even so, waster THEIR time and accept their rejection. Don\'t waste your time here, and don\'t contribute to the community. Andre put this here so that we can all be professionals about this, and thought he could depend on us. But you attention deprived, no music selling, lay-about bottom feeders that don\'t think and show off, need to grow up. Don\'t waste the world\'s and more importantly, our time.

Quit being Reactive, and start being Proactive!

I always get just 1Star from some Person i don?t know. Maybe he knows that i am an Austrian and he don`t likes that. But that?s his Opinion. I just don?t like this (Thanks at Subman for say that) Cheaters. Cause how can it be possible, that someone has about 6000 Listens and other ones just 600? I know i am not the best Musician (i am just an Beginner), but i think it?s the most important Thing that you like for Yourself your own Track. Don`t care what the Others say. The Others wan`t make you happy. Let us wait what will happen on this Side, until this, stay cool and love what you do. Cheers Mexton

Ok. That\'s just for your information: today I gave a "4" for a track that didn\'t have any votes. I stumbled on it accidentally. I really liked it and I wrote a comment to it. I wrote what I really thought. The track became #2 in the chart right that moment. That was funny enough... yeah, but not for long. In less then 2 hours it disappeared from the top list, because someone gave it a "1", so the track is "2.5" in raiting now. I suppose it was someone from the current top 5, because the top tracks returned to the order they had been listed in before my sudden interference

You know, that\'s sad no matter how you look at it. "NOTE: We are working on a complete revised Vote-System for better results." Oh, sure you are. For three years already. You think this rating gonna give you some privileges? You think people gonna respect you? You think you gonna get a RECORD DEAL? Dream on. For that you should have a bit of a gift. And truly talented people never gonna cheat this way, because they don\'t need this kind of recognition. Because they want to succeed with their work, not with their cheating skills.

The depressing thing for me as well is that I can\'t even delete my account and get the hell out of this website. Nobody\'s answering my e-mail requests. I guess I\'ll have to wait for ages as lots of users dbefore me.

Yes, I know that the demo section was occupied by cheaters long time ago, that admin doesn\'t do anything (if there\'s still any), that Andre himself doesn\'t care about the whole thing, that the world is unfair & there\'s no justice in it and so on and so forth. All I wanted is just to tell about this incident with the rating trick and express my opinion Though I\'m not even sure if this topic is still alive, but hope someone gonna read this.
