Sorry if this question has already been asked about the new rules...

Would you be aloud to send a song by an artist who is in a group that has a forum on Buzzjack?

In what context? If, for example, you were considering a track from Cheryl Cole's album, then that'd be a nayyy, but I think stuff like Michelle Williams et al wouldn't be much of a problem.

 

Actually, I'll clarify the rules a little. If it's been a year since any of the tracks have done these things (i.e. gone onto the playlist/reached top 5/40/whatever/been released on albums from artists with AFs) then they're permitted. In the case of albums, then shall we say it's allowed if it's been a year since the release of the final single from the album?

I was thinking perhaps of sending Jade Ewen and one of her unreleased tracks.

If it's unreleased, it's eligible.

 

They ain't ever gonna see the light of day otherwise.

Oh yeah, that'd be fine.

And we're having our first good result :kink:

So we're taking the contest back to it's roots with these rules? You mean like when Maneater came second? :D

I don't think I've ever said we're taking it back to its roots? I believe that was YOU/a few others who said that bbz :smoke:

 

Plus, everyone knows that I thought the first few contests were dire. TIS ALL ABOUT XV.

As previously stated I don't believe entries should be limited in any way but I appart from adding a wee bit of confusion over some entries during the confirmation process I don't see these rules having a major negative effect on the competition.

 

That said I don't think this will help the reducing number of participants in the contest as the majority of people who don't stick around aren't the most original of contestants.

It's more than a dislike. I really f***ing hate it.

 

It was ass raped on here pre-contest. iirc

 

Girl and the Robot hadn't been ass-raped pre-contest considering Ben had reserved the song BEFORE he'd even heard it :mellow:

James, don't nick my thoughts please ¬_¬

Part of me is glad, cos I'm used to finding entries and now the obvious ones are banned hopefully I and others who find unknown songs will have a headstart for a contest or two whilst people find the best way to find new music :P.

Agreed, i remember that time actually! The only 'hype' it all caused is that everybody wanted to hear the new Robyn song. :o

Which is why iirc, because i wasn't 100% :(

is there a rule to protect the songs that you have it on your national thread from stealing when reservation opens???

if there was, then there wouldn't be EPIC fights at the start of each reservation thread :lol:

That is why I now don't even pre-announce them.

 

I've even taken to keeping them out of my Personal Charts for a week or two if necessary.

 

 

Entries i fancy to send in the future are usually the ones that other people aren't interested in :nocheer:

I never enter my entries in my chart until I have them reserved tbh :lol:

The one I want to send is in my chart, hopefully nobody cares :lol:
