February 26, 201213 yr Tell me about it, that Dandy's always so bloody late... **For those of you who can't pick up on it, Dandy is using sarcasm**
February 26, 201213 yr For the record. Tone Damli was not vetoed because a good 95% of the looning done for her on this forum is done by me and even then she has another 3/4 fans and that's it. Darin on the other hand is far more popular on Buzzjack as a whole and would have been heard easily without BJSC. Most people would never listen to Tone if I hadn't entered Look Back. I wanted to veto Sober as well, but we couldn't agree and it was left in because there was no unanimous or majority verdict. ALSO, all the hype for Look Back didn't really kick off until it kicked ass in Semi1. It was only 2weeks ago people, lets not go all Hollywood and start revising history to suit ourselves here. When we get a copy of the entry list each of us mentions tracks that we would consider red flags and we discuss them and are usually unanimous. All four of us sign off on the final entry list before we allow the semi's to be started so there was really no point in whining at Dandy* to start the semi's when we hadn't seen and approved the replacements for the two veto's. There was one track we did spend pretty much the whole week debating so we don't make spur of the moment decisions. The 4 of us have enough variation in music taste to red flag most of the really bad stuff but occasionally stuff may slip through. The veto was introduced to crack down on the horrendously obvious winners and release schedule entries (Like Love The Way You Lie and Silly Boy) whilst encouraging you to stick more with the spirit of the contest (discovering new music) than chasing wins with the cheapest thing you could find. With the exception of Sober, this has worked fantastically! Last month there were 6-7 songs initially predicted as possible winners and we've had some fantastically inspired winners since the introduction of the veto. The overall quality of the contests since the veto was brought in has risen and the spark has been brought back to BJSC. We were concerned going into the reset that with the falling numbers and interest this place would be a ghost town, but we've seen participation and interest steadily rise. I know that it seems like we're harsher some months than others and possibly inconsistent but we treat each potential veto as an individual case and do our best to ensure we make the best decision for the contest. It's not an easy job and we don't like vetoing entries (well, I personally enjoyed kicking Darin out! We were unanimous on the veto of Darin for the record) but we work hard to make BJSC fun and ensure that we keep the great community spirit we've enjoyed here since the start. This was more than an essay than I intended it to be, apologies for that. Basically, you can be annoyed that we've vetoed your track if you wish. We've always maintained a right to appeal where if you give us evidence that doesn't involve "such and such wasn't banned last month" we will look at what you've given us and reconsider. Although in cases where we are unanimous, like Darin, the probability of the verdict changing is rather low.
