January 9, 201510 yr Our stance on the bans is the same as they are at any point of the year. You don't want to be banned in the next contest, then vote in this one :magic: If there extenuating circumstances, and we're told at the time, then we will not enforce a ban (and there are examples of this from the past year). I know it's a long time at the end of the year and I do understand the whole new slate idea, but the president is something we'd rather avoid. Punishments rolling onto TBO after the last contest are futile because only 50-60% of people actually participate in TBO so would be no real deterrent. I dislike forcing people to sit out contests, despite what you might think, as it deprives people of new music and isn't really in line with the spirit of the contest. However, without the deterrent the non-voting rates got a bit too high for comfort. The deterrent works, it ensures that after you've gone to all the effort of finding a track and then avidly listening, scoring and ranking all the others that the same respect is paid to your entry.
January 9, 201510 yr Author I wasn't entirely clear. I assumed that Math was referring to the end of voting in the Semi's and Finals rather than the end of confirmation. By the time we veto everything there is no point in setting a set time to launch the start of the Semi's I was referring to the Semi and Final votes. I can do the Confirmations in advance and post it from the car as I leave. Sorry for the confusion ^_^

January 9, 201510 yr once confirmations open can the vetoes be revealed? I've no idea who this s****r is but then half of vetoes I'm unaware of, lol.
January 9, 201510 yr I've no idea who this s****r is but then half of vetoes I'm unaware of, lol. Check a recent Radio 1 playlist :ph34r:
January 10, 201510 yr Check the Radio 1 playlist :ph34r: oh I know who you're talking about now, and I'm very aware of that song, it's even in my personal chart! would've made for a great entry but is obviously far too cheap to be entered now.

January 10, 201510 yr As much as these are great songs, they don't really have a place in BJSC. Will you name and shame? :o
January 10, 201510 yr The naming and shaming isn't something we do as we aren't aware of who sent what (I wouldn't put those people in that position and shaming them on spotlight anyways myself). It's up to those who sent the songs to reveal themselves, and whether they wish to or not.
January 10, 201510 yr Both of those might have been acceptable a couple of contests back but not now. Both good calls.
