October 9, 20159 yr You could almost say the servers are going to... FREEZE :lol: That was a cold joke Bre. I almost SHIVERED at the joke, but that's another story ^_^
October 9, 20159 yr Here's the breakdown for the veto from earlier today: Style Of Eye Feat. SoSo - Kids 38 - Featured on Scandipop, Popjustice, The Guardian and a few other blogs - 10 points - Style of Eye finished 20th in BJSC 53 and 12th in BJSC 56 - 7 points (for top 15 finish) - SoSo finished 9th in BJSC 41 - 7 points - Style of Eye entered twice in the past 30 contests - 7 points - The song charted at #33 in Sweden and #76 in Germany last year - 7 points - Elliphant credited to this song on Scandipop, but uncredited officially - Charted by James - Style of Eye now a member of Galantis It is unlucky for this song to get so many points due to past appearances/successes of both of them, but it's just the way it falls unfortunately. I still think it would've been worth a veto even if it didn't have over 25 points.

October 9, 20159 yr I presume you were the sender of 'Fade Out Lines'? If so, it was primarily because of it's substantial European (and Australian) chart success and the fact it was a top 75 "hit" here. Iz also tells me that when it was entered a few months back it was vetoed, or was going to be vetoed until it was withdrawn anyway. But yeah, it's chart performance was just too good unfortunately! :(
October 9, 20159 yr Here's hoping Freeze isn't going into one of his lengthy periods of not logging in now then! :P Hey, I usually check the forum during confirmation time and voting and.. well, every once in a while :P Now that Freeze has went AWOL the servers are gonna crash again. I can feel it. But don't worry, I am here and I have confirmed two songs (in case the next one is getting vetoed as well. It's so typical of me nowadays since I'm not really familiar with what's had coverage and popularity and stuff :unsure: ) You could almost say the servers are going to... FREEZE :lol: That was a cold joke Bre. I almost SHIVERED at the joke, but that's another story ^_^ Haha! I'm not really laughing at this, but you guys are funny, though. Really funny :P
October 9, 20159 yr Sorry Freeze, we've just received your entry and it has already been entered in BJSC 61 by N-Lazone! :( (Chris Lake feat. Jareth's 'Helium' for those interested!)
October 9, 20159 yr I think 'check your entry hasn't been entered before' ought to be emphasised a bit more next month :')
October 9, 20159 yr Sorry Freeze, we've just received your entry and it has already been entered in BJSC 61 by N-Lazone! :( (Chris Lake feat. Jareth's 'Helium' for those interested!) Oh of course, I just noticed! Sorry about that! :drama:
October 9, 20159 yr Oh of course, I just noticed! Sorry about that! :drama: Haha don't worry, you most certainly haven't been the only one to do that this contest! :lol:
October 9, 20159 yr The reason might be that the long list in alphabetical order hasn't been updated in a good while in the Songs of the BJSC thread. So I think people see that a song is not on it and think they can send it.
October 9, 20159 yr I think 'check your entry hasn't been entered before' ought to be emphasised a bit more next month :') I am usually checking the entries up on Google, to at least try and see if they have some major coverage somewhere, or if they are featured anywhere on Buzzjack (like personal charts) and any other reason that would occur, really. I did a hasty job at this point, though, since everyone was waiting on me.. and that probably made me misinterpret the search results *sigh* Again, I'm sorry about this!

I wasn't criticising you in particular, it's just this has happened 4 times this month somehow! :lol: You weren't in the contest 'Helium' was originally sent so it's understandable you wouldn't remember it anyway.

So I think people see that a song is not on it and think they can send it. We decided that it's pretty pointless to keep updating the alphabetical order list these days as it's a lot of extra work, and all browsers nowadays have a "search on page" or Ctrl+F function so people can check for previous entries that way - and it's much quicker than scrolling down too. But yeah, I guess keeping it there while out of date could have confused a couple of people!

Oh, Okay :) Aah, right, that would explain why I didn't remember it, at the least :P

So I think people see that a song is not on it and think they can send it. Yeah I make a habit of CTRL Fing the entries thread and if I can't get a result I assume it hasn't been sent and would attempt to send it. It's basically the mods responsibility to keep it updated and not to assume we're going to remember all the entries submitted in the last couple of contests that are yet to be added.
