bob sinclar + thomas jack

i'm hardly going to snub your entries over a trivial misunderstanding :lol:, especially not when your taste in dance music is so impeccable :heart:

i'm glad common sense finally prevailed with tim's entry~ :D

good idea in theory, which i support, i just wonder how workable this is going to be in practice ~ won’t this just drive ‘illicit’ presumptive entry sharing ‘underground’? this doesn’t deal with the root cause of the problem, that people are itching to see what other people have entered, by reducing the length of the confirmation period you would reduce the temptation to talk about entries~

what with a smiley, which clearly shows the intention was not to get at you?! if i wished to make that point, i’d have chosen a much more blunt style of delivery! in any case i don’t see how my protestations or your histrionics have advanced this discussion tbh!

it seems to me that leww is jumping to assumptions; i do not see how i have besmirched his integrity by asking a straightforward question?! where are these big opinions?! all i see is a number of pertinent issues raised about the fairness of the veto~

:blink: :lol: i guess i hit a nerve :heehee: funny i must've imagined you trying to defend this veto, even though it's hardly a surprise to most people what you've entered when it comes to the semi final thread~ <_<

i don’t see why tim has been effectively made to grovel to keep his entry, when following their own framework the mods had no business vetoing it in the first place~ :rolleyes: there’s a huge difference between lip service and actually listening to and taking on board feedback! :mellow: ALL feedback should be gratefully received, wherever it falls in the forum, not just in one ‘suggestions’ thread :banghead:. this is a message board, which people frequent in their leisure time, not some remedial mba project ~ it’s this cussed intransigence and tunnel vision, which appears to be deeply ingrained into some of the mods psyche, which is the root cause of 99% of the difficulties and friction in this forum~

so you're saying that you didn't vote to veto tim's song? ;)

i think you've hit the nail on the head!!!

buying a download requires considerably less effort (a few clicks) than giving a song the maximum permitted support (10 streams a day/70 listens in a week) on a streaming service~ :heehee:

EXACTLY ~ but not everyone has been on amazing top3 run of form like tim has recently~

this does seem very much like picking on tim because he's enjoyed some bjsc success recently ~ the confirmation period is far too long anyway to expect steely mouthed silence about what we’ve entered when people are more socially connected than ever. funny the notion of fair play goes out the window when it suits the mods, for example the anniversary entry debacle, which was allegedly only brought in, so one mod could enter a sugababes album track at some stage :rolleyes:~ it's patently obvious some bjsc mods cannot stand or take any kind of feedback~ if the majority are silent it's because they've seen the reaction and inaction valid concerns about the framework receive~ <_<

of course they are, and a special widget would be a lasting momento and badge of honour, but reaching a personal milestone shouldn't allow that country to have an unfair advantage over people on their 7th or 85th contest~

i doubt more than 2-3 people actually look at the spinninrecords.com site on a regular basis, spinnin' (and other dance labels) are just so prolific (releasing 15-20 records a week) that people will come across their music more often than labels that only release 12-15 a year~ the intent of framework is clear, it’s written in black and white, it mentions only blogs, besides it's not consistent at all if you don’t treat all popular labels the same~ if you want to extend the remit of that rule, update it before the next competition, don’t make up new flimsy interpretations ad hoc!

the thing that gets my goat is that the veto framework is applied so rigidly and zealously, without common sense at times, for the presumed goal of keeping a level playing field, yet when it comes to these absurd anniversaries fair play is thrown completely out the window~ relaxing the rules for everyone on a competition anniversary e.g. bjsc 100 would still keep a level playing field, special widgets for nation anniversaries would be a far better and fairer personal accolade to reward long service~

hardly surprising spinnin' records has some content on its website that promotes their own releases (but what label doesn't and where are the 'blog' mentions for sony, polydor, atlantic etc?) ~ that's hardly the same thing as a 'blog' :rolleyes: ~ the reason spinnin’ is relatively popular is that they produce 15-20 releases a week through a myriad of sub-labels~
