Thank you, @senzenfrenz. I very much appreciate your understanding, and I shall try my best to answer the additional questions posed in your comment.
Given the sheer volume of “valid” entries, we find it necessary to put a loose cap on the number of such entries that make it into the “See Who Played List” each week. One measure that helps achieve such goals is to try and leave out the poorest of performances – even though they are perhaps “valid” entries.
Insofar as the “quality” aspect to which you referred, I suspect @luzcypher is using his best discretion to classify rather poor performances as not suitable for the weekly “See Who Played Lists.” I suspect such quality measures have more to do with general “entertainment value” and “listen-ability” as opposed to song structure or audio quality.
His reference to throwing some sloppy senseless chords together and calling it an “original” simply to get extra bonus rewards is sort of a scam in and of itself. Such entries are rather obvious, and that’s where @luzcypher’s discretion must come into play.
All of this initial “filtering” and “classification” falls exclusively on the shoulders of @luzcypher. He has to manually sift through more than a thousand entries per week to make sure they are first and foremost “valid,” following the general rules, and are not “scam” or “bogus” entries of any sort.
After that, he must then make hundreds of judgment calls in order to determine which of all these “valid” entries are suitable for the weekly “See Who Played List.” I am not aware of the precise mechanics; however, it is very much a “manual process” that he must go through to keep the “See Who Played List” of reasonable size and general quality.
Now, given such burden for one individual human being, it is natural to expect that he will make mistakes on occasion. In addition, we do have some level of automation that works off of @luzcypher’s manual inputs, and on occasion, that automation system goes down, and sometimes we don’t notice it’s down for several hours. As a result, even though @luzcypher’s manual inputs may have been flawless, a downed system of automated classification may allow several or more entries to fall through the cracks.
We had such an automation failure this week, and I think that’s why you and a small handful of random others were inadvertently left out of this week’s “See Who Played List.”
I trust in lifting the hood a bit for you, that you now have a better appreciation for what’s required of us each week, what can go wrong on a human level, and what can go wrong on a software level.
I also hope that my explanation of quality criteria was suitable in answering many of the related questions posed.
Thank you again, @sensenfrenz, I very much appreciate this open dialog.
Kind Regards,
As you are explaining it that way, I can easy understand what it is all about. Thank you very much for making all this transparent, leaves me a lot more satisfied.
