STBB #955 VOTE

Pretty much agree, beats weren't wierd enough...i'm guilty of not pushing myself enough in these things in the past or re interpretting the rules slightly...;)

I didn't get a chance to vote...also my beat wasn't included in the playlist for some reason?...i don't get alot of time to create music in my week so feeling kinda dissed by that...

yoo.. apologies to you and @RA LOOPS man 🙏 !...not used to the new website yet and i totally missed the last page..

however.. no need to feel dissed in any case my man .. .. i'm just a little confused.. looking at it ..it says your track was posted yesterday/Friday..

but i'm getting the idea that is not correct somehow ?

and remember ..voting is good for your health ;)

Hey all, I looked at the times on my side and seeing both entries posted after 6AM PST which is the entry cut-off time from my understanding (RA Loops also had their entry marked as non-entry maybe due to this?) I am curious if the reason for confusion is the way the rules were written when it says 06:00 PST due date -- I actually noticed this the other day and forgot to mention to Joa, but for many Americans this could be odd as we don't often use the 24 hour time system - so I would suggest including the AM part in the future (6 AM PST).

That said - I think Meldz is from UK so that may not have been the issue.. I did try and look at Soundcloud's page itself and it shows the upload also happening nearly the same time as the post which I think would have been past the deadline. Historically we've asked late entries to include a 'Non-Entry' tag and then they are added to the playlist 'sometimes' but we may miss it

@MELDZ this definitely wasn't intentional if it was indeed posted on time and we wouldn't want you to feel dissed! If some of my attempt to explain what I think happened is inaccurate above, please shoot me and Joa a PM so we can look into this a bit more. Joa seemed to have noticed a bug with the 'new post' widget on the front page that I'm having trouble replicating, so I'm not sure if these are related too..

Sorry for the trouble folks!

Nah you’re not a pain, it’s confusing on my side too, I’m very bad remembering time zone differences 😅 - I do think maybe we can have a new blurb outlying this better, trying with AI:
The Fine Print:
Upload your beat to Soundcloud, include “STBB XXX” in the title, and POST TO THIS FORUM by:
Thursday 15:00 CET / Thursday 14:00 GMT / Thursday 9:00 AM EST / Thursday 6:00 AM PST / Friday 00:00 JST
Try to leave as much feedback as you can and you will receive it back.
For easy browsing’s sake, you can also go to the STBB page: https://soundcloud.com/stbbforever
Label entries that are posted after the deadline as ‘late entry’ and entries that don’t comply with the rules as: ‘non-entry’ in your track title.
EVERYONE VOTES - by:
Friday 15:00 CET / Friday 14:00 GMT / Friday 9:00 AM EST / Friday 6:00 AM PST / Saturday 00:00 JST
