And what is your reasoning for this suggestion? You can't just make a point without explaining where your coming from in this kind of thread.

The rejection letter just has to say that the person didn't make it and link them to here for further help, literally. I think that if we had a small group of people writing up rejection letters with reasons and problems with the track, it would be very inefficient. Because, that would take a lot of time for the prelisteners to list even some of the things wrong with a track, and then another amount of time for the people in charge of sending the letters to write up the letter and send it. Like, we're talking get home from school at 4:00 and begin writing up letters, and by the 6:00 you'd be done, unless the prelisteners choose to write up the letters and the rejection-ers just copy paste, but then that'd be really time consuming for the prelisteners. Just linking the subject of the letter to here should be plenty fine, unless the person chooses not to come here, in which case it would be the persons own fault if he doesn't improve. It isn't Equestria Daily's job to help people improve, since, as we've stated before, EqD is mainly for promotion in terms of music. Helping beginners or novices improve is both the novice himself's job, and our job on MLR (by critiquing his/her music).

Sorry, I was trying to be as concise as possible because of too much wordiness in this thread, but I guess I was TOO concise.
The reason for thinking this is that if all music should be definitely pony-sounding to be posted on a pony fan blog. Even if that means that some perfectly good pony-inspired stuff gets left out. Instrumental is still fine for toastbeard and stuff, but it isn't what people going on EqD want to hear.

Which one? There are a ton of ideas being expressed on this thread in general, and some people like me, freewave, you, navron, etc, have expressed the majority of the ideas. The only problem, is that many of the ideas are being repeatedly argued over, even after a solution is made! So chances are, the idea that you're talking about with your comment, has already been assessed or chatted about, and the people who are coming here and reading see no need to chat about it again.Sonarch wrote:Did I not write my idea convincingly enough?

Yes, I'm pretty sure about that. Now we're just arguing about what's going to be inside the emails. I'm saying that they just need to saying "sorry, you didn't make it. Check out mylittleremix.com for help" or something simple along those lines. Others are arguing that they should include what the prelisteners found wrong with the song.Sonarch wrote:itroitnyah wrote:even after a solution is made!
So we came to a decision on rejection emails?
Sonarch wrote:Ah. I was thinking it would be good to include a simple reason, such as mixing or lack of pony, but simply referring them to MLR would probably be the best way to do it.
Sonarch wrote:Is it really that bad? I haven't been on the threads where people put their songs since i'm usually no help with criticism.
Matthew N. wrote:No it would not. MLR has been pretty much dead in providing feedback of any sort. Almost nobody cares about helping out artists with their WIPs. EqD simply needs to write exactly why the song was rejected. If they have enough time to write down their judgements on each track, then there will be volunteers to compile that and make artists know why it didn't get in. It's not that difficult of a task. Rewards? Countless.
Almost exactly what I was thinking, lol. But I almost never been in a thread where the thread stayed on topic for the entire thing, mostly they veer off topic and discuss something that is slightly relevant or not at all relevant.Cloud wrote:Poor Seth.
