Guide to vote in Tabs Pending Approval (TPA) page!

Views: 173
Comments: 11
Ok,guys.

Since you have atleast three tabs approved in UG,you're now able to vote for reject or approve a tab in tabs pending approval page.

This is the way how a tab get denied or accepted:

Your Vote--->Tab moderators vote--->Approver team--->(Remove/Add to) Archive

Current tab moderators here are:

aig91
UtBDan
Greg Harper
PJVILL
FatKidsOnMopeds</3

Here are some notes that help you vote correctly:


1-If you're not sure about a tab,DO NOT vote for it.Leave it alone.
Just vote for certain tabs.



2-That would be great if you just leave an accurate comment when you vote to reject a tab.

Something like:
uhh,nooooo......
WTF............
etc

Is not helping.




3-Some users try to submit a tab with a little bit change
in song name or artist name or the lable is misspelled and search engine won't catch that and you see the line:

Approved Tabs For song name...

Is empty!
So be more picky about song and artist name before you vote.
Or some people add "The" before song name or add "Band" after band name.

For example:

Tonight Tab by Fm Static Band


4-Intro and solos:

If we already had a perfect version for a tab,DO NOT vote to approve an intro or just a solo for the same song.

But!

However intro and solos are not much welcomed here,if we don't have a tab for a brand new song,approving the intro/solo is reasonable.


5-Always check the other existing version(s) before you vote:

If a tab looks accurate or you're trying it on your guitar,that doesn't mean it's 100% acceptable,maybe it's a copy of existing version or it's just a correction for approved tab with minor changes that automatically make it deniable.

Also for GP and PT versions.If they sound great DO NOT vote to approve them before checking the others.



6-Do not leave unfair votes/comments:


This means if someone voted to reject your tab,you shouldn't vote to reject his/her tab if it was acceptable,just for flaming.Also if someone voted to approve your tab do not vote to approve his/her tab just to be freindly.

Also if you hate a band,don't vote for its tabs.

We're trying to make UG tab archive the best tab archive in the net and your correct votes help us a lot :)



7-Sorry to say this but:

DO NOT vote like a sheep...
If you see a tab has 9 votes to approve/reject,don't vote for it before checking it yourself.

8-Spam tabs:
Do not vote for obvious spam tabs.There's no need to vote for them because they won't be accepted!

I appreciate all your helps.

If I see a wrong vote,first I'll send you a pm about that.If you didn't care,you will be warned then....You won't be able to vote in tpa anymore.

I dunno much about tabs, I don't write them and rarely use them.
It looks like you're trying to get the users more involved
in cleaning up the spamming / scamming on the tabs.
I'll tell a few people I think might be interested, like Annie and RaiLeff
and I will keep this blog in mind
whenever I see people talking about these kind of issues.

If there is a group for tabbers, maybe you should post this
or put a link to this blog the group?
