How about an implementation of like button bumping algorithm?
Like how Instagram works, if a singer is on tune and the music is produced in high quality, her song will be bumped up based on the number of likes she received.
If a singer is out of tune, he can still post, he just doesn't get many likes, so his song is not showing on first page of the forum.
User Showcase forum should be promoting, not hurting PG Music sales.
Imagine if a new customer is interested in buying the software, and visits the showcase forum to check things out. After listening to a few songs bumped on the top and only finds those songs out of tune, is he still going to make a purchase?

I listen for the songs, for the ideas, for the use of BIAB, for the improvement, for the communication and for fun.
Man, you're full of suggestions, criticisms and comments but get a grip on life, the universe & the User Showcase Forum.
Some folk get a heap of listens and comments because they always present high quality productions of high quality songs.
Some folk get a heap of listens and comments because they present high quality songs.
Some folk get a heap of listens and comments because they leave generous/kind/helpful or supportive comments for other folk.
Some folk get some listens and some comments because that's how the folk on the forum feel at that stage/age/day/hour etc.
The forum showcases how some people with limited access to musical instruments, perhaps with limited access to money, with limited mixing/editing/tracking skills can create a song with BIAB. As such it's a BRILLIANT promotional tool to & for people who want to make songs. If something is out of tune it's likely the vocalist BUT BIAB doesn't make the vocals so pitchy vox aren't a slap at the program. Your perspectives are very interesting but in a place where most folk make music because they love to, because they simply MUST, because they want to get a message across or for what ever reason your perspective seem to be lifting the bar in a way that prevents folk doing what they want to do. Most hits songs from the 1940s to the 2000s aren't pitch perfect, aren't perfect. If you're after bland perfection you're in the wrong place.
