    Spamming tracks and ratings

    Seems a trend lately is just to get as many tracks out as possible, sometimes 2-3 per day or like 5-7 in a week from the same creator. It's really not healthy for the TC feeds, and the problem that makes it worse that just about everything gets rated 4 stars those days even tracks that are highly mislabeled and are just a bunch of random obstacles or a cross-country 5 minute driveline.

    I'm not even playing some creator's tracks anymore simply cause of the spam, too much of it is just attention seeking, even with some okay tracks here and there.

    PS. And no matter how good or fast track builder, I always believe on quality over quantity cause you just cannot build and test 3-7 proper tracks per week unless you really do nothing else...

    Just my 2c.

    Much of what is seen is actually people reuploading the same few tracks every few days. I'm not a fan of it at all.

    Would be nice if there was some sort of cap on uploading.

    My not so secret superpower when browsing the TC (advanced) is filtering out immediately people that have a ton of bad tracks uploaded in the very same day. After seeing something like that, i don't even bother with checking their future tracks. Some people really stand out by doing that, so it's easy to notice them.

    As for ratings, 4 stars seem they don't mean a thing sadly, since you can see really bad stuff having that rating. While some RL Pick quality tracks have 4 or 5 stars next to them.

    I check every track in advanced browsing with the Last Week tab on. Getting a first impression from the rating and the thumb, if the thumb doesn't alienate me for some reason, i go further with trying it.

    A new trend as of late seems to be people releasing 2-3 near identical tracks with sometimes even the same name/picture, or slightly different, yet it in gets the highest rated feeds on all of them somehow...

    Come on people don't do this...

    1 upload per week should be the max. There is no way you can make that many strong tracks in a short period....maybe 2 per week.

    It would certainly prevent you from spamming your tracks again.......

    Many have been asking for at least a '1 per 48hrs' limit for ages. I don't understand why you wouldn't limit uploads, after what we have seen in TC.
