The Song Fight Bulletin Board

Hello...

first time songfighter here.

I submitted my song for this week way before the deadline.. (Crashing Cars, Awarding Stars)

unexpectedbowtie_ccas.mp3 was the filename - 3.3mb... yet I've not appeared on the list.

Can someone enlighten me as to what's gone wrong?

Thanken

Titling the message with the right fight title would have been helpful.

ah.

I just dug through my emails and saw that I'd written 'Chasing' instead of Crashing..

Sorry about that. Typo

I tried so hard too...

Unless Spud enacted some huge change in the implementation process this fight, he still reads each e-mail addressed to Fightmaster, and if it contains an entry, he posts it. Given how the songs get processed for uploading (which is to say: manually, by a Spud himself), it seems unlikely that typing in a close-but-no-cigar title was the reason for your song's exclusion.

Seems to be up now, though, so I guess all is well.

well I mean I saw that was what had happened when I went to fix it but yeah Spud tells me that it was just that it was submitted so early that it got lost in all the spam. (and there was a hell of a lot of it.) That's one of the worst parts of the Song Fight submission process from the admin perspective. It doesn't help that Dreamhost's webmail interface is a pile of poo.

No botherrr.. I had checked everything so carefully. I can't believe that I managed to get the wrong title o_O

I'll hold off till nearer the submission date in future if that helps!

Cheers for sorting things out though.

Oh yeah, how dare you be responsible.

Oh by the way, welcome to Songfight and please be awesome.

that's true. and they're disabling my pine soon! reading the email via imap & thunderbird is preferable to the webmail. i think.

Yeah, the reason for that is kind of a sound infrastructure thing but there's a few other ways they could have solved it. It'd be nice if there were shell access on the new mail servers, so we could do proper procmail+bogofilter. Oh well. I switched to GMail for Domains a while ago and it's okay I guess.
