It has no influence whatsoever It’s probably not a coincidence either, just likely that more people have noticed you over time.

Congrats Dirk, great to know you’re on the up and up!

Hi Sky, its not fun, but any concern like this is a matter that would need to be addressed to support, as it is against forum rules to call out items/authors publicly on the boards. The link was therefore edited by requirement. Thanks for understanding.

Hey guys, It’s true that there is a lack of clarity on this topic. However, in the absence of black and white rules, I can only give you this feedback.

Item discussion is fine if there is something specific to discuss, and when posted in healthy way. And yes, generally, the moderation staff may allow a new user to announce a new/first item.

Discussing rejections is clear cut, we can all agree on that in principle.

For approved items, however, it becomes an issue when posting becomes a visible habit. Posting a simple.. “Look at my track, please rate!” for several recent approvals in a short span, especially without opening the ‘Discussion’ on any specific point, is problematic.

Consider these examples:

1. Check out my latest track! What do you think?
2. Check out my first pack!
3. Our best selling items!

Frequently posting like this without stimulating an actual discussion would tend to be perceived more like self-promotion, so if that seems to become a regular occurrence, then yes, threads will be removed or locked

On the other hand, consider:

1. Drum techniques – Here’s a track that was approved, I tried a new approach to mastering drums. Anyone have any feedback? Do they sound too compressed on your side? How do you approach compression on your own percussion? Got an example?

2. Better piano? – Here’s one of my tracks I’m thinking of modifying.. I want to get a better piano sound.. Do you feel it’s worth improving? What’s the best way brighten piano in the mix? or maybe I should do a techno version!

3. Vocals or not? – I’d appreciate some opinions here. Listen to the vocal stabs on this one. I like them, but I’m not sure if they would be as appealing to buyers, for general commercial use. I can always have both, yes, but which one do you think I should play first on the preview to please buyers sooner? Thoughts?

These types of posts will stimulate actual Item Discussion, which is what the section is all about.

Of course, it’s still subjective. A post here and there for genuine discussion is fine, when an exchange is generated. That said, seeing this approach used on an abnormally regular basis could still be construed as a means to take advantage of Item discussion, just to get those clicks.

Perception of intent is the key thing here, and depending on what moderators see, these instances would be judged on a case by case basis if they become regular.

That’s just my opinion for you guys, Hope it clears up questions. Community management may chime in with more tangibles.

Hi all, I read the article and found it very enlightening. I am interested in a long time to do some version of classical music, would be interesting to have a reference list or any of the songs that we cover versions. Maybe someone knows something. Thank you!

Most classical pieces are worldwide public domain works. You can make remixes or alternate versions of worldwide public domain pieces without worry. The article refers to works which are still protected by copyright. If you have any specific questions regarding this, feel free to email via support. Thanks Allegro

Yep, it will stay the same.

Why are people so impressed when Envato does things they should have done light years ago?

Light years is a measure for distance, not time.

Back to your question, Envato is great, and the team is doing a very good job to keep it a high-quality market. nuff said.

Love this one.

And yet, time is relative.

So is excellence, accomplishment, success, and just about everything we can conceive of subjectively.

Just relatives.

That ‘just’ means both “only”, and “balanced in proportion i.e. A just cause”.

And aren’t we are all just relatives here?

All of the community, one way or another, are just relatives to one another, be it buyers, authors, visitors, staff. Our degree of expression of satisfaction is.. yeah.. just and justly relative, to our user experience, based on expectations and outcomes, and in some part due to the attitudes we ourselves project, I imagine.

Why are some people so impressed? Because they are happy? Better late than never? Hope for future? I think it’s been summed up by the many responses in this thread.

All I can say is I know Envato strives for excellence, yes. Does it always hit the nail on the head every single day? Should some things have happened sooner? You know the answer.

Which would you rather come first, though? The fail, or the win?

Concretely though, The hectic pace of managing so many ongoing projects means there is chaos in any attempt to improve order, as with most growing systems, and due to the relative and sometimes shifting priorities of issues, it can mean that intentions and plans don’t always eventuate in a completely predictable manner. Yet when they finally happen, often delayed, people will either be happy, or see it as too little too late, or anything in between.

I guess that’s why we get this flurried mix of voices time and again.

In this case, The way I see it is that without a negative expression to begin with, there’s one less opportunity for positive reinforcement, to celebrate the virtues of this community.

Just sayin’, it’s just relatives.

So thanks Landon, you’ve brought out the good in quite a few people here, in a roundabout way. Reverse win.

All hail the Master of the Internets!

Yup. It’s sometimes slower on the weekend. There can be longer pauses, saturday and sunday, if reviewers go outside, or do stuff with family or something. Don’t worry, it’s fine.
