I've been a bit confused with the activity on the Hardstyle Track Review sub-forum for a while now. We all know how few comments the majority of tracks receive there with most never getting a single reply.

However, whenever a track gets posted and the thread isn't labeled with the standard title of "Artist - Trackname", they suddenly get a ton a replies! Threads titled with "How good is my track" or "Is this track professional enough for label?" for whatever reason get an overwhelming amount of replies in comparison to the rest. Just look at the current first page:

This isn't just a coincidence either, look back a few pages and you'll see the same trend. Is it a big deal? Not really. However it tells me that if I want feedback, I should abuse this and not label my track when posting it and instead name the thread something random.

To prevent this my only idea is to either enforce that threads to be named with "Artist - Trackname" format, or create a sticky thread for "Completed Track Reviews" with same format as the snippt and kick feedback meaning you'll have to review the two tracks posted above before posting your own.

That's a good idea to have a forced template on the threads.
I'm grumpier than you.

Do people even read these?

Imo I find the idea of the stickied thread with obbligated feedback very good. I guess the topics with special titles are more appealing because the OP usually explains more specifically what the topic is about or what kind of track it is or which kind of feedback is wanted. The threads with random artist name and random title don't sound interesting because why would one just click on a random topic and comment the tracks? Imo the tracks which are just tracks to e posted are more likely to get feedback when they are in a thread as the next poster is forced to give feedback and also maybe someone feels like browsing that thread, finds an interesting track and feels the need to comment and for tracks being not just showed but need specific kind of feedback should be posted outside this thread. I am not sure tough if that system could easily be abused but maybe it is worth a thought, Just wanted to give an input from my side.

There is already a topic for that: state-news-and-announcements-f25/soundcloud-embed-t27496.html and even the solution in the topic. Too bad it takes months to do that which is just few minutes task. Reminds me of Hardstyle release policies :D
