How common are (serious - bootlegs rated at least 1 star off their "actual" rating) incorrect sound ratings of a bootleg? Would you say 25 % of the bootlegs on U2-start suffer from this, or is it 10, or maybe 5 % - even less?

    Remember that it's very subjective - what might be a 2-star to someone could be a 3.5 to another, depending on what people go for with regard to bootleg quality.

    Indeed. Just a few bootlegs have incorrect ratings, most of them are fine and always in a range of 1 star (max or min) from what others would say. We always have the rating round table if even we can't decide a proper rating.

    Yes but obviously people are allowed to give their opinion, keeping in mind the definition I made to have some sort of precision. Of course it's subjective. I don't expect everyone to think alike.

    Now if you could please reply to the question at hand instead of pointing things out. I can't change the fact that it's subjective.


  4. Download them, check them and report us back. Should keep you busy for a while.

    I can't reply to your question, how would I know that? You think I have a hidden column with real-rating and a public-rating column? If you think a rating is miles wrong, just report the date and your suggestion here in this thread, anything else you post here is useless, I can't do anything with it.

    Just listen to them, and report back. Enjoy!

    Aww man, a rating was wrong? Damn. Give me your credit card or paypal details and i'll sort you out with a refund.

    Whats that? It's all free? It's all other peoples hard work that pays for it?. Damn we have to work harder

    Download, listen and report if you don't agree.

  7. No, 'cause you've just answered your own question lol.
  8. I didn't want a definitive answer - just an estimate. Nor did I raise the question to complain about anything, so stop over-reacting zippy. Out of curiousity I'd like to know approximately, based upon your own experience, how many bootlegs are incorrectly rated when it comes to sound quality.

    Furthermore, I do not see how I answered my own question.
  9. I'd say 42.
  10. I'd say some are incorrect

    Still, I can't answer your question. In my opinion every bootleg is rated well enough. Ever since the rating system was brought in place we have rated them all. Happy to be proven wrong with arguments in this thread.

  12. You said yourself that it's a subjective matter, so you're asking people to use their own element of subjectivity to try and answer an objective question concerning a subjective matter lol. I'd say that's answering your own question about estimating the amount of bootlegs with incorrect ratings on here.

    How about 40?
