[Audioscrobbler-development] Thoughts on avoiding the Moderation Mess

[Daniel O'C. <dan...@gm...>]

I.. am staggered by the sheer diversity of ways in which people can be
just-plain-wrong about the purpose of a Title field in an mp3.

The musicbrainz id is sent with files if it is available. How trifling
would it be to record how many musicbrainz tagged files someone
submits and reward them.

Call it something cool sounding - like "Trusted Scrobbler" and set a
vague limit - say %20 of all songs submitted must be tagged and
maintained at that level to remain as a trusted scrobbler.

~CloCkWeRX -> =BACloCkWeRX

Then, really push the musicbrainz tagger. It's not perfect. But once
people are shown the way, you can reduce the number of incoming evil
submissions largely - and a low limit like %20 will make people want
to tag *everything* correctly once they are used to it.

Not a perfect solution. But it would stop the massive amount of
moderation that has to take place.

Input?
