| May 2012 site update: Year charts now released! |

| From |
| Year charts
Year charts are now live for Level 6 users. 'Year' charts will contribute 5% of a chart's normal weight towards the overall rankings. A discussion on the scoring system can be found here. In a year chart, you can only pick from albums released in the relevant year. You can still add albums to your list that are not already on the site, but if they are subsequently found to be released in the 'wrong' year, they will not contribute towards the rankings. (N.B. BEA uses the original year of release for each album, so you need to be aware that any albums that you add to your year charts are not re-releases of older albums, and the BEA year of release will be final (if BEA have this wrong, let us know and it will be corrected). Display of IP addresses Although somebody's IP address cannot identify anybody directly, it could be used in conjunction with other personal data to narrow down the possibilities. Therefore, BEA will now mask from view the first two octets of each IP address. Entire IP addresses can still be seen by data moderators (e.g. to help identify anybody trying to 'game' the site); but to increase member privacy, whole IP addresses will no longer be visible to everybody else. 'New additions' threshold To help stop the admin area of the site being overloaded with new albums, users will no longer be able to add more than 40 'new' albums to the site within a three day period (unless they help out with data moderation, in which case, editing will be automatically re-enabled). You can still make unlimited changes to your charts if the number of 'new' albums falls under this threshold, so most people will be unaffected. (A 'new' album is one that is not already on BEA.) Comment votes An option has been added to neutralise your comment vote on the individual album, band and chart pages. Support usRead more |
