Whats with the people who stream themselves up to number one of the D Music chart

shutyatrap	Date: May 24, 2006 @ 6:03 AM Why do you do this?? You fucking Meglomaniac's!!! Its not going to get you any comments. Why don't you spend this time listening to other artists and enjoying the talent people in this community.
karimv123	Date: May 24, 2006 @ 6:06 AM yeah ! I noticed it too ! and there is a bunch of people doing this LOL shutyatrap
ChillinBuzz	Date: May 24, 2006 @ 6:33 AM I thought self-streaming had been stopped from affecting the charts at least, that's what we thought since this is a VERY old problem that's been brought up time and time again over the years
shutyatrap	Date: May 24, 2006 @ 7:13 AM To be honest It nothing new to see this. It used to happen all the time when I was with mp3.com.au. I think from now on I will stream and review the number 1 artist of the day starting with...Well done on making it to number 1 on D Music...
SimonWaldram	Date: May 24, 2006 @ 7:41 AM Laws, Newton, ygokazuki, Malum Matt... Who the hell are these people??
ChillinBuzz	Date: May 24, 2006 @ 7:56 AM Laws has been around a long time, 2 months less than me, as for the others, no idea
zedsalt	Date: May 24, 2006 @ 11:55 AM Yeah, I fail to see the point. On a related note, you can see some of my lyrics in the next "Guide to the New Great American Poets" compilation... just kidding

GeneHilbert	Date: May 24, 2006 @ 12:10 PM We will never have an accurate chart reading, until the coding is changed. Hopefully with the launch of the sites upgrade this flaw will be corrected.
Alstroph	Date: May 24, 2006 @ 2:20 PM What's interesting about the charts is that somedays a song of my bands will be on there when I know it hasn't gotten any listens!
Fraser	Date: May 24, 2006 @ 3:18 PM The only reason I dl my own songs is to check if the music is actually up on the site. Somethings messed with my comp that stops me from streaming, so I have to dl the song (Which is kinda the same thing...).
ShadowMom	Date: May 24, 2006 @ 4:33 PM The charts work in mysterious ways. Even the great god Apertome probably doesn't have full understanding of this phenomenon...
SimonWaldram	Date: May 24, 2006 @ 5:14 PM On a completely unrelated note... ...has no one else noticed that former DM chart king Chuckie Akenz no longer has any music on here??
TameasDust	Date: May 24, 2006 @ 10:11 PM wonder if he went RIAA?
K3VIN	Date: May 24, 2006 @ 10:36 PM he retired... good riddance... nothing like streaming bastards ruining real music
ChillinBuzz	Date: May 25, 2006 @ 4:04 AM he hasn't retired. he was asked to stop abusing the site whereupon he probably had one of his childish fits and walked out in a strop, considering the artist journal he left on his way out he sucked anyway. that name should be banned from here
K3VIN	Date: May 25, 2006 @ 12:16 PM he stopped making music i believe..
K3VIN	Date: May 25, 2006 @ 12:17 PM OtherSimonWaldram Date: May 24, 2006 @ 7:41 AM Laws, Newton, ygokazuki, Malum Matt... Who the hell are these people?? Boggled laws is not a self streamer... hes in a torunement with well over 70 people... so theres a lot of people streaming his track for the battle where he psoted it up on this site.
GeneHilbert	Date: May 25, 2006 @ 12:35 PM I did notice the end of the upchuckie chart domination. Sorry to hear he had issues (not really).... long live Vietnamese rap.....

ChillinBuzz	Date: June 12, 2006 @ 9:59 AM bad Tameas
Dizeazed	Date: June 12, 2006 @ 1:39 PM I don't think you get chart position for self-streaming. ... but I could be wrong.
JamesThomson	Date: June 12, 2006 @ 2:25 PM People do that kind of thing on myspace as well. It really is a waste of time
Woof	Date: June 12, 2006 @ 8:27 PM The last time I heard about Chuckie here at DM, he was accused of this, but nothing was ever proven. He was bashed a lot in these forums because everybody did think that he was streaming his own songs. Chuckie didn't respond to the bashing, for the most part. After 30 or so posts accusing him of bad internet etiquette, he replied in the thread that bashed him with courtesy, and informed the DM community that he didn't care if he was removed from the charts, or if his site was deleted altogether. He also mentioned that he'd gotten quite a following from performing and having his street teams promote him, and couldn't help it if lots of people played his songs. I don't know under what kind of circumstances Chuckie left DM. I never saw any goodbye posts here on the forums, or any rants in the shoutboxes. Other than his constantly topping the charts, I don't think there were many signs that he was ever at DM at all. I've just checked the message he left on his site here, and it reads like a perfectly appropriate bowing-out. Finally, I LIKED the kid. "Alone" and "Goodbye" were really good songs. They had a great feel, and despite their being a little too "hot" in a couple places, played very well. Besides that, does DM even HAVE charts anymore?
Veracohr	Date: June 13, 2006 @ 1:17 AM Of course, no one around here pays any attention to the charts anyway.
nawlige	Date: June 13, 2006 @ 1:22 AM im pretty sure u can top the charts by streaming ur own...i have seen it done by ppl that get dont any play really yet.... they top the charts......hmmmmm ill ask the judges........
nawlige	Date: June 13, 2006 @ 1:23 AM yup they said and the majic never lies
Cryxan	Date: June 13, 2006 @ 5:28 AM Chill is right; fu-dog fixed this a long time ago. The system remembers the IP that streamed the track. It will not count repetitive streams/downloads towards chart position. There's a daily limit, or something like that. Also, and I don't know if this is still the case, but Internet Explorer used to display 4 successive streams on the interact page even though the user only clicked the stream button once.
