Dude , why to take the interview on irc ? What has an open interview where you can talk to a staff member and he can invite you . Why not do that ?
I dont have the patience waiting around for 3 hours to get interviewed, then going through a 45 minute exam.
In contrast, some people are really willing to study and go through that to get invited, but their countries are banned from the channel. Life's a bitch.Quote:

Can someone explain this interview and exam process please?
Well, in a nutshell, you study about things like CD ripping, audio encoding, bitrates and such, then join an IRC channel where they ask you questions about it. If you pass the "exam", you get an invite from them. You aren't allowed to consult your reading material as you're interviewed, obviously.

that is way over the top! i guess it gives good members but still...
No it ensures that people given membership have the minimal ability of being able to at least short term remember the answers to a test. They could make it about auto repair instead of encoding and arguably get the exact same results ( and members).Quote:

It doesn't set any distinctions as to love of music, commitment to the tracker , honesty or any other the myriad of other things that could actually factor in to actually being a "good" member.
Disagreed. The test ensures that u have basic knowledge about the types of files and formats in which the music is uploaded on the site. When u are a noob and u search for an album, u will find, say 10 versions of the same album in different formats. Which one of them do u actually want? How is it different from the others? Which format will be more useful to u? U will never know that until u have basic knowledge about it. Formats is just one thing. There are lots of other things that u need to know, which will be very useful to u while using this tracker, as well as in ur life (if u are a music lover).Quote:

Firstly I honestly don't take anything seriously written by anyone who insists on writing "u" in place of "you". You could well be telling me the secret to eternal life but my inclination would still be mostly be to shake my head and wonder what kind of moron consciously decides to do that. :mellow:Quote:

More truthfully actually as it didn't get in the way ,even briefly, of the listening .
Maybe ( believe it or not) I'm in the infinitesimal minority that for reasons unknown doesn't really give a shite in hell what format a song is in as long as it's acceptably clear , it plays on whatever I want to play it on and I like it.:mellow:
Btw clearly I'm stoopid.Please ,if you don't mind, enlighten me on what else I "need" to know".
Agreed with "u" on something finally..Quote:
