Funny, I vote on (nearly) every single song posted on this site. This is done for two reasons:
1) I think it gives the artist and idea of what others think of their song, which can be a means to self-improvement. This is obviously better if the person rating also leaves a comment.
2) It allows me to see what songs I've already listened to when I go to the "browse" page! This is not as daft as it may seem - I post a reasonable amount of comments, and I listen to just about everything; but sometimes a few can slip through the net (as it were!). Those that do slip through the net, are picked up by me when I do a quick check every now and then. In fact, that happened to one of Spoony's just the other day!!!
If I think that the playing, construction, and recording are rubbish, I'll give a 10% RATING (not a vote for what I think is the best - I rate the songs). If the song is truly excellent, then it gets a 90%. As yet, no song has received a 100% professional vote from me (but some have come extremely close!)
I like other people rating my songs - what other measure of progress is there for an individual on this site? Yes, people can comment and say that this one's better than the last, etc, etc, but that's not a true measure of improvement.
In every walk of life, there are people who don't do things in the spirit of fairness. Well, fine - if that's how they get their kicks so be it. It's a sad person that feels they have to try and rig a friendly bit of competition between what is, essentially, a group of "friends" that get together because of their common interest!
