I proposed something similar a while ago. I think you should get ~5 or 10 'Godlike' tags. You could change them, but you would have to bump someone if you were at your limit.
The creation of data "guardrails" creates unintended consequences. Some "rating" systems are "user adjusted". If my average rating is a 7 and I give a 10, it carries less weight than if I average 5 and give a 10. You could also limit "valid" rankings used in the scoring to those with "at least 200 ratings". Ultimately, I doubt the effort of creating guardrails will make a statistical difference. If your system of 10 "Godlike" rankings were implemented...would the non-rock classics all keep their 10's...or would they lose them to rock? Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach all have more 10's than anything else. Are they more deserving than Eleanor Rigby or Strawberry Fields Forever? If you limit 10's...you'll find out.
So what about someone like good old Romeotuma / Lazarus or what ever he is these days ? He rated everything a 10.
I really like the "Who's listening" showing how many are listening in each country all over the world and hope that the head count is a new feature and that just hadn't noticed all these years?!
Love it and the cute intro video! Well done! So looking forward to all that's coming.

So excited for the Events page, not that I can be there often as I live in SOCAL, but it's duly noted.
The Becoming William blog post- OMG fantastic writing! Thank you for sharing such a personal story William.
Glad to know Alanna is jumping in board and congrats to Rebecca for taking care of herself. I've turned so many people on to RP. We LOVE you !

Edit - I also look forward to some of the mentioned self procurement music options. I like when I accidently leave it on my favorites and find myself thinking "man, Bill is killing it today". I also think it would be cool to be able to select someone else's favorites.
That's discrimination against polytheists. At least the ones with a whole pantheon of gods.
Hmmm. I thought I edited this last night, but my tablet is real laggy at times, so who knows. I did find the tracking pick in What's Playing. It does not seem to sync correctly with what I am hearing. On 17 Sept 12:23 PM ET, the Roku segued to Morcheeba, but the tracker has Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa starting at 12:20. Last night it was behind the Roku, Showing 78Saab instead of George Harrison. The first example is on Opera (Chromium)/Xubuntu 22.04LTS, the second on an Android tablet. The old tracker is fine.
I'm with rgio on the ratings, I only rate 7 and above, with the most as 8's (62%). The point is to load My Favorites, which I use in the car.
Looks like there was a typo in there, that should be good now.
Thanks for pointing it out.

This is verbatim what Sarah Palin was complaining about when she lost her recent election, I think.

I would still have 10s. my rating system goes to 11 (for a bit).

On the song ratings, I see I've given this song a green heart. Is it a 10? That's hard to believe. 9, maybe, 8? that heart looks too dark for an 8. I just can't tell. Oh, if I click the heart it pops up the scale and.... still hard to see OH the 9-bar has a green highlight. If that were a red line, I'd have the same issue on the bottom end of the scale but I don't care.
Maybe that highlight should be blue....
Edit: And I'm pretty good at discerning subtle differences in colors and fully acknowledge that it might be a trick of the eye, but I swear that Green heart is darker than the 8 green in the rating scale. Or is it "you gave this a 7 or above so here's your green heart" sort of thing?
Edit2: Yeah the color of the heart has only a ballpark correlation with the 1â10 graph colors. Can you put a 9 over the 9-heart?
Hey Bill - I just tried the Credit Card contribution and , after selecting Yes I'll pay the process fee, the system hung up. There was no request/screen to enter number. I went back, started again and said no the the fee and the request screen popped up. Might want to check that.
Same here. I was able to donate, but it was an odd quirk.

Congratulations on your new incarnation as William. You will wear it well, I'm sure. Haven't said it in awhile but thanks for RP and all that you have done and are still doing to ensure that it continues. You have never strayed from your mission as best as I can tell and that is such a rare quality to find anymore.

Ah, jeez. Paypal is the least-tested part of the new setup, since I can't test using our Paypal account. I'll investigate right away.
OK. Found the PayPal issue. Should be OK now. Have I mentioned my loathing for PayPal lately? Nothing personal towards anyone who works there, or anyone who happily uses their service. They do a perfectly acceptable job at everything with the massive, glaring exception of their API and merchant tools. I have a huge list of things that I can do in seconds on Stripe and GoCardless (our other two main processors) that take long, painful hours with PayPal. The payment system is the last part of our public web stuff that I'm personally responsible for coding & maintaining, and I am very much looking forward to handing that one off too. I'd much rather be a DJ! I'm so much better at that... Gotta say that I sure like the new font we're using for the forum (& basically everything else). Very clean.
