I sent a message to Ourstage querying a policy of allowing multiple entries. It would appear that some people trying to beat this are withdrawing an entry midway through the month perhaps because it is not doing too well and replacing it with another. I think this is unfair. I have stated before that entries should all be made prior to the start of the month and then all voted on equally for that month's duration. This is the reply that I got back.



"Thanks for the feedback.

People can remove something that is in competition, but cannot replace it.
When they remove it, they lose any ranking they had, up to that point. If they resubmit to the same channel during the course of the month, that new item starts with "0" zero ranking and our ranking engine will serve it up to catch it up with other items in that channel to give it an equal chance of competing, so we do not penalize or prevent artists from starting over during
the month."

I think this is very unfair and spoils the voting system and its engine. It should be stopped immediately so all entries start at the same time and are on a level playing field. Unless I have picked things up wrongly late entries do according to this reply play catchup and get more battles in a shorter period of time so they can compete equally. Where is the equality in allowing people two or more bites at the cherry then allow them more voting opportunities to catchup songs that have been there all month.
