for all the people who wanna just post a mix and have it reviewed leave that alone some people are just starting out an may not want to enter a poll or have there mixes judged by people who have been dj'ing for many years. |
Surely new DJs would want to have their mixes reviewed by people with more experience than them. How else would they be getting feedback on what they're doing right/wrong? It's the whole point of constructive criticism  Or am I misunderstanding what you've said?

For those who have been mixing for a while and feel they have a good set on there hands, have them post in the thread title something like
_Poll Entry_djmarknaylor_eyes set_september mix
.....or something similar
that way anyone can easily see which are the new dj's looking for help and the possible poll entrants looking for votes to boost his mix. |
That looks terrible in a thread title, and 99% of people here would avoid it just because of that.
Which poll are you talking about though? Last time I checked, there were no 'poll entries' whatsoever. We have a "Best of the Month" thread, but that's for the other users here to share which mixes they thought were top quality, for the month in question, not for people to nominate their own mixes. It's not a competition, and I definitely don't want this forum to become anything like that.

have it made mandatory that you review at least 2 other poll mixes before posting (this would be enforced by listing which mixes you have reviewed and rated on your own mix at the bottom something like. "comment on steves mix good, comment on dans mix shite") for those who post early in the month and havent any mixes to review yet check back and add them to your own thread when they become available. |
There is no way of currently enforcing that, and honestly, I don't think there should be. Anyone in the world, right now, can sign up to TA, and post a mix for us to listen to and review.
While I would like more participation here in DJ Promo, to 'enforce' it is the wrong way to go. It will simply result in a few quick, low quality posts, so that people can post their own things. The smart people here on TA figure out pretty quickly, that the way to get your mixes listened to/reviewed is to spend some time here in the community, and be a regular poster. Having links to your mixes/website in your sig doesn't hurt either, but the point is that people should make an effort on the site here, not just post up their mix and wait for blindingly good/bad reviews.

this is a good way imo to get everyone involved who wants to get involved and a way to prove your not just in it for yourself and still leaves room for the occasional poster who just wants to get an idea how far along he is in his mixing skills. |
The DJ Promo forum is already like that though  I realise that you're pretty new here, but this forum has been going for quite some time.
