I was merely rearranging the points in his post, which made no sense to begin with.

Fair enough, I guess I just didn't understand why even bother when he was clearly arguing apples to unicorns.



The minute percentage of people who read about this and decide Dan and Chris are smelly-fartheads pales in comparison to the EDM/clubbing community as a whole.

Originally posted by RJT How that's the point you got from his posts, I'll never know. All I got was that he thinks this reflects more poorly on Chris and Dan, and I think it reflects more poorly on DJ Mag, which was shortly followed by the standard "You're an idiot" response rather than anything substantial. Further, to assume no persons opinion of the poll will change because of this seems ridiculous.

Well, that was the point that would have been logical to make. Maybe I was too quick to credit it to someone else.

George Acosta is higher on the poll than Danny Howells, but if people like Howells weren't on the list at all, it wouldn't matter as much as it does.

I know. I just wanted to get them all together for a fun little logic convention.

You could, but it's not as if it would be relevant when you clearly understood the meaning, so really wouldn't it just boil down to nitpicking?



And thank you for clearing up the T.nu comment - the Acosta explanation helped a lot, and in general I think I agree with you, but even the majority of Howells fans out there may not be bright enough to wrap their heads around such a concept, and so DJ's like Howells will remain on the list as long as the list exists, thus complicating the whole situation further because as you said - it would be much easier to dispute if it was slightly more blatantly "fanboyish" than it already is.

1. yes. hence, /

2. I wasn't either, until just now.

in summation:

A legitimate vote in the DJ Mag Top 100 is your way of saying, "This poll is relevant to my interests."

Whereas, a legitimate vote in the Tranceaddict Top 250 DJs poll is your way of saying, "I'm sick of these in-thread reminders."

So true, until swamper added the "abstain" macro

Both DJ Mag and the DJs stand to lose significant integrity from this. DJ Mag lose face that their poll (especially 2007's edition) was riddled with cheating. While Lawrence and Dan are bound to feel some backlash, if not to their fanbase, then at least to their 'bookability' in the dance community (Unless a disgraced DJ is actually good reverse publicity on promoter's flyers).

Both whipping out the old "it wasnt me, it was my marketing manager" card. Heaven's above, because that guy operates completely individually from the artist in question right?

While the majority of sensible members of this website will retort that DJ Mag holds no standing and is a complete farce; unfortunately within the industry and the public domain (you know, those things that posting "It's a piece of shit dont vote" 100 times on TA, won't change ) this poll remains the standard.

Originally posted by darkdoze I already said this before. Sit and home and vote over and over for the same DJ and get all your friends to do it too, then the DJ you hate will be DISQUALIFIED. Not very smart of DJ mag to be telling everyone what the criteria is for disqualifying people. How dumb are they giving this info out?? I wonder if DJ Mag thinks this will buy back credibility for their poll???? Throw a couple of DJs on the fire and maybe people will like us again. HAHAHAHAHAHA

I still believe the djs knew something prior to the investigation beginning. I can't honestly believe they were wholly innocent and neither of them knew that their manager was doing this (if this is what we are to believe).
