You're taking the chance to quote me and try to prove me wrong over personal grudges, stop acting so childish. Even I have a bit more insight on simfile making than you, and I don't even have much experience. But unlike you, I'm willing to play a song I can't pass and enjoy it because it was stepped pretty creatively.
Look over your post, I'm not talking about his style, I'm talking about his attitude. Do you even register the sentences coming out of your mouth (metaphorically speaking, because I can already tell you'll be the person to take that literally and say you're typing not speaking, hole in logic covered, try to find some other petty detail to rant on about) before you open it?
I really think that Reincarnate's idea would be awesome. But guess what? It's going to be tough for a lot of people to lower their standards. People have become so accustomed to judging files with such a technical eye that they can't enjoy a file without pitch relevancy. I feel that people are more focused on how the file is stepped versus how fun it is. Of course everyone just said this, but now imagine you really do start this. Will people be able to lower their standards? If so, to what? Who will be the "credible" judges for it? You still need judges, because some files can be out of sync, which is never a stylistic thing to do. A lot of these questions will seem easier now, but when the time comes no one will be able to agree on certain things.
If it came down to it, I'd strip everyone of their reputation and treat everyone's file submissions equal. Don't expect Person A's file to be better than Person B's. I actually think it would be cool to have:
An anonymous submission pack. Every file is going to be anonymously submitted, no one will know you stepped it. Right before the pack is released, everyone announces the song they stepped and uploads their cdtitle. How the judges will be picked I wouldn't know, I don't plan on arguing over things like that. But I would suggest 3 REALLY different judges. One who's technical on everything (whether keyboard or pad), one who could care less about rules and more about fun, and one who knows nothing about judging and just enjoys the game. This type of experiment could give people insight on how the stepmania community really views styles and songs.
Edit: To be honest, if this did happen I wouldn't mind being the guy to receive all the files and distribute them to the judges. I'm used to organizing lists and thoughts, and I could create some analyses on the trends of reviews as compared to who stepped it, how it was stepped, etc. I don't plan to judge it at all, but I would be thoroughly interested in keeping the validity of an experiment like this.
