Nectarine
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Why is <tune> "inactive"?This status is used for tunes that are at least a little bit demoscene-related, but for various reasons deemed unsuitable for the stream. Could be one or more of the following reasons, just to give some examples:
- Too noisy or abrasive;
- Over-the-top obscenity that bothers our listeners;
- Poor quality production, e.g. badly out of tune vocals or instruments, poor tracker skills;
- Too long for what it is, making it not worth tying up the stream with it;
- Overall poor reception by listeners (low rating, not requested much, comments complaining about it)
It's not a "final" judgment. An inactive tune could possibly be reactivated depending on listener consensus. But keep in mind that most of the time tunes were deactivated because there was user consensus that it shouldn't be on the stream. As such, if you ask "can you please reactivate <tune>?" the answer will probably be "sorry, but no."
Please do keep in mind that Nectarine is not your personal jukebox - it is a radio, which groups of people listen to socially.
You can of course listen to such a tune for yourself by using the "Listen" link that appears on its song page.
