The return of non-mission contributions in July came with some slight adjustments to the system. Changes made were explained at the time, but we’re continuing to receive questions about the current situation and so we’re taking this chance to neatly provide all answers and clarifications in one place - here! Read below for all the answers you’ve been craving.
Why are my Curator account-submitted contributions not verified?
Your Curator account-submitted contributions are verified, don’t worry! There was previously a messaging error on the website and apps which showed a contradictory message, but it’s now been fixed. Tracks sent from your Curator account are considered ‘Curator Verified’ and are locked to the contributions of accounts with the Curator status or lower.
Why are my contributions not showing on other sites?
As communicated both on Connected and in our Community Slack workspaces when non-mission contributions returned, not all contributions are currently displayed on other sites. This is not, however, because your contributions haven't been verified. It equally doesn’t mean that there’s any technical fault or issue in the system, and so you don’t necessarily need to be worried if you don’t see your contributions reflected on partner sites. The process has been tweaked in search of a simple objective: to maintain the highest quality standards for our lyrics catalogue and safeguard the integrity of our curation system. While we continue to work towards that objective, you'll remain able to enjoy lyrics contributions to your favorite songs on the Musixmatch website.
Why can’t I edit Curator contributions any more, including my own?
Some Curator contributions, including those from your own account, will now show as locked to you, while some remain open for editing. Whether a Curator contribution is locked for you or not will depend on whether it's been previously worked within the mission. Songs that have been will be locked to your edits. Those that have only been worked outside the mission, will be possible to correct. This process has been developed as part of our continuing ambition to safeguard the quality of our lyrics catalogue. We're investing heavily in securing the mission system, and so it's tasks coming from this environment that are given the strongest automatic protections.
We have implemented these additional checks to ensure that other sites that we provide lyrics to receive the best quality content possible. These matters are dynamic and based on our obsession with ensuring the best possible quality of our lyrics. The position described above may change in the future, but for now we thank you all for your understanding and cooperation.
