Did I Actually Get A Forward? (confused)
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2017 11:16 am
Hey guys. I just recently started submitting music (been a member for a while) and I am not 100% sure if I got a Forward or not. I did receive an email saying my song was Forwarded and on my Submission History page, under Finished it says [F] Forwarded - (View Critique) (Certificate). After clicking critique, at the top is says Note: This is not a full critique. Y Listings are judged on a Yes/No basis, but we want to let you know the reason this song wasn't forwarded. The status is under "Forwarded" however the "Lyrics" button is selected for "Reasons for not selected" and there wasn't any feedback whatsoever. So, did I actually get a forward?
