Looking for opinions on posting untuned usts

Like the title says, I'm looking to see what people's opinions are on posting untuned usts instead of tuned ones.

The thing is I really don't feel up to tuning right now, but I have an untuned ust that I made just sitting on my computer. I don't know when I will tune it and I don't want to just leave it on my computer for all of eternity. It crossed my mind that I could just distribute it as is and then post a tuned version later, but my hesitation is that I've never actually seen anyone do this before and I'm unsure if people would be okay with an untuned ust.

I see it as a good and bad thing:

Good:
- It encourages proper tuning
- It's easier to edit the ust

The only bad thing is that for newbies, tuning can be intimidating and having tuned usts as references can help immensly

I always get rid of the original tuning on an UST before I use it now so I don't personally see it as a bad thing, that's just my opinion on it tho! if you want to just get it out there, I think it's just fine to post the UST and specify that you might post a tuned one later?

When I tune, I typically delete what's already there and start from there. Personally, I see nothing wrong with distributing an unedited ust since that makes things easier for more experienced users. But yanno, seeing a tuned ust works as a good reference for those who are still learning how to tune.

Ive downloaded a few untuned USTs before. I think it'd be fine if you uploaded an untuned one but i think some newer users would appreciate the tuned one too. Seems like i pretty much have the same opinion as the others in this thread. You should go ahead and do it, i think people will also be glad a UST for that song exists at all.

I think its ok to release a ust. Heck, when I release ust's, I normally release them untuned, and when I download one, I remove the tuning on it as well.

I think the biggest thing is; people would rather have ust of a song, than no ust at all.

Thanks for your opinions guys. It really helps to see that people have the same opinion on this subject that I do. I think I'll give myself a deadline of a few weeks and if I haven't tuned the usts by then I'll put them up for download untuned.
