So should I only post one review for my week, or can I still post 2-3 while we sort out this new system?
Nah, one will be enough.Rose wrote:So should I only post one review for my week, or can I still post 2-3 while we sort out this new system?
And that's the core issue all over again: why restrict reviews so much when reviewers are willing to post more often?▲▪►▪▼◄▲ wrote:Nah, one will be enough.Rose wrote:So should I only post one review for my week, or can I still post 2-3 while we sort out this new system?
I'll just submit one for now, but I have to agree with Nexx. There simply aren't enough features right now and I want to help fix that. I understand that in the past, it was frowned upon for the same reviewer to post multiple reviews in a row. But times have changed, and we need all the activity we can get.Nexx wrote:And that's the core issue all over again: why restrict reviews so much when reviewers are willing to post more often?▲▪►▪▼◄▲ wrote:Nah, one will be enough.Rose wrote:So should I only post one review for my week, or can I still post 2-3 while we sort out this new system?
If you're strongly opposed to multiple reviews in a week by the same reviewer, then let's try a 3- or 4- or 5-day system or something. :)
I'm not trying to tread on toes, this just seems a bit off.
I'm willing to work around a 3-day system, but:▲▪►▪▼◄▲ wrote:I guess I didn't make myself clear. I would like to have a seven-day system, but only if you guys are prepared to post daily features. Otherwise it will fall apart again.
I'm not pushing for a daily system at all.▲▪►▪▼◄▲ wrote:I guess I didn't make myself clear. I would like to have a seven-day system, but only if you guys are prepared to post daily features. Otherwise it will fall apart again.
Well... You can already post more than one review per week.Rose wrote:I'm not pushing for a daily system at all.▲▪►▪▼◄▲ wrote:I guess I didn't make myself clear. I would like to have a seven-day system, but only if you guys are prepared to post daily features. Otherwise it will fall apart again.
Okay, here are two possibilities I see, both of which should be perfectly feasible:
Option 1: We keep the weekly system we have, but allow each reviewer to post 2-3 reviews during their week.
Option 2: We move to a system where we assign a review date every three days. So on Feb 1 someone reviews, then someone else does on the 4th, then someone else on the 7th, etc.
Either way, we get a new feature every few days, which is a nice happy medium between weekly and daily. Daily isn't sustainable, but weekly isn't enough. We need more activity, and I don't care whether it's by option 1 or 2. Just... not one review a week, please.
As Aidiera reiterated above, he strongly doesn't want that. That's why there's been a burst of posts in this thread.Sunset wrote:Well... You can already post more than one review per week.
This seems like a false argument because the system was changed from 1-day to 7-days without polling the reviewer population.Sunset wrote:Like I said, I'm willing. I'm also able. But is it *WORTH* going through the fuss of it? As I've seen so far only 3 reviewers out of 15, so 1/5th are saying it's a better system than the current for [reason]. I'm not implying a majority split vote would be a better way to handle this, or even that it's a way *TO* handle this, but I'm not willing to change an entire system that works currently, or appears to work, for [opinion]. That's not to say that you can't argue it, but I can't only listen to a less than quarter percent of the reviewer population and disregard the entirety of the other seventy-five+. Shit don't work.
That sounds intimidatory.▲▪►▪▼◄▲ wrote:I /reaaaaally/ would like to not have one person feature several maps in a row. But, given the circumstances, I guess if we went the weekly route then two reviews by that person would be acceptable. I'll let you decide amongst yourselves what to do. And be on the lookout for new reviewers.

Don't get sad, my friend Aidiera. Your chances of getting a map featured increase considerably with a 3-day system more than 4 reviews per month. You'll should be happy.▲▪►▪▼◄▲ wrote:I'm just saying that I won't stop you for posting more than one review in a row; you'll just make me sad.
True, though it's not like before the reviewers were necessarily coherent in their choice of reviews. Part of the point of this new system was to bring back a working system for the review system. And that does seem to have worked, however slow it may be right now. If anything the system is and should be temporary. I'll try to work around a 3-4 day system, though I'd need to give it some thought. And a lot of time.Nexx wrote:As Aidiera reiterated above, he strongly doesn't want that.

But anyway, zoas is right, this isn't complicated. You just have to look at # of reviewers willing to post vs # of spots available.
Right now, we've knocked the number of available review spots way down, so that the system works. A working system is good, but it seems like we have significantly fewer available spots than we have reviewers willing to post. The lack of available spots is *slowing down* the posting of reviews.
We're proposing a 3-day or 4-day system in an effort to better balance out the two sides.
Oh and changing the system isn't going to break it. Eventually, when the # of reviewers willing to post dries up even more, we can again decrease the # of spots to match, so that the system is balanced as practically as possible.
But right now, 7-day intervals are too long, and it's slowing down reviews. Simple.

It has been 2 years since I last studied Spanish, and since I never really got to use it it fell out of use (and I'm studying 4 other languages so those have been taking my focus haha). Anyways, we're going to Galicia, the Atlantic Coast. I'm looking forward to getting out of the grimness of Finland :D
