[QUOTE="JoeNotCharles, post: 4821152, member: 79945"] So, I see N3rday's been added as a character judge. Welcome, N3rday! But I'm not sure adding more char-only judges is going to help with the backlog right now, since the rules say each character needs to be judged by at least one full judge. Most of the characters in the queue have been reviewed by me and are waiting for a full judge, which doesn't leave much for N3rday to do. The point of needing two judges for each character is that sometimes, one judge will miss something or get a rule wrong, so it's always good to have a double-check - don't want to change that. And the point of requiring a full judge is that judges have been around for a while and we know that they have a good handle on the rules, while some character judges just show up out of the blue and volunteer to help clear out the queue, so we don't necessarily know whether they're skilled or are trustworthy. (I'm amazed that I haven't seen any trolls here, but we have to plan for it in case one shows up...) However, this means that even if we expand the number of character judges, we still have a lot of characters bottlenecked until a full judge can look at them, and the full judges are very busy. I'd like to propose a change to the rule: instead of having character judges and full judges, let's have character judges and probationary character judges. Every full judge is automatically a full character judge, but omebody who signs up to be a character judge is "on probation" for a certain number of characters - lets say 10. At least one approval for each character needs to be from a full character judge. Once they judge 10 new characters without consistently screwing things up, a probationary character judge graduates and is able to act as a full character judge. I'm pretty sure Lord Sessadore and I have done enough to graduate from probation immediately, which would let N3rday start doing the second review on all the characters that are sitting there with "1 approval from JoeNotCharles". Not sure about Ata - he mentioned in the discussion thread that he hadn't done very much of it. The number 10 is up for discussion as well, of course. [/QUOTE]
