I just want to reference some important points to the rules and deductions that could follow for some clarification and to ensure we are all playing in accordance with the rules of OP and helping to keep the serenity of the thread as well. It’s a suggest for meriting thread and as such, it’s not a thread far from abuse except/even if a few things are started more clearly.
I’ll beacon on OP to permit me to bring to top what we do not get and what we get from the OP before presenting some points to it that I think could ensure users aren’t faulting the rules to the thread as I suspect is being done frequently. Mind you, am not subjecting anything to discussion here but, just trying to get the attention of the OP to certain impressions and hope the rest of the users on here don’t see this for an avenue to spam with inferred and assumed ideas. My apologies in advance if this might be a little uncalled for!
Rules of the thread:What you get applying to get a post merited:- I commit to reading all your submitted posts.
- I commit to assessing the quality of all the posts and deciding if they are worthy or not.
What you don't get applying to get a post merited:- The certainty of a merit for your submission.
- The timely assessment of the quality of your merit submission.
- The right to discuss my meriting choices. My meriting habits aren't under scrutiny here.
While OP has made certain commitments to users that makes use of the thread, I think I find a lot of users just posting head on without a clear notion on if, the previous submissions have been looked at or not. I think some of the means that could have marked that is, if a user got merited but clearly, not everyone is would get that and it’s very much a part of what you do not get as started which is largely based on OP’s judgement on post which is also forum intuitive.
A way around oneself would have been checking on other users to have an idea of where OP have been but, we aren’t basing the system on meriting applications but rather referred posts which could push users into looking up OP’s sent out merits (
I’ve done that few times) in an attempt to locate where OP have been on the thread to decide on if, am in the clear to drop a new submission but, I couldn’t get that conclusion. Hence, I’ve only got 1 submission in about 3weeks of participation. Haven’t been long but, the 2weeks application period puts me in the clear while, the until review is done rule tells me not to.
Now, a few other rules states;
Rules of the thread:Rules for applying to get a post merited:- Each user can submit one entry every two weeks.
- You cannot submit a new entry until I have reviewed your last one.
- Each user can submit up to 7 entries.
The first prompts users to submit entries as per two weeks of interval:
This could mean, users haven’t stayed for a period of two weeks and didn’t get or get merited proceed with submitting yet another entry. This could easily flood the thread with entries as I see it been done by most of my peers.
The second rule that prohibits submission except OP haven’t viewed;
I perceive this to override the first but I could be wrong. If am not wrong, then we can find the difficulty in keeping to the second rule in not having any clear indicator of where OP is on the thread from where OP has been.
Hence, with your permission @fillippone, may I suggest on some modification to OP for users to determine when in the clear for an entry:
1. A statement to point out the start for new entries.
It’s all it could take as users would look out for that statement before publishing any entry and the fate of previous entries.
Like myself, I’ve made just 1 entry since I found the thread and with regards to the above quote rules as per not faulting or contradicting them and not being able to determine when am in the clear for a new entry while trying to keep the serenity of the thread, I make this post for possible update or clarification.
Note: This is in no way a means to subject OP or users to any form of discussion and OP could delete this post or ask me to delete if it pleases OP to do so. Thank you!
