Woah woah woah, people. Calm down. XD I'll bring it up in Mod Squad. But the thing is, this isn't an official rule. Enforcing it is WAY too strict and kind of a bad use of being a mod. And members can't exactly do well to enforce it, either. I only came and asked for a short history lesson, since this was the first I'd ever heard of such a thing. Although I don't think it'll work or matter at all if a preview thread doesn't exist. People will review or won't review regardless of what threads exist. So hold your horses and wait a bit...I'll see what everyone else says on the matter. o.o That'll teach me to go asking questions again. XD Maraming salamat! (That's "thank you very much" in Filipino) True, enforcing it seems...sort of tight. Thanks, Stal. Let us know what the other mods think. The truth of the matter is, you shouldn't need mods. Members do have brains. ^_^ You all as members should decide to make a concerted effort to review more, as opposed to blaming lack of reviews on something else. Take the responsibility in your own hands to do something about it. For example, as a member, if you know that there is a person that doesn't give reviews, don't review their work. If you know there's a person who gives reviews, review theirs. The people who care about reviews should learn to dish out what they want. And those that don't care to give reviews shouldn't expect to receive any. So as members if you all just decided to start doing that, it might change behavior. Of course there'll be some who give reviews regardless, but the point is this can be solved without any modly intervention whatsoever. |

Righto. Thanks muchly, Stal. ^_^
*came by to lurk a bit*
So...I'll just make the poll. Yup. We really have to establish once and for all the forum's stand on preview threads in relation to review threads.

Uh, Kat... ^_^;;; I kinda meant that each member should make up their own mind on the matter. Remember, we aren't a mob-rule forum here and enforcing something as trivial a matter as this on people ain't all that great. So as members you can decide for yourselves, but each member should be allowed to make their own decisions on what to do.
Take the preview threads for instance. If someone creates it before Tuesday, and you don't believe it should be created before Tuesday, then you personally ignore it and focus on the review thread. But you shouldn't force others to do that in this, as it's a very trivial matter...

I think that I am pretty much to blame for the Tuesday rule. When we started doing previews, they started around Thursday, and then started coming out earlier.
I was getting a bit perturbed last year when the issue reviews would come out, then the issue Previews would be posted 5 minutes later.
Of course, that was when the NT release was about as reliable as an NT plot. Which meant it came out anywhere between Friday and Tuesday. When the Previews thread came out, the Reviews thread pretty much dies out, so I was trying to give it a chance.
So, what should we adopt? Tuesday? Wednesday?

Wow, this thread got a lot of attention all of a sudden. ^^ I vote for making Previews threads on Thursday. They'll get started sometime soon after midnight, and people will have a whole day to post their previews. Most will have gotten their acceptance/holdover/rejection letters by then, and the NT will be ready to preview at that time. What about people who look like they're not doing reviews until the very end of the week when they put out several reviews at once? >.> Ah well... I think this idea is fair. Although I think people will review what they want to review, like it or not... as Pat was saying. Still, Previews threads do seem to drain the Reviews threads. It's like once they're released, everyone's so eager for the next issue to come out that they forget about the current one. It's happened to me, especially when I have nothing in the current issue and do have something in the upcoming one.  |

She read through the entire Cliff's Notes "Great Expectations" site. xD UN ROI! UN LOI! UN FOI! Wait. Wrong revolution. Was that even a revolution at all? Like this, there's no revolution. Just... a reform movement? xD |
