Since that's going to be 95% of people who post articles in the media section, it would have been easier on everyone to ask people who don't want their articles graded to do an extra step.

IMO, if it's posted, it's ready to grade, unless it's explicitly stated it's not ready to grade. From a graders perspective, it just requires you to check the post for something indicating it's not (which would be easy assuming graders actually read/scan articles already). That's going to rarely happen and even when it does most of the time it's less than a couple days before it's done.

I would be more inclined to suck it up if i saw a benefit to it for the graders, but really seems like this really doesn't make the job easier at all. now instead of lookign for articles in the media section they look for articles in a thread? Doesn't seem to make a real difference

And yeah i mean nothing stopping graders from just saying "we will grade your topic ASAP, and if you dont like it, either say so in your article or suck it up!", feel like that would be the better option

If we did this we would have to set 1 grader specifically to grade stat articles as they are done on a subjective rubric and can't be auto paid.

Thoughts?

This seems to put the majority of the work on the writer and hardly anything for the graders. Am I missing something? This seems like a worse idea for people already complaining that this ready to grade thread is too much work for them. I guess I don't see how they get paid faster if they still wait for a grader to post it in the bank once a week.

I think the Google Form is better than having users post the amount in a thread because it would do all the calculations and formatting, writers would just enter their Username, link, and word count.
