Bank "Credit" Announcement

[adam2552]

To be fair it was rushed changing the rule as far as not being able to claim equipment with pending media. A decision that is extremely unfavorable especially with a shit load of brand new members. Many of which can be fickle.

I didn't change that rule.....

I didnt say you did. But someone did.

Is there a reason graders can't just grade anything in the main media section that doesn't say "not ready to be graded" whenever they can get to it and move it to the graded media subforum? There's nothing stopping people from commenting on it in there just as easily as in the main media forum.

I know, but the now the problem is mine to solve. We're working on it, don't expect a fix tonight, I will explore what's been suggested and what's best before jumping to a new system. We will have something new in place before a meaningful game is played.

This would be challenging for the graders to know where to start grading.  Articles would get lost in the shuffle.  I think the best option was Grapeheads suggestion of having a thread for players to post when their article is ready for grading.  Puts the onus on the author to request the grading.  Graders can go post by post, grading the articles.

Can graders add post icons to posts when they edit them? You could use that to mark a graded article.

There is still the issue that articles have to wait 7 days to be graded. Im not asking for instantaneous especially with the amount of players and articles but i dont think asking for a 3 to 5 day period all that much. And if so hire more graders. Plenty of people will be happy to claim job pay.

I assumed that the reason for the waiting period was so articles could be discussed, if you didn't have graded media isolated you could potentially grade them immediately.

Which still doesnt make sense. Articles should be graded in a timely fashion and have nothing to do with discussion. If you post an article and 5 days later someone posts anything in the thread, you now have to wait an additional 7 days making it 12 days of a wait. Articles should get discussion on it but not penalize the author in the process.

I apologize if you believe this was rushed, but I've had to audit several accounts over the past few weeks with players claiming upwards of $18m(!!) in one post. The situation has been out of hands, and if everyone wants the bank to run more smoothly we need to cut down on the negative balance accounts. This effects everyone though so nobody should feel disadvantaged by this rule.

Noted. Thank you.

When i say it was rushed i mean there was no discussion or forwarning. Its a huge pain in the ass to now go back and take out updates weve already posted regarding credit and equipment.
