increasing the size of claims.

Hi, because there is a constant flood of interiors and we reviewers are no where near coping with this pace, I've thought about getting a solution for this problem. One idea I had was to make the claims bigger. Think about it for a minute; Nowadays when someone claims a shack, he or she can be done within an hour. But if someone claims 3 shacks, the modder is spending a few days on it. That will slow down the rate upon which claims arrive in the reviewer boards. And I don't think this will make it more work for a reviewer. The workload will actually be lesser because you don't have to download and TESAME and make a review about each single shack. So my solution will make sure that the reviewers boards appears emptier and the workload for the reviewers will be lesser. If we continue like this the second page will be up again in no time even if we work hard.

I am against this. We did it in the past and it led to confusion and shit. Honestly, we just need more reviewers if you think we are falling behind, and I don't think we are.

Another problem was that some of the grouped claims were too big, or that modders came and said "I'll do 1, 3, 4, 5 and 10 but not 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9, whether there were 3 buildings in the claim or 15. I did an Almalexia claim with 8 large buidings no problems though the former modder working on them had a whole heap.

I am also against this, for the reasons mentioned above.

Its too confusing once we get to the interior merging stage. It's really about having a core of active reviewers.

or maybe......

If we could assign a "review package" instead of individual reviews to do one at a time. Like if I want to review something I take the Stonefalls pack1 which would include 10 interiors to review without all the changing between different .esp files. The only thing would be finding an easy way to split the file after the review. Maybe the reviewer could just copy/paste the whole thing into a new cell and save that in a new file. If of course that can be done in the CS, I dont know since I've never actually tried.

That's just splitting hairs; the system we have is optimal so long as there are active reviewers

Ok then, I see your points. Then we have to find a way to get more active reviewers. One way is to see how we can persuade the people that occasionaly do reviews for the showcase to become active reviewers. Once we see that anyone made a good review, we should send them a pm. I think this will work with active people, because we can't use inactive reviewers.

Or we could use the ancient way and PM the most experienced interior modders to join in the fun of reviewing

That is the way Ludovic recruited me to reviewing.

Is there a shortage of reviewers?

Andres Indoril · Post by **Andres Indoril** » Tue Sep 25, 2007 2:29 pm

It seems so indeed.

Well, you interior makers are building the claims so fast and the only two active interior reviewers at the moment are nomadic and me. (although there some others which do reviews occasionaly, Serric and Swift oak and others). I'm very busy the next 4 weeks, so we could surely use some help. To give an example, I did the last review on friday and now we're 19 map2 and 3 interiors behind and then I'm not even counting the map4's.

we can always use more reviewers.

I suppose I better do some reviews tonight... everything depends on me if theviking is going.

All hail the greatness, the non-sedentarism and the ultimate-ness of Nomadic1.

Hey i have to work tonight and study for a test but tomorrow after work i can get cracking on some reviews i downloaded many of the current ints done but need only to find their exteriors.

Edit: how come my status isnt changed to reviewer yet and only says modder?

Thrignar Fraxix · Post by **Thrignar Fraxix** » Tue Sep 25, 2007 10:13 pm

oops, fixed

Golf ends thursday so I'll have time from then on.

The guar man · Post by **The guar man** » Mon Oct 01, 2007 7:51 pm

I may be a bit slow because i have to do all my transfers by the library and i work 5 days a week plus school so expect any reviews to be posted on mondays and thursdays.
