Re: ATTN: synthlight

The judging system is is completely automated. Users submit via a web page form and judges can play embedded on the page. They then accept or reject and leave comments that the artist can see. This system is fairly new and unique.

Re: ATTN: synthlight

Sounds easier being automated. Only thing I want to know is if the embedded file can be slowed down, backtracked, or paused. In SM, you not only have those functionalities, you can specify your comments based on specific measures. Does this automated system have such things to make it easier for a judge to review a file and be specific about it as well?

Re: ATTN: synthlight

It cannot be slowed down, but it can be autoplayed with a progress bar that allows you to backtrack or pause, or it can be set on preview mode which allows the judge to actually play it. Slow-down could be implemented though, no one has actually mentioned that but it is a good idea.

Hm, measures could be added as well. Too bad you didn't suggest this in the KBO thread lol.

Re: ATTN: synthlight

All submissions including recent ones sent into KBO have been judged, reviewed, rated, etc. it's just the notes have not been posted publicly or rather are not available for non-judges to view. Judges are working "behind the scenes" so to speak so don't assume nothing has actually happened. On the contrary judges are very active and everything sent up to date has been judged and have been labeled accepted or rejected. The file submission progress thread really needs a long overdue update.

Re: ATTN: synthlight

Really what matters is letting the simfile artist and the judges know about submission progress. IMO it doesn't need to be any more public than that. I don't even know if that thread is even needed anymore.

Re: ATTN: synthlight

the new system is way better. everything is posted there and done within seconds for the submitter only to see. love that.

Re: ATTN: synthlight

yeah

when the final judgement of the file is done, judge's comments could be public though.

**Sprite-** · 10-11-2010, 09:45 AM

Re: ATTN: synthlight

Whyr? No one but the artist needs to know what the comments are.

**jimerax** · 10-11-2010, 09:48 AM

Re: ATTN: synthlight

just because there's no reason to make them secret

**Sprite-** · 10-11-2010, 10:01 AM

Re: ATTN: synthlight

But there's also no reason to have to do extra work to make that capability...

Re: ATTN: synthlight

would be too much work to pm them to everyone individually for every file.

hmmmmmmmmmm

**Gundam-Dude** · 10-11-2010, 10:31 PM

Re: ATTN: synthlight

Which is why the submission thread should be updated at the very least. For actual in-depth reviews I guess people could request for them by posting in a submissions discussion thread or something. Then one of the judges could just simply copy and paste whatever notes there are for the file.

**bmah** · 10-11-2010, 10:54 PM

Re: ATTN: synthlight

All I really was requesting earlier was some sort of acknowledgment that the judging process was active, and this can be shown simply by making a thread update. Lengthy, measure-to-measure reviews can be made upon request of the individual.
