"ATTN: Active FFR Players/Community"
Yeah all 7 of you.

Re: ATTN: Active FFR Players/Community

This system is several years too late.

Re: ATTN: Active FFR Players/Community

And that was unfortunately beyond the scope of control that staff had compared to now. Rather than dwelling on the past, people should be helping to build this system to be useful.

But I digress and will leave with this point: you guys have something that could be beneficial if you're willing to work for it. That's all.

Make of that what you will.

Re: ATTN: Active FFR Players/Community

cynicism about what could have happened and the current state of things

vs.

doing things about the current state of things

take your pick i guess

Re: ATTN: Active FFR Players/Community

First build up the user base and then complain about lack of community participation


Adding more files to the game isnt going bring more people. There's an over saturation of files in game if anything we need to get rid of files before we even think about adding more in.

Re: ATTN: Active FFR Players/Community

i think the issues at hand are a little bit separate, because i don't deny at all that the song base is super inflated right now

Re: ATTN: Active FFR Players/Community

There are some new files I made in that batch that you guys would like I'm sure of it, please just try them

Re: ATTN: Active FFR Players/Community

Don't you want to finally see I Like Trains in game wv?

Re: ATTN: Active FFR Players/Community

I don't really care either way. I have two files to submit that were finished months ago and after that I'm done

Re: ATTN: Active FFR Players/Community

You still owe me Death Moon >.>

I'm slowly (but happily) coming back to FFR, I will check this judgement system later when I get home.

Re: ATTN: Active FFR Players/Community

Eta: soon

Re: ATTN: Active FFR Players/Community

It is a very good file.

Re: ATTN: Active FFR Players/Community

I don't think most users are aware of how much more is available to them compared to before:
- Judging has been structured to be more interactive. Previously users had almost no control over their submissions, and now there's a rating appeal and conditional queue process which allows users to communicate with judges. Many files in conditional queue still await a response from the original stepartist.
- Many obsolete methods used in the Batch System have been removed, and I've put in a lot of effort to set up a Search Engine to make information more accessible to stepartists. Look at any single batch page on the Batch Search Engine site and you'll see the most up-to-date information on your current submissions (and mention anything that may look off -- which can be changed).
- The Weekly Batch Updates have shown that we have made considerable progress. What makes it seem like there is a halt is that we're currently dealing with larger batches in November/December 2014, the Official Tournament Batch, and the Hard Songs Batch. The batches after January/February 2015 you'll notice are considerably smaller, and finishing the four batches than only have ~15 files isn't any better than saying we finished a batch with over 60 files -- it's just that "there are four batches" instead of one.

Our GM staff has put their efforts into making information more accessible and file submissions more interactive with users. The user community also needs to do its part. If anyone here is concerned about a large backlog of files, then I ask that those people contribute to finishing it up.
