Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v3
 

where do I send files in the conditional queue to? ffrsubmissions@gmail.com?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v3
 

Yes, that is for both Special and Regular Batches. It's also mentioned in the Special Judgment System and Public Judgment System threads.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v3
 

January/February 2015 Set 1 is finished. The BSE is updated with the results, and the primary judge reviews are in the results thread.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v3
 

gamboy gave some much more in-depth reviews than I expected... I thought he would have basically rubber stamped the user reviews from the thread. I was kind of hoping judges would not have to go as in-depth as they did in the past (to save their time and review more songs), since the user reviews pretty much did that already.

tl;dr you did a good job gameboy, I just hope some judges won't have trouble writing as much in detail as you!

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v3
 

A lot of the time I found issues that weren't covered in the thread or I just felt I should elaborate on what was already said. The user reviews provided a really good starting point and actually helped reduce the amount of time I spent on the review.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v3
 

This is a reminder to myself to actually make fixes and not get lazy / forget.

As far as the two conditional accepts, to what extent do I have to change the charts for acceptance? I'm sure there's plenty that can be improved, but at the same time I know there will be some disagreements even after perceived issues are pointed out.

Also, why does Ant IDM have an asterisk?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v3
 

This is basically the rating appeal policy. Fixes are sent to ffrsubmissions@gmail.com and in the email, provide a list of what was changed and not changed. If something was not changed, mention the reasoning behind it and it can be reviewed. If there's still a disagreement, a second primary judge can look over the changes (such as myself).

Ant IDM has an asterisk indicating that it will be accepted on the condition that the issues mentioned in the review are addressed. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to make all the changes if you can provide reasonable justification, but they need to be addressed.

When fixes are found in the ffrsubmissions email, the file's status will be switched over to Pending Fixes (to differentiate from "Conditional Queue" which indicates there hasn't been anything sent).

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v3
 

The main thing I'm concerned about with Ant IDM is the PR stuff I mentioned in the beginning. Everything else I think is minor and isn't really a big deal if it doesn't get changed.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v3
 

Sent in fixes for ''Psycho soup''

The step by step fixes that I made are highlighted in the e-mail I sent.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v3
 

Notes for Set 2 in November 2014 have been posted in the Batch Review Thread. This leaves just Set 3 and Set 8 for the November 2014 Batch.

Results for November 2014 Set 2:

Conditional Queue
[8*/10] Exothermic (Overhead Remix) {Virt remixed by Yamajet} (bmah)
[7/10] Waves {AsphyxZero} (wv)
[7/10] I'm Getting Serious! {Furries in a Blender} (YoshL)

Rejected
[5.5/10] Space Threat {Pyramyth} (MarioNintendo & Xiz)
[5/10] Hajnal 2 {Venetian Snares} (FFR Pro 21)

On another note, the November 2014 Batch Page on the BSE site has some skewed numbers; I'm looking into this.
