2. Only veterans will have access to this engine, they can play each files and give a note on the files they like (or add comments if they see something that can be improved), scores are not counted
3. Take the 3-4 best files every week or keep the best ones for tournaments

What this will do...
-No limit on batches anymore
-A larger variety of files
-Give a meaning to the veteran title and involve them into the batch process
-Encourage people to actually be interested in getting the veteran title
-Plus a lot more I'm not thinking right now...

Also, people won't be able to create 50 accounts to upvote their submissions because of the veteran title thing.

Interesting. It'd be nice if we could put a rating system in the engine itself (4/5 arrows) to see who likes what.
only downside to it is
-some vets may not take it so seriously
-might be too much privilege for vets to be able to play files before others
(though it's not like we release the charts a week after getting votes in)
(we can also have the testing open for a week, every week. So it'll be two songs added in game. And two new songs to test or something)

edit: It doesnt have to be a final say in what gets in the game, but it can help wash out the bad files from the good. making the workload for the advanced judging team easier.
So, as you said, it gets the community more involved and feel just that much more needed/important in the future of FFR WITHOUT the added pressure of being an admin.
