Care to say which ones, AND explain why? I would say that the quality has been increasing as people have been getting better and more experienced.

Yes, some did. And some went the extra mile. The problem isn't with the judges or system as some whole, it's that there was a coinciding of numerous personal failures and the fact that a lot of people had to put stuff off for final exams; a few people were behind, which motivated others to not worry about being on time because they thought they wouldn't be the last ones, and a couple just straight out did nothing -- it's their personal fault and it's being dealt with... it's not the system or the workload, as can be demonstrated by the fact that other judges did everything well and within the timeframe.

Right now if I was judging a 70 file batch, I would tell myself "I AM ONLY ACCEPTING X AMOUNT OF FILES." There will be deserving files that would be left out, but that's why you're called a judge. Make the decision to pick the absolute best files.

Again, this would be a decent point if there was some need to control the total volume of charts we'd want in the game. But I don't agree with that. And either way, it would lead to marginalizing stepartists who weren't as elite but were still capable of producing charts slightly above acceptance line that are still enjoyable to the community, and would really eliminate the opportunity for new stepartists to rise up.

I'm glad that the judging system is being reconstructed lol

"lol"

That smugness is really appealing to no one as it's known that you were a significant cause of the troubles with last batch.

It's something I did a long time ago and I can still pick out what is good and what isn't. I don't doubt many people have improved over time, and that's a good thing

You might.

Please do.
