It depends, I spent a long time evaluating every single calc in the eval thread, it never slowed down, sometimes it felt like things just got worse. I understand the frustation of things not getting evaluated, most of us were in that side as well, but when a CGM experiences the amount of stress it takes to wake up the other day with several notifications, sometimes an angry mob, as well dozens more calc to evaluate, they lose interest fast.
Thing is I do get dreading notifications, some very annoying debates do that to you, but the again, I would be absolutely happy if this wasn't the case, if you could do like 3-4 every 1-2 days and let it rest, maybe skip the difficult one if it's really bad - that would be ideal, in the context that at least half the people do that. That's really all. I can understand my calc sitting around when I just made it a few days ago but the issues starts actually appearing when there's people bumping for weeks or months on end.
For ****'s sake there's literally someone in this thread posting a pic of Drite refusing to continue a discussion like it's a callout, is it so difficult to put the dots together and realize that's exactly the type of behavior that makes the activity so frustrating?
I mean, assholes will appear in every strain of modertation, I understand it is frustrating but as I said, if even half of the current mod team did a few calc evals every day or every few days there'd be less drama for them and more evaluation.
If the people start debating it's not even necessary to follow up with them that much, I've had more than a few evals with Agnaa and if he said it was wrong then damn, guess it's going nowhere.
If the person really wants to fight it then he should either ask another calc mod or make a calc thread, leave it to them. If they don't, guess it wasn't meant to be.
You're very right, we did agree to this volunteer work. And "volunteer" means we do it when we want to, on our own terms. And since inevitably everyone comes to the conclusion that it's a thankless, frustrating and boring activity, that ends up meaning we do it very little. The idea that we should dedicate a time of our daily routine to evaluating calculations like it's our job is ridiculous. I get the frustration, getting calcs to be evaluated is really annoying, even I struggle with it and I'm obviously in an advantaged position. We all took the position knowing it would be mostly about calc evaluation, we're very well aware it's not done enough, it's not out fault evaluating calcs sucks ass and frankly you're not in the position to demand we work more, we're not paid and we have no obligation to actually do evaluations besides potentially wanting to.
It's not even a matter of 'work more' it's more so that there's calc members that don't even touch the eval thread. Again, if people don't wanna do it then they should quit doing it. This is the other side of it being a volunteer thing - you get to quit. If you quit people will stop bothering you, nobody will question you. What I question is that there's 20 people who got the position and yet there's people waiting for months for an evaluation, that is the issue, not you HAVING to do this.
If even a few, like in the meme, did a few evaluations every day or so then we'd already be moving along to some degree. That is what I want, some movement, not forceful work.
It is also more of an issue in my eyes because of the Calc evaluation thread specifically. it is meant to be a useful tool for the whole system, but as it stands its basically useless 90% of the time, there's pages and pages of unanswered calcs that still get bumped. At this point you could delete it and nothing would change.
My advice is, if you want an evaluation, make it as easy as possible for us. Make your blog in a way that's easily understandable. Explain the context of the feat, explain how you're calculating it and please please please upload the pixel scaling to the wiki, we all hate clicking on an imgur gallery to see it. I myself check all of the calcs that are posted on my walls, I just usually don't comment on them because they're either wrong in a way I can't easily explain and don't want to get into an argument over, or hard enough to understand that it's not worth the trouble.
Honestly agree besides the imgur thing, I don't really get why it's a problem unless you live in UK or Russia (here we've everything not working so like it's all the same). When you have several scans it's far easier to upload it to imgur or imgchest since Fandom only allows you to post like one image at a time and its a pain in the ass and the formatting for images is shit, I still haven't figured out how to allign them properly so they don't break everything immediately.
I will keep it in mind though, I was thinking of using it anyways, though long strips of manhwa will still probably have to go to the other sites as they're more of a problem for formatting or even just looking at them.
