A new rule to help our calc group members?

[Antvasima]

So should we just mention something like this then?

"Try our request threads first, and if that doesn't work, ask a few of our calc group members directly, but please focus on ones that have not already received a lot of such requests recently."

So would something comparatively simple such as this be fine to add to a VSB wiki rule page and our calculation request threads?

 

[Armorchompy]

Vague enough that I don't think it will ruin anyone's day, yeah

 

[ImmortalDread]

Tho, it is the same as mines, but without any time limit. Seems reasonable and intentionally vague to avoid conflicts, I think. I hope I was being helpful here.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for the replies.

In which section of which rule page should we place the text?

Calculation Evaluations (New forum)

I tried to handle it:

Do we need to update the page in question based on our current standards? It had not been edited since 2017.

Yes, there is an invalid link.

As our calc group members are people too, we realize that their work is time-consuming. Given the daily volume of calculations that the team is tasked with evaluating, it is important that you give your requests proper classifications, as detailed in our official Calculation Evaluations and Requests Instructions page.

Replace the link with this https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Calculation_Evaluation_and_Request_Instructions

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you. I have done so.

I was referring to the wiki page in question though.

 

[ImmortalDread]

Thank you. I have done so.

No problems!

I will check it.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you.

 

[ImmortalDread]

Oh, it needs a plenty of updates, I will create a sandbox and try to update it.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for helping out. Please explain the before and after changes though.

Obviously, as I usually do. No worries!

Thank you.

As the father co-parent of this beautiful page, I agree.

A bump once every 30 days seems excessive to me (if it has been a week+ I'm probably never looking at it), but I imagine each CGM can implement their own policies regarding that on their own walls if that is their wish.

Seems ok

Thank you. I have applied the suggested changes to the instruction page in question:

So, should we reduce the bump time to something less than 30 days, such as 14 days/2 weeks, instead, or are our rules fine as they currently are already?

Wait a little please. There is still a remaining issue here.

Two weeks seems fine, anything past that, then the group must either be swamped beyond belief (which I haven't seen outside of site-wide revisions), or they simply aren't doing it.

What do you think about this?

 

[Jasonsith]

Not that it helps or bothers if the "staffs" are busy IRL or got their "calculation / evaluation / research / revision computer" broke down or outdated.

This - to the request makers however - may help ease their anxiety but not by much until their requests are responded, resolved or rejected.

This is probably fine, but it won't completely resolve the concerns of regular users

 

[Antvasima]

Well, the main issues are if it is manageable for our calc group members and avoids too much spam.

 

[IdiosyncraticLawyer]

Bump.

 

[ImmortalDread]

Manageable and reasonable amount would be 14 days (always set a middle of highest and lowest possibility)

 

[Antvasima]

What do the rest of you think about using 14 days instead of 30 days between bumps?

I think that's a better number, aye. The general populace ought not to worry about bumping once in awhile solely because a few people overwhelm us.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for the reply.

So what is the tally here so far?

 

[IdiosyncraticLawyer]

Okay. Thank you for the reply.

Bambu is the only one who's fully assented to 14 days so far. Ping the others again, please.

We still seem to need your help here.

 

[KLOL506]

Pretty sure I also assented my vote here months ago. I'm indifferent on being personally messaged for calculation evaluations as long as the ones sending me the message are people we calc members personally know or they're staff members.

 

[Agnaa]

14 days seems better, I'd go down to 7 days, but don't mind this reduction.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for your replies.

I have applied the accepted change, and will check if it is necessary in our two main calculation request threads as well.
