Well, self explanatory tittle i guess. Since the CJ thread is getting swamped lately and i see Izuna having a hard time to keep up i suggest that the next week of submissions the thread would be closed to give Izuna and the mods the time to check all submissions.

Checking is in page 313 and we are in the 321 (i think) page of the submission thread. I think it would help out as its way better when the submissions are just like 1 or 2 pages in difference as it gives you the opportunity to change and resubmit within less time.

It can't be closed anymore because people kept complaining about it being closed for long periods of time ect. But I believe Izuna does a great job at checking the custom jutsu's and therefor we won't have the same problem as the thread being closed for long periods of time.

Yes, in past that was the case. But i think that today, having it closed for a week when its nearly 10 pages long of cjs to check is actually a smart move. Izuna does a great job. He's attent to detail, he gives you a chance to edit and resubmit, he tries to help. I think the does the job very very well. But he is just a person.

I think it would help to have it closed for 1 week. But we'll see.

Exactly. This would be to help the people, and the mods. If people can't see that, then they must grow up and think properly.

The window is open so fresh air can come, just bear with with cold for now.

(Just thought of a nice quote to go with the situation)

In past people were complaining like:

"open it finally" and "when is it going to be opened again?" and "it would be better if it would be opened Non-Stop"

and now people complain:

"it should close as it´s too chaotic"


xd

that´s how it is, yes it is CHAOTIC A LOT atm, but hey, i myself think it´s better than it used to be (just my personal opinion)

Just would like to add to the quote:)

1st, to explain what's what.

Window = CJ thread (Note: Window is reversed. Opened = CJ thread closed, and vice versa)
House owner = Mods/Izuna
People in room = Us

Now, its understandable that the longer the window is opened, the colder you'll get. But, if the window is closed, Carbon dioxide will grow and the room will get out of control.

You would not freeze if the window is just opened for a week, so I know some people will complain about it, but you can't satisfy everyone. And those unsatisfied ones are mainly the ones who only think of themselves.

Why not make another mod that can have a job just to check the CJs along with Izuna?

@all: Thank you all for the support, I try my best :D

On topic: I was about to discuss this with the staff but seeing a thread was made I'll post my opinion here. I like checking customs, I've been a mod for close to 2 months and I'm not bored of it yet so my devotion ain't the problem here. The real problem is the overall number of customs that need to be checked.

As some of you already know, I'm currently a full time student. Having such a thight schedule in addition to the homework and hours spent studying, NB either takes my sleeping time or my study time. Lately I've been trying to focus a bit more on my studies and the result are those 10 pages ( not saying the other mods aren't checking customs, but recently it's been hard for everyone in the staff to do so). I've been thinking about many ways to manage both RL and NB, considering I don't want to leave NB nor start checking CJ by simply saying "declined", but so far they only involve changing the CJ thread rules:

-Leaving the thread open 1 week then closing it for a week.
-limiting the CJ submissions to 3 per weeks.
-?

The fact that I'm rarely declining customs for good seem to have influenced the submissions since most members submit their 5 customs every week. Think about it, that's 300 cj every week (considering 20 members submit 5, which is about right). Even if I check one page per day on average (50-65 customs) I simply can't catch up.

I know we could assign another mod to help me, but tue thruth is, I said I would take responsibility for thks thread when I became a mod, it's my duty to keep it up to date.

So please give me your honest opinion, would you mind any of the change I suggested above (1 or the other, not both).

I think the submissions should be 3 each week, that sounds fair.

I think that to maintain the quality of that thread like it is today, the ideal would be to have the thread open one week and closed the next week. This way you could continue to check with the same quality and attention to detail that you have been doing so far and members would be able to submit about 10 customs a month, which i think its pretty good considering that you can only submit 35 overall.

I honestly prefer to way a week to submit new customs and have them checked carefully and with detail and some kind of constructed input than have you and more mods rushing through the CJ thread with simple "declined" just to be able to keep up with the submissions.

As you say, per week there is about 300 to 400 customs (at least in the last weeks it was this way) which means that each day (without pause) you would need to check 50-60 cjs and this is considering you had no pause or anything else to do as a mod.

I'm in favor of both options as the final output would be the same (about 10 customs per month give or take). Perhaps this way people would actually think a bit more before posting the cjs and their quality would equally improve.

But this is just my humble opinion ^^

I'd give you an infinite amount of rep if I didn't have to spread it first lol.
