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