Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2
After encountering a logistical nightmare with one user, I unfortunately will have to revise the rules regarding sending fixes between a time a batch is filled out and before the batch is actually sent to the judges. Previously, you were allowed to send changes to the files you submitted for the batch even after closing until the judges actually receive the files for review. But now:
1) Any fix you may have had on a file after a batch is filled to its maximum slot will have to wait until after the original file has been judged. The first time the batch reaches 120 files (or however many becomes the maximum in the future) is going to be your deadline for anything sent to the batch. Simple. You may still request to delete your own files from the batch, however. The result will be that the next file in line that missed the batch will fill the remaining slots.
2) Jimerax and I reserve the right to refuse any request you may have on the addition or fix of a file, for whatever reason. I've received countless emails (particularly from one user, but not just that person) on people changing their minds on a dime. This naturally will happen from time to time, but this batch was filled to the brim with them. Don't be sloppy with your submissions*, or else I might just refuse your fix, or possibly may remove your files from the batch altogether if your requests become too confusing or demanding.
*[I'm not going to put a number on this, as I'll treat each person on a case-by-case basis.]
If you send six emails in a row with constant changes to your submissions, then change your mind and request to delete all of those files and replace other ones for instance - expect me to refuse your submissions altogether unless you had a damn good reason.
With that being said, I'll provide yet another image of the batch very soon (yes, it's changed THAT much) and this will be the final selection of files that will be sent out to the judges. Consider any changes on files for this batch from now on to be inadmissible.
