We've decided to give a more public judgement system a try, please be sure to read through this thread prior to commenting on any files.
Please go to the FFR Public Judgment System Thread instead. The original post can be seen below, but it is outdated.
Because our permissions don't allow for us to release the mp3's, all files will be loaded on to an FFR engine for you to look at.

Ordering
Files will still be grouped into sets of 5 (may be slightly more or less if the batch can't be split into multiples of 5). There will not be individual threads for each file as that would generate too much clutter. Older sets have a higher priority and will be stickied.
Current Regular Batch Orderings:
Genre 1 (Dance) - January 2015
Genre 2 (Dance 2) - March 2015
Genre 3 (Funk) - May 2015
Genre 4 (Arcade) - July 2015
Genre 5 (Rock) - September 2015
Genre 6 (Classical) - November 2015
Reviewing Files
When leaving comments for the files, please remember these following items:
-- Remember to view the links to the stepchart images! Just playing on the engine makes reviewing a file difficult, so please do not overlook this addition as it can enhance your review.
-- Place your comments in the appropriate thread. All currently active sets from the regular batches can be found in this forum.
-- Leave comments on all files in the set you choose to look at. Don't go through sets only picking certain files. The exception is if one of the files happens to be yours, in which case you must mention this to staff.
-- Do not be rude to simfile authors in your comments. If you find something you dislike, explain why and provide constructive criticism. Comments such as "this file sucks" will not be tolerated in addition to one-liners. In general, each comment should be at least two sentences if there is criticism.
In addition to the above, a primary judge (similar to a Reviewer Judge in the Lead/Reviewer Judge System) will still have the final say on whether or not a file is Accepted, Conditional Queue, or Rejected.
-- Note that stepauthors will not be included on files in the public engine (this follows the removal of stepartists from the Lead/Reviewer Judgment System when judging). It is your responsibility to mention to the staff which file is yours in a set.
-- Once the community has left some feedback on a set, a primary judge will look at the feedback from the community and look at the set themselves. They will then decide the status of the files within the set. This will prevent any favoritism or people pushing files into game that don't really belong.
-- The Primary Judge will be mentioned in the first post of the set threads to indicate who will be looking over the specific set in question.
-- If a set or file does not receive community feedback then it must have two judges review it before it can be Accepted.
Once a set is completed it will be moved from this subforum to the completed subforum.
Side Notes
Since the Batch Search Engine has information that is over three weeks old, look in the FFR Batch Forum with both the Active and Completed Sets subforums to see the status of the regular batches.
November/December 2014 Batch is following the Lead/Reviewer Judge System. January/February 2015 and after will be using this new public judgment system that is temporary for the time being.
