Need more active mission testers

[Blacknite]

I have noticed that the mission that needs to be reviewed are stacking up since last month.  We need more mission testers.

RL stacks up quite a bit, and since this is a volunteer job, wherein we don't get paid ( :'( ), then our jobs, school or what not have to come first.

To answer your statement though, yes, more reviewers would be appealing. But patience is the answer. We will in time manage to slug through the pending list, it just takes a few days... weeks... years...  

In fact, on my calendar for this weekend I have some time slated for mission reviewing.

Just a suggestion but I think it would be a lot easier if you just let anyone review any mission and then add a link on whatever mission that some one reviewed for something like "View unoffical reviews" and then just keep the official review on the front page of the mission. This may be a lot of work but I think it would be worth it.

We actually have such a system implemented.

If you notice, there is a drop-down list of scores, and then a button that says 'Rate' on the Mission Details page. Then you just include your own un-official review using the 'Add Comment' box. Therefore, your review is visible under the official one, and you can input how you feel it should be rated.

Oh. Well than it was a good idea nonetheless!

Easier said then done. I just tried last weekend.  

Part of the reason we also don't hire 17- people is because of immaturity. I'm not calling anyone immature here, but it's impossible to predict if any one person can be relied upon, can accept the responsibility of OFPEC staff, and can behave themselves. If they aren't reliable, responsible, and mature, we don't really have a use for them on staff. To help weed out some of this, e enacted the 18+ policy. Since an 18 year old is considered an adult, and he/she usually has to generally fend for themselves now, then they usually have good/decent responsibility etc .... you know the rest.

[NOTE]: That's my guestimate on it as an OFPEC member putting aside my position as staff temporarily. Artak can whip out the manual and give you the offical policy and whatnot. I don't speak for OFPEC per se on this one.
