*Appears from the murky crack he was lurking in*
OFPEC has always had some qualms over the review sections of the site, mainly down to several reasons:
1 - Too many submissions, not enough reviewers
This was rectified with hiring more reviewers, we had over thirty at one point
The result was we had lots of people to 'encourage' to work, as they were listed as staff, and we had strangely enough, less active people with more numbers. This is because of percentages. If you have ten, and two aren't working, you've got 20% of your workforce being bums. If you have thirty, and you have fifteen not work, you've got 50% of your workforce being bums. It wasn't even a case of being bums, it was just a case of, as OFPEC policy agrees with, Real Life comes first.
So as such, a small staff list is better than the sixty plus we once had
2: The Review system on the site to begin with, was basic cut & paste ASP or HTML.
This is, naturally, rubbish for a fast flowing review system.
It was updated, and is now a ninja of web interfaces.
3: Because of the HTML system, and the interruptions whilst things were uploaded, a massive backlog appeared, and I don't know the situation now, but it was never really caught up with and got on top of. Certainly not for the missions. When I departed company with OFPEC, it was improving rapidly though.
The new system was introduced, people were hired en'masse to deal with it.
More problems arose.
4: We recieved lots of faulty missions, lots of badly designed missions, lots of crap missions, and lots of missions using lots of addons.
All this adds to the Review time. If you have to hunt for obscure addons, if the Author hasn't bug-tested, if the mission is poorly designed so as to be unplayable.
We had a feedback system for the author, which worked well.
5: We review on quality over quantity. You will never (Hopefully!) see Reviews being churned out like hotcakes, because OFPEC, is OFPEC, and OFPEC is proud of being OFPEC, and what made OFPEC become OFPEC?
Standards my good man, standards.
If you can't iron the crease on your trouser, you can't have standards.
OFPEC has very sharp creases on its trousers.
(No idea where that metaphor came from)
