Is it that bad?

We all have different ideas as to what’s good. In our case, we spent far too long searching for the content we’ve selected. It really shouldn’t be this difficult.

Based purely upon numbers, if we vote at 50%, we need 20 posts per day. If there are 11 teams, that’s 220. 7 days per week, we’re talking over 1500 posts per week of a sufficient quality to get support. Even the bigger communities have fewer than 200 active posts, most of which aren’t worth the bandwidth they’re consuming (both literally and mentally).

It’s literally a race to vote on the known authors which is why you’ll find that almost every comment under our posts is also supported!

How do you feel about joining our team for the week and experiencing it for yourself?

I know content quality is purely a subjective matter. But spelling correctly is a basic standard or is it not? Specially when it changes the whole meaning or makes the statement absurd?

Like I said, it was easy for me to judge, I didn't want to write this (knowing all the issues curators face) but there was this post that made me lose it. I know it's difficult and how time taking it is — thank you for the Maths, the situation sounds even more grave. 🙄

Especially 😜

It's very time consuming and I wouldn't be surprised if other curators take a shortcut to save themselves a lot of time. I'd definitely be more careful with pick of the week though!

I talked to the team about it earlier in the week as we were getting increasingly frustrated. As the week progressed, we upped our voting percentage to ensure that we could sleep!

Oops. Bad timing. 😅

I totally understand all the troubles. It gets more difficult with sc03 — the percentage handling.

That's just what I'm saying.

It's probably best that I avoid looking at what other people are doing. I was shared another "pick of the week" today and... I... erm... yeah. You know.

I couldn't quite understand it. I came to the conclusion that it was AI generated and then rolled through a good dose of dog shit to the point at which it looked clever... but was totally unreadable. Pick of the week that was. Funny how I was able to guess who nominated it too.

But they're "overcoming the difficulty" so you know, that's ok.


Did you ever play a game called "bollocks" at school?

I'm curious. I also found another. I wonder if we are talking about the same "pick".

"bollocks"

What kind of game is it? I can't recall. Maybe we have a different name for it here.

It was one of the usual countries. A country where you catch people from the same state over and over again!

Well, it starts quietly. With one student quietly saying "bollocks". The next person has to say it slightly louder. All without getting caught of course. Some would say, it's quite childish. I would be inclined to agree with that assessment.

Haven't played this game. But.... What people will say?!?!
