But I find it a little difficult to see how you can participate unless you’re one of the small handfull of reviewers with a constant level of high activity:

If you aren’t paying really close attention to the PT on a daily basis, how are you supposed to spot eligble (new) files among all the resubmitting and reviewing activity in the “recent activity log”?

Isn’t it possible to automate the process and make a true “recent uploaded files”-log like the “recent activity log” - And if so, perhaps even feeding this list into the voting module automatically so that all new parts participate in the contest and no one gets overlooked:

Assuming that the number of truly new parts each month is rather limited, I can’t really see why a “House of Lords” of super reviewers (and occasional author) should need to keep track of the recent files, and have an initial “vote” on which parts they’d want to redirect to the admins, and make the admins spend time adding the parts to the list manually - before the general LDraw audience even have a real chance to participate...

I really hate to sound like the average lugnet bitch here, but I can’t help feeling that the current model creates unnessecary work and hurt the democratic process...

Cheers NB

Hi Niels,

I could be misreading you but just in case it reads as though you are assuming that the reviewers submit the part for voting. That is not the case, the author must submit their own part which means that if you’ve submitted something the onus is on you to have it voted on. I imagine some part authors (like me) wouldn’t want some of their parts in the competition.
