In Need Of Money (Grading)

[lemonoppy]

Help, in need of money. I've got a question about media grading in the SSL and forum usage. Naturally, with how money is given out for PTs, you'd expect the backlog to clear out every week, every week someone grades all the stuff, pays out, and then you've done PT grading as well as the media grading. For my first PT, I did a few different things, to test out the time it takes to get that sweet cash, and it seems a little log-jammed at the moment.

For what it's worth, I've gotten my TPE for that first written task I did, but no money, which seems strange, and in the article subforums, nothing has been moved to graded since the end of May, which clearly is out of the ordinary, since people need to get paid and graded for their stuff. In fact, on 11/11, a Roquefort gave an article a 3/5 grade, probably meaning they get some money, but that article got bumped up in the forum rankings because of the latest reply on a post. To do some investigating, I looked for the oldest post that has not been graded, aka, has 0 replies, which is this one: https://forum.simulationsoccer.com/showt...p?tid=8074

The End of the Academy Season & The Draft, by Nike, posted on October 12th.

Super reasonable to miss something, and that's cool, but I think there is some small inefficiency where a PT grader does not also do Media grading as part of their job, maybe it's a bit of other overhead going through, but it seems like you could very easily combine both jobs and help give us money to buy our footedness

The pt graders just check the weekly pt thread, many media pieces aren't submitted to the weekly point task thread anyways. The bounty graders give the grade and send the payment to banking who then processes it. Last season there was a bounty backlog(a little over a month behind for a while) and new bounty graders were hired to catch up but its still getting there. You can sort by creation date to see when the post is created. For articles, it looks nothing posted after October 27th has been graded yet(around 65 articles), anything posted before that that has not been graded might have been missed and that person should probably ask about it if they aren't sure. Hopefully by end of this season the backlog will be caught up and one week turn around on grading may become possible.

As the weekly PT grader, I personally do not have an eye for what makes a good graphic or most other forms of media even. Plus, having to give a grade as well would mean that the core mechanic of the league, getting more TPE to upgrade your player, would be even slower.

The money gradings are a bit behind due to the timing of bounty grader staff changes and unavailabilities. However, the team has done a great job catching up.

We had a big backlog that we're working through. But since it's the future now, the backlog's cleared thanks to a certain someone.
