The University of Petraea's Doctorate of Historica Program

Well, this isn't the most automated system but it could work. It's a Google spreadsheet that anyone with the link can access and edit (no need for a Google account, to lower entry barrier). If security becomes an issue (which I doubt), we can always distribute the link only by PM to voting Kaliphlin members.

Voting Spreadsheet

The idea is all of us would insert new entries as they come up, and when we vote on a topic, we ourselves go over to the link and write our name and green for approval or red for denial, for each credit. I've started with a real entry (Darkness in Mitgardia 4) and two fake ones, to demonstrate other "voting states".

It would be of great help to ask credit claimants to post on this thread, so it's easier for us to add new entries. I volunteer to remove entries that have either passed or failed completely once per week, and then update this thread with the results (every Monday, so we divide entries week by week).

Thoughts?

That sounds like a good system, but there are a few problems that I see with it - first of all, it moves the base away from EB, which makes it harder for new members to get involved. That's probably the biggest problem. The second is that it would require a deal of work on your part, and the initial idea was to make this as self-sufficient as possible.

The Mitgardians haven't had any complaints about their system so I don't see what's wrong with ours (except that it's less subtle). Maybe if we lowered the passing to three +1s (because it does seem like any MOC that gets that far gets the fourth without much trouble) or two -1 to fail (same reason), that would help MOCs to get through within the normal life of a thread. (The downside of lowering it is that new members could take over the approval process easily, which means required quality could go down - nothing against current new members though!) It's understandable that dG would rather not open an old topic just to read '+1', but the only ways around that take a lot out of the program in other areas.

Also, just as a general tip (and maybe this could be edited into the thread), if your MOC has a -1 on an area (or an 'I'm not going to give you credit for this') it's recommended that you retract your claims. That way we don't have a pile of old MOCs that have 1 negative - no one's going to bump an old thread just to say they don't approve.

And on the subject, I'd like to claim credit for snow and ice (Landscape Design), shipping by land (Trade and Law), and life in Mitgardia(Anthropology) for my Oil for the Mitgardians build. And missing 1 1/2 for Stranded.

Edit:

Posting claims on builds this old bumps the thread too much in my opinion, better to only put the claims in the general UoP thread.

But as this thread is already bumped, I'll give you +1 on all four

As Gideon brought the topic up in narbilu's thread, I thought I'd mention that IMHO if an MOC is applying for credits for the first time it should be done that way. At least that's how it was initially set up with the Advanced Placement builds (which is basically what NB is doing here) - even though builds could have been as old as June15th, they were still bumped in that way.

Now if a build is only missing one credit I can understand it being carried out in this thread. But it's still a lot more complicated (I can't see whether I've already responded, for example).

Obviously there's nothing technically wrong with bumping a thread for those reasons, or we would have been told so. Of course we want to be considerate to non-participant GoHers as well, but I think we've struck a pretty close to fair balance. As I said, ideally a MOC would pass within a few weeks, and we could tweak the system to facilitate that, but I don't think we should make any major changes, at least if they're going to influence the rest of the program so decisively.

General Building: interior design, 1 credit.

[SkaForHire]

Well, we do seem to have a backlog here. I think one of the problems is that not everyone comes to this thread first to look at new MOCs. I wonder if adding a tag to the title [uoPNeed] or something a long that lines would not help. Then when it succeeds or fails, we post back in this forum, and I erase that tag from your title. What do you all think?
