Surprise! Updater's Update (August 10th, 2013)

[MaestroUGC]

If somebody want to move to the veterans thread the best way is to ask the updaters. They'd be the ones who will say "Your sheets are good, you can get in the fast lane."

[SlowPokemon]

Also, theoretically, if arrangers post in their personal threads before the submission thread, they should be able to iron out the formatting errors and simple problems before bringing them to the updaters.  In a perfect world.....

Yep, that's a great idea...however...most of the banter in the individual threads though is "I like this arrangement" or "I love this piece" or something like that. That's not bad or anything; it's actually what one would expect. But currently, most serious feedback is either done in private or on the submissions thread.

I'm ok with Maestro's idea as long as people don't complain if they're on the lesser thread

[MaestroUGC]

Don't think of the two as "lesser" or "greater", instead think of the Veterans' Thread as something to strive for.

I've thought about problems with that new system you've proposed Maestro.. And I can't seem to think of any.

I'm on board with this idea.

Me and Maestro talked about it for a while before he posted this. and guys, honestly, with a little cooperation, this would work very well. I'd be running the thread single-handedly, allowing for no communication jumbles (one-on-one) and no waiting on a third party. You all saw me do it in the past and I can do it again. If you want this to happen, please do let us know, I'd love to see it happen as well, because I thoroughly enjoy updating, you know!

Each updater would have their 'way' and could work how they need to work. That's surprisingly important.

[MaestroUGC]

Of course it's perfect!

I mean, thanks. I do what I can.

[Jub3r7]

I think I like it. What does Olimar think of the idea?

[Winter]

Let's just say Jamaha likes it

[Jamaha]

I guess I should give some kind of Jamaha Seal of Approval™.

Considering the scarcity of updates lately, it's probably a good idea to try new updating methods. And if this doesn't work out, it's not like everything's ruined.

I assume the updating team can discuss this between themselves to figure things out. Of course I'll help with things if necessary but other than that, feel free to give this a shot.

EDIT: Damn you, ruining my shocking revelation.

[Olimar12345]

I am totally for this idea(I swear I've suggested this before, or at least something similar). I'd be more than happy to create a sort of "intro to arranging" section for beginners.

I do not, however, think that we should abandon the dual approval method for the faster submission section. If it does comes to that, all sheets should at least be compared to their original sound file before being hastily uploaded.

Winter: i truly do not mean to offend you by this, but I am not quite convinced that you are up to par on your music theory. I'd prefer we discuss this in private though, so I'll contact you later.

Well we can still upload it and if someone has a problem with it they can bring it up in a topic or something, couldn't they?

Better to do something rather than nothing, which is all we've been doing lately. -_-

[Jamaha]

Well, we've had problems in the past with people getting all mad for the uploaded sheets having errors and problems.

The whole "horrible sheets getting on the site omg" fiasco was the reason for the two updaters solution in the first place. But then we have the problem with slow updating. So we obviously need to find some kind of solution between those two extremes.
