New Queue Limit Now In Force?

Hi all,

Have dropped from a limit of 25 to 20 in the last half-hour or so. I guess the new queue limits have been applied?

Good for our newer members I suppose but seems a bit harsh on those of us who had a decent ratio but not so many shots in the database. Still, if it helps matters I'm all for it, although some advance warning would've been nice.

Looks like it Karl. If you click on the 'why' on the upload page for number of uploads permitted, it's all there. I can have 40 now without maintaining 90% acceptace ratio!! (not that I did very often).

It's a shame that the people that upload high quality shots have to suffer at the behest of people that continue to rant about how they can't get photos accepted here. I don't feel my uploads should suffer now by 5 slots since I take the time to learn PS and get good captures. I usually support this site but I have to say I think they got this one wrong. I think by not using the acceptance ratio as criteria and just using # of pics will only result in more mundane shots being uploaded and less risk taking.

Ah, but for that brief period of time when I had 30 slots a month ago... I've been mostly around 20 slots so I went from 20 to 15. It'll be a long time until I get 500.

That being said I am totally OK with losing some slots in order to make the system a bit more fair/what have you. Let's see how it works!

edit: Nick, if anything, having permanent slots means I won't be afraid to upload stuff I thought was interesting but on the margin before. It certainly lifts a bit of the dampers off.

Didn't realize it would be changing either. My limit was dropped by 2 but I've never maxed out my limit so not much lost. At least this way I might be tempted to try some more creative shots.

Guess we will see soon enough how it affects the queue volume  wideeyed

It has plus and minus points Darren. At the moment it's a minus for me but probably a plus for you. At least I can upload what I consider creatives without worrying about my ratio plunging. Was however always a challenge to try and get your ratio as high as possible - built a sense of achievement and I was well on the way to smashing my all-time high! After 1000 shots there's not a great deal to work towards now in my opinion.

I think some advance warning (a few days say?) would've been appropriate so those like me with a decent ratio but under 1000 in the database could've prepared and filled our allocations.

I'm a little disappointed that, of the two most popular options, this one was chosen. I much preferred the idea of having slots 'on the side' (based on 'regular' accpetances) which could be used to try the more 'daring' images without affecting ratios.

Still, we asked for change and we got it. Let's see how this pans out. Initially disappointing for a few I dare say but it could end up being beneficial. I personally think it's a bit generous to those with under 99 shots online.

No complaints here. I never have more than 3 or 4 in the queue at one time anyway. Always afraid of an entire batch getting rejected...   Doing just a couple at a time made me a little more careful.

I was a little shocked though...I need 296 more accepted before I get those 5 slots back. Ouch... Oh well, they were wasted slots anyway. I could lose another 5 slots and it wouldn't affect my uploading habits. But I imagine this will affect many, and they probably wont be happy with the change.

About the old way. I never worried about my ratio having an effect on my slots. I just use it as something to measure my performance. My ratio has improved greatly over the past year and I will still monitor it in the same way I always have.

I think, overall, it's a good change. The hit that some take (going from 20 to 15 slots, for instance) is minor overall when most people probably stand to gain slots. I might have kerjiggered the transitions a bit more (going from 100 to 500 to 1,000 could have been broken up with two more steps) but overall it's pretty fair I think.

While Nick is right that less risks will be taken, it's because a lot of the "risk" has been removed from the equation. It's much less risky to upload now. So shots that may have been "risky" in the past are no longer risky - you stand to lose nothing by uploading them now, other than some time spent in the queue and a reject email.

That doesn't make what Nick thinks as risky shots any less INTERESTING, though, and without the risk, interesting stuff, even if rejected, will probably increase in the queue. Because in the end, only you control what you upload. Go nuts and submit interesting stuff.

So? There is just as many that won't try other type of shots like night and cabin shots because of this but it's a cop out. If you look at most with low acceptance ratios it's not because they upload creative shots that have a higher risk of rejection it's because they don't pre-screen, don't try to improve their skills and use the autopsy approach by just uploading everything without limiting their uploads to their better captures with good edits. Which is fine but why should others be effected?

I don't know. Those with proven records could've filled their slots if they stood to lose, while newbies would have perhaps held off until the changes. A case of cancelling out. Relative newcomers are certainly going to fill their boots now anyway so a swollen queue is inevitable I think. As a result (for better or worse, I don't know) I doubt there'll be as many images from the older hands in the stack. Again, I think this new system is too generous to newcomers.

I don't think ultimately this will be an unfair system, although it's going to initially hit those with good ratios but with under 1000 images. It's a Robin Hood-type affair - robbing the rich to give to the poor, which I don't entirely agree with but hey...

It gives newbies a chance but to the detriment of the seasoned folks (and I'm not saying I'm a seasoned guy) - my hard-earned slots have been taken away and awarded to someone else.

Whether we'll see a huge queue increase I don't know, and it remains to be seen whether the quality of shots in the queue (not quality of accepted) will take a dive. I'm willing to give this a shot but I really hope it doesn't lead to a dip in quality or a totally out-of-control queue.

Look at it one way - this system works at 'another place' so perhaps best not to be too hasty!

It has ups and downs - I never said I wouldn't get used to it. In fact I've said several times above that it'd be interesting to see if it pans out okay.

When I lobbied for change I was a voice for quite a few people and stated at the time that, of the two systems discussed, I preferred the other. I also stated that I would go with the flow - which isn't to say that I agreed with it. Most seemed to prefer the revised method activated today, which meant I had to put my own opinions aside.

As for being vocal, I don't see any issue with it unless it's abusive or threatening. I'd like to feel as though I've played a part - however small - in this community.

That is the part that scares me, or at least makes me think it might scare the screeners.

I hope they don't get inundated with thousands of badly lit, poorly composed images under the guise of creativity.

The forum is already full of threads from people that can't or won't take responsibility for their own image making, now that burden will likely shift to the screeners... I hope not.

Remember folks, self screen and be your own harshest critic.. only upload your best.

Having said all that I applaud the move, the team responded to the community, now the community must act responsibly

It means hat there will be no more moans and groans about borderline images,acceptence ratios AND there will be more variety because we've all seen it were one or two pages have been taken up by a photographer that has decided to upload 25 photos at once of all 737's at an airport in one day!

So in my opinion it was a good idea.

I personally never considered it harsh on newcomers. I know a lot of newcomers (new'camers' actually  Wink ) who've progressed here and whose slots are/were up into double figures. Not that long ago I was new here and if I can manage it without moaning that it's too hard anyone can, as I'm still completely useless with Photoshop.

Making it slightly easier for newbies was an issue brought up a lot and it was a majority thought so when I was a sort of 'spokesman' the other week I had to lobby for it. I didn't however think that to accommodate this we'd have to get tougher on the more experienced folks.

I will say again, I'm a little surprised how quickly it's sprung up, but I'm willing to put my initial impressions aside and see how things develop. I may be quite surprised and I hope I am.

The team seem surprised by some initial moans but surely they knew they weren't going to please everyone in one fell swoop? I urge the community to indeed express first thoughts but to wait to pass final judgement until we see the new system up, running and influencing.

Cheers,

Karl

But, good job by the powers at be that are obviously trying to make changes for the better. Kudos for them for listening to people's issues and doing something.

I would hope that IF the queue time goes from 1 week +/- a day or two to 2-3 weeks, that we would simply re-visit this change to continue to improve the process. I have faith that this would happen.

As of now, for me, I would not worry as much about uploading creative or risky shots and how it impacts my slot allocation. However, I will continue to use pre-screen threads and get other members input / self screen prior to uploading.

And like others have said, just because I have the slots, doesn't mean I'm going to use them.

Thanks guys,

Ron

I fear this may happen but we don't yet know. Similar systems work effectively elsewhere. I personally don't mind (too much) a longer queue so long as the quality of acceptances is maintained. Someone can indeed throw loads of poorly-lit images in the queue and clain creative but after so many rejections surely an individual will give up? Or at least reconsider? Let's face it, you still need acceptances to build your slot allocation. Longer queue no doubt but the same quality and perhaps more genuine boundary-pushing shots from new photog's.

More attention paid to the pre- and post-screening threads could effectively prevent the queue from getting insanely long. New folks with newly-awarded slots could be actively encouraged to make full use of the various aspects of the photog forum.

I know this sounds harsh but if an individual with, say, 2 -11 shots accepted starts to abuse the system constantly with bad or misleading images, and this persists, perhaps some sort of polite generic warning can be issued. Too many such warnings and your queue limit is frozen for a certain period of time.

Edit: In fact, slot abolition if someone starts flooding the queue with bad images should cover everyone, irrespective of how many previous acceptances they have.
