A P E X
We place an enormous sum of faith in our Factory and Codex Judges.
They are the frontline soldiers who brave the tsunami of Chaos' creativity; and they do a damn fine job of it. I have been a frequent flyer of the Factory since its inception, and I can safely say that those wearing the Purple and Yellow are thoroughly trained, extensively well-versed in precedence, and can handle any submission that graces their forums. For that reason, I am calling for their empowerment. We, as a community, have no reason to doubt their abilities - the fact that the Factory and Codex are thriving without public cries of favoritism or corrupt judgments is testament to this. As such, I suggest that Staff elevate those positions to have the power to completely review and approve submissions without waiting for the stamp of a RPJ or Admin.
However, I add that peer review will be mandatory - meaning that, instead of an RPJ being the second set of eyes on a submission, it will be a fellow Factory or Codex Judge. Frankly, the Factory Judges are perpetually on the ball and I do believe that implementing this change will see submission turnover times drastically reduced. This will then alleviate another chore from the RPJs and Admins, who can then write more or focus on their chosen factions more as opposed to moving submissions for a fat second. So, let us as a community recognize our Judges. Let us empower them to do more, because they have proven time and again that they are capable.
