I understand people not wanting to go through a huge effort to clean up a problem for someone else.
guys, when you wanna do anything, go to the movies, go to an amusement park, go to a mall, go anywhere, if you realize a place is crap, do you try to volunteer to fix the place up, or do you just

I also think that a poll would be a great idea as I would really like to see where the weight of the community lies on this question. I don't mean to antagonize people about my advocacy for the pre-TGSAP scores. Increasingly I'm beginning to think that my assumptions about why people came to

i 99% agree garet (excuse the spelling i know its wrong but i[m too drunk to remember the right way). I'm pretty sure i offended jace somehwat recently, and sometime he needs the criticsim. but consider this, unlike the old tg that banned any criticism, jace at least allows us to criticize him.

MyOwnWorstEnemy hit it on the head - to address issues with questionable scores, I would look at reforming the Dispute Review System rather than setting aside 3/4 of the database into a static archive. Both in terms of workflow/process (eg. timely reviews, follow through on decisions) and the overall

So much to say, so little room to say it.Jace, usually when I hear a proposal to "do things differently," my first thought is "what's the problem that the solution is trying to address?" And I'm at a loss to identify a problem large enough to justify your proposal to create

i'm just happy to see a split, regardless of how that split happens, however
1. if more people prefer a filter than true split, i say give them that. no need to take the more controversai option when a less controvesail one exists
2. can you explain what technical aspects are preventing a
