I need an article mod who can pass impartial judgment on articles written here in the league. Handing out 5's just to hand out 5's is getting ridiculous. So I want an article mod to patrol that. Keep in mind that I'll also have an opinion, especially if you're wrong.
Apply in this thread. I'll choose one. $1M board cash per season.
EDIT: Any article posted as of now will be done based on vote. Regardless of whether or not I have an article mod, any article posted after this will be subject to the new system.

I'd assume so...and this is definitely a problem.

No more voting. People hand out 5's like crazy. It's dumb. Blame Shale.

I've been in leagues that have this, it works sometimes and sometimes people get pissy about the decision. Just make sure the guy that does it is really impartial

The other thing we need to figure out is the actual criteria of what a 5 star article really should be.

I would do this since I have no connection to anyone in this league, but I don't think I'd have the time.

At least 3-5 pictures with captions should be necessary for an article to get a 5, for one. Sophisticated questions are also essential. For interviews and roundtables, the answers need to look thought out, instead of vague bullshit due to laziness. In other words, when I read an interview/roundtable, I want concrete answers with specific details included. Dodging questions also should not be allowed. If a specific question is asked, a specific answer must be given in order for the whole interview/roundtable to get a 5.

You don't need fucking pictures for an article to be a 5...SMH

You don't need fucking pictures for an article to be a 5...SMH Yeah you do...I was told this by at least 5 GM's during the first article I ever wrote here. It may not be the most important thing, but if the content isn't the cream of the crop, additional pictures could essentially be the difference between a 4 and a 5.
