Forum:CT Archive/Featured article nomination limit

In a recent meeting, the Inquisitorius review board decided to add the following rule to the FAN page:


 * Per Inquisitorius consensus, nominators are restricted to three nominations on the FAN page at any one time. Once one nomination is removed from the page as either successful or unsuccessful, another can be added.

Trouble is, they don't actually have the power to implement this rule. Their domain is limited by policy to only reviewing articles. So here's a CT so the userbase at large can make up their minds whether they think the rule is a good addition or not.

Arguments for:
 * Reduces the load on the FAN page.
 * Hopefully means articles will be reviewed faster.
 * By placing limits on the number of active nominations a person might have, that person might be more inclined to review articles to spend the time.

Arguments against:
 * All this does is create an invisible queue outside the FAN page.
 * The rule punishes productive writers because the Inquisitorius cannot keep up with the current pace of FANs.
 * This rule helps no one but the Inquisitorius, who can hide behind this instead of realizing their organization needs change.

Closing words: [20:10] <@CavalierOne> Support, but wouldn't this type of change need to be CTed? [...] [20:11] <@CavalierOne> I mean, look at the crap we got when changing the GAN rules. [...] [20:12] <@Toprawa> Why does it need a CT? [...] [20:12] <@Toprawa> We manage the FAN page. [20:12] <@Toprawa> That's what the Inq exists for
