News and Announcements / Characters: 09/19 - 09/25 Missing Applications

« on: January 17, 2006, 12:41:16 AM »

Some of you may be wondering what is going on with Characters.  Two of the batches have been processed, then there seemed to be an unusual amount of people whose applications seem to have never been received.  This, of course, had many of us on staff wondering what was going on.  So after some digging through backups it seems that the batch of applications from Sept 19 - Sept 25 never got to me during the Characters staff changes.  This means those applications, many of them in regards to the Sept 19th characters troubles removal, were never sorted into the batches.

Please read more about this situation and what's being done to resolve it on the updates blog:

Thank you.

Questions for the Senior Staff / category suggestion

« on: May 01, 2005, 10:31:20 PM »

Hi Guan. -_-

I believe, the general consensus is that an "Artbook Of: Series" fanlisting is essentially the same thing as saying you are a fan of the art of said series which is really, really close to the same concept of a general series fanlisting.  This is because the art of the manga-ka or animators/character designers is probably 80-90% the, errr...soul of a series.  [The other 10-20% compromising of music, plot/story and any of the other factors that compromise a manga or anime series.]

I really don't know if I'm making any sense, I'm having a difficult time articulating...

But yes, we have discussed this before and Artbooks Of being so close to just an Art Of fanlisting and that seeming redundant when paired with the existence of Series fanlistings is why the decision was no.

Questions for the Senior Staff / If it isn't too bold to ask...

« on: March 05, 2005, 10:59:09 PM »

Well.  For one, staffers do not make the decisions for fanlistings they themselves have applied for.  Usually, a staffer who decides they'd like to apply for a subject and if that subject ends up having more applicants then that staffer passes the decision onto another staffer or to the senior staff.

An example of this is when I applied for the series Johnny The Homicidal Maniac over at TFL.  Obviously, I can't be fair and unbiased since I staff the comics category, JTHM being a comic series.  So I made a request for another staffer to make the decision for me.  Someone volunteered and from that point on treated it as he/she normally treats applications.  [In the end, I didn't get approved - oh well!  Heh.]

Another example, if you're looking for a TAFL related one, is that I am helping out with the C/I applications.  However, I informed the C/I apps staffer which subjects I'd applied for so that I wouldn't get those subjects to make decisions on.

The only case I've ever known of, of staffers ever approving themselves, is for subjects that have no other applicants - except for the staffer. :bounce:  If that's the case, then I don't see there being a problem, since no one else applied.

I hope that helps with your curiousity!

General Questions and Discussion / Change your board username or delete your account

« on: January 25, 2005, 06:33:41 PM »

If for some odd reason you would like us to delete your account, or change your board name - post here and I will take care of it ASAP.

Just a few guidelines.  Please don't change your board name every day, every week or some other ridiculous time frame. ^^  It's understandable that you can outgrow your username, or alias - but it's a bit silly if you start acting schizophrenic.  If myself or anyone else on staff feel like you are a name change abuser, your requests will be denied until further notice.

Second, don't ask me to delete your account and then sign up seconds later with a new one.  That's pretty silly if we can just go ahead and change your username for you. :x

Questions for the Senior Staff / A few questions..

« on: January 22, 2005, 05:30:52 PM »

Hi there. :x

There are several ways you can let us know that your email has changed.  You can send a contact form to each category or to the senior staff via this link:

http://animefanlistings.org/contactus.php

Just explain your email has changed and remember to include your new email address.  [Some have actually forgotten to include that. :x]  This is perhaps the easiest way to let us know you've changed your email address.

Yes, a valid email address is required to join a fanlisting, though typically depending on how you maintain your fanlisting, the joinee usually has the option of being able to hide their email address.  Emails are required for basic maintenance purposes, so that FL owner can update them of important updates, like if the FL were to change locations.

I hope that answers your questions. :x  Be sure to check out the FAQ and Rules if you're new to fanlistings.
