So how long do level approvals take?

Postby re11ding » December 11th, 2014, 7:49 pm

Yeah, basically the title asks what I want to know. I've been anxious for my level to come up as it appears there are still people who like to give feedback and what not. However I've posted the level 2 days ago and it's still neither approved nor denied. What's the average wait time?

Lol the irony, it's approved right now. I've needed to wait 5 days for the first time, but for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th time it was only one day. If your new level is isolated, it shouldn't take long. If there are many new levels at the same time, the lemons wait for a longer time to work through a pack of levels and then approve/disapprove them all together. Be thankful to them as they sometimes really get annoyed by extremely ♥♥♥♥ levels.

Thank you, FF.

Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

Yeah, the process isn't really automatic. It may take longer depending of whether the lemods are currently available. Plus, there were tons of other levels before yours to approve, so patience is required sometimes.

If you have any further questions about level approval, then don't mind PMing me, or any other Level Mod. Locked.
