WIP Board?

[Deleted]

Since I have noticed a lot of people post their Pending Applications and stating that they are a Work In Progress (I do the same thing since I am using the forum with my phone and it is difficult to post all at one time.) I thought somehow it may be helpful if there was a WIP kind of sub-board where people could post their WIP apps. I'm not exactly sure how well it would work, I just feel guilty clogging up the Pending Applications with my WIP's. ^^;

I think that would actually be less helpful to staff because we wouldn't easily see that the app's finished and it would require more app movement. I find it much easier to just sift through and skip over the WIPs until they're finished.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. ^^; That would be a lot of work.

Alternate idea (but similar), make a "WIP" board that doesn't require any accepting/denying of the applications. A place where you can post your own app, work on it til it's done, but then copy/paste that (finished) app in the Pending board. That way, only finished applications are in the Pending sections, and you don't have to worry about skipping over unfinished apps. It wouldn't require any moving of threads, since it's the poster's responsibility to copy/paste that post into the appropriate board.

Or, other idea, make a WIP thread, where users can post their unfinished apps as a reply and go back/edit that post at their leisure.

Either way, I think /some/ form of WIP board/thread (or even a "testing" Board, where users could make their own thread for their testing templates/also post WIP apps to complete) would be a good idea. The computer I use isn't my own, so I can't just save the file as a word document, and I can't always finish an app in one shot, either.

I'd really rather just leave things alone on this matter, at least for now. I've been too busy even to check apps or even really respond to PMs. I have been in the cbox a little bit, but I've been doing a lot lately. I'll think more on this later.

I would honestly rather people just edit to finish, though.

I know I do not speak for every app-checker when I say this, but I personalty don't mind WIP apps one bit. As long as the title says "WIP" and doesn't cause people to think that it is finished when it is not, I don't see any problem with them. As Mid said, one can just go back into the app, finish it, and then post and/or change the title when they have finished the app. I post WIPs all the time when I adopt kits so that I can get the majority of the app done, mull over what I think the personality should be, and then finish it.
