["Edit throttling" off-topic] US Editors promotions
"In no time" may be a bit of an exaggeration. Is there a standard set of specific rules that must be followed and applied equally when promotions are considered?karlcr9911 wrote:You have missed most of what has been said here or what is said time and again in the SM GHO - Edit count is not the sole measure and means very little when it comes to promotions in the US.
Continue editing, doing quality work, help others, participate where/when you can and you'll promote in no time - throttled or not.
As far as I know, there isn't. So while one promoter may promote very liberally, another may promote very conservatively. Also I have been told that a promotion can only come by a small number of seniors (I think it was RC specifically, but I don't recall off hand) from within your own editing area. Some of us have very small editing areas, so that severely limits us. But some of us also have editing areas that are spread across multiple regions, which gives a much greater chance. More people to make the promotion = greater chance of a promotion. And while they may like one editor and that one practically can do no wrong in the promoter's eyes, they may not like another for any reason = great chance of no promotion.
