Young Writers Society

After a whole lot more work than I anticipated, the Young Writers Society now has a newer and much better Nominations area. You'll find it under the Community tab.

Subsequently, the nominations forum is now closed. All nominations must from now on be made through the Nominations area. Now, as a result of this, any currently open nominations will have to be entered again. This should be only a minor, and brief, inconvenience.

For the most part, I think the Nominations area is pretty straightforward. However, if you find any part of it confusing, please let me know here. The same goes if you encounter any bugs.

Note to Mods/JMs: The moderators area for this is not yet set up, but it is coming.

Edit
Also, a new requirement has been added to the Reviewer II badge. Namely, you must have at least one nomination from a mod, or have two nominations from either a JM or someone who already has the Reviewer II badge.

One word: AWESOME.

Edit: When we receive a nomination for a badge, will we be notified?

Okay, at first, I was flipping out because my number of nominations was completely wrong, but now I feel better. xD Hopefully people will remember to re-nominate me. *is greedy*

Overall, though, this is so much better! I think you'll be seeing a lot more traffic in that area than before. Can't wait to start nominating!

So JMs will have access to this too? Awesome!

*flails at the awesomeness*

It's so much easier to use than the forums set up (and more obviously placed). I also really like how you can see how many times you've been nominated. :D

So yes. Awesomeness! :D

D:

I had nominations! Now they are gone.

This makes me a sad panda.

There there, Sad Panda.
I'll nominate you.

Yay! This makes me happy.

Thanks all.

Also, updated the original post with a new requirement regarding the Reviewer II badge.

I like this new requirement.

I, also, like this new requirement.

*Goes on a renomination spree to get my votes back in the system* (Everybody has to do that, btw)

EDIT- Would it be humanly possible to make it so you couldn't nominate somebody for the Reviewer 2 badge if they didn't already have the Reviewer 1 badge? I just put a nomination in the wrong forum.

Question: I just got five nominations for the badge, but none of them were reviewer II, JMs, or mods. If they back it up before they approve me, can I still get the badge? Or will it be null and I will have to be re-nominated?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess just nothing happens until a moderator, two JMs or receivers of the Reviewer II badge nominate you?

Pretty sure Amy's right. You won't get the badge until you get one vote from a mod or two from a JM/somebody with a Reviewer 2 badge. So your votes count, and as soon as you have the votes missing you'll get it.

Okay, thanks. That helps.
