Delaying Episode III by one day to make these changes is better than another month of mediocre items and topics full of complaints, IMV.

There are actually many things which would only take ET a day to do which would improve things on the site. And if he did them all, Ep 3 would be delayed even more.

Itembuildr will no doubt get fixed after Ep3 goes to test. And the way it is now, more people get a chance to get the special peen because when entries are downvoted like they were today, so that none are left, a random entry will be picked and the person who submitted it will get a peen they would be unlikely to get otherwise (statistically speaking). So who says it’s all bad?

For the record, though, I would like to see downvoting removed, and INCIT rules applied to Itembuildr submissions, with mods having the power to remove irrelevant entries. I’ve even suggested such to the Task Force.
