Perhaps we should wait 6 months before publishing? Yes.
If the original point was "it's a great thing that submissions don't stay in the queue for months, but we shouldn't go to the other extreme either", why are you suggesting the original extreme as the "alternative"? Nobody has suggested that the submissions should be delayed for months, so why are you writing as if that was the implication? What is it with extremes? When someone suggests not going to an extreme, the standard counter-argument seems to be to ask if what you want is to go to the opposite extreme. That doesn't make sense (especially when getting rid of that opposite extreme was a point raised to begin with). I honestly can't understand why you are acting like judges waiting a few days for people to comment on a submission would be such an unreasonable suggestion. What exactly is the problem here?

Did you completely not notice it was in response to what moozooh said? Take things in context.

I don't have a problem with that. What I have a problem with is when a judge didn't wait a few days, people complain. Judging, encoding, and publishing is a lot of effort. How would you feel if someone insulted your hard work because you did it promptly?

Although I've given up on this discussion, "timely" != "promptly".

Anyone else find it funny that this two page argument about not judging movies too soon is occuring in a thread originally started to promote judging of movies that had stayed in queue for a year?

What can we say, TASVideos is like politics. You are either Liberal or Conservative, Liberal publishing after two days, Conservative taking one or two months.

We're also a bunch of pedantic geeks, which means we can never rest as long as there's someone wrong on the Internet!

and in our case that is combined with the need for perfection. Very dangerous.
