Getting your opinion on the requests site

Hey guys,

We’ve come to realise that the current way in which requests are being handled for Secret Tier members on bksaudio.com (where you submit your own request and can vote on others to become stories) is not quite working. 

Currently we are trying to fulfil as many of the top voted requests as we can but it is a struggle due to the sheer volume of requests. You may have seen some of the requests eventually released on Patreon but it takes a long time. 

When we were a smaller community this system worked okay and enabled us to really fulfil story ideas in an interesting way.

But as explained above currently it is grinding to a bit of a halt as we have grown a lot and have huge numbers of scripts going through our audio creation process and it can take months, years even before some of these great ideas get produced as thousands of people on the Secret Tier submit their ideas. 

So I wanted to get your feedback and opinions on how we could structure this in a way that makes more sense/is most democratic for everyone on the Secret Tier going forward (also given our release schedule on Patreon). 

Some of the main ideas we had (to keep fulfilling these) were as below:

Keep the site as it is but add more filters for finding and voting on things more easily. 

Only show the top 20 voted ideas on the first page. 

Going through every quarter (or regular time interval) and removing ideas under 100 votes or a certain threshold.

Limiting the number of votes to 10 votes per month.

Please leave a comment below if you have other ideas about how we could develop the requests site in a way that is fairer for everyone on the Secret Tier. But please be civil too, if someone has an opinion you disagree with that’s okay, just agree to disagree, no personal insults or nastiness. 

X
