my only issue with the waitlist is that it's labour intensive, in that I would have to PM a lot of people individually and keep track of two deadlines. edit: to me it is the most anxiety-inducing option but it also does seem like the most reasonable for others. I'll try it for the next round. And in defense of the raffle system, (minus the slot-buying, which I'm not sure on but I mean if people are willing to, it's an option) it is technically the same as what I have now, except instead of leaving it up to who comes first (which is arbitrary but skewed), it's left up to chance (completely arbitrary), which is fairer in my opinion.
Oh I see, yeah, if I switched to raffle system then the slots would be back to usual (one per comm rather than price based). But that explains what you meant.
I considered a cool down system too, more along the lines of, if you bought something in the past week you can't buy in the next round or something. But either way a cool down would be a problem with the couple of people with "permaslots" 🤔 I feel like working with permaslots is part of the issue as well and I may have to think of a way to deal with that in the long term.
Thanks! It seems like waitlist is the most popular on both polls, but since a lot of people seem to be interested in a raffle system, I might maybe hold those every now and then after ironing everything out.
