Rebekah Harmon wrote:Hey, Paul! I turn in a lot of badges, and because of that high volume, I do get my share of edge cases and rejections. (I know it's me sometimes!) I almost never have the "close enough," attitude. It's usually something I forgot, (simple mistake) or that I didn't interpret a requirement the same way my certifier does.
I appreciate the time and kindness of the volunteers helping with BBs. Because of this post, I will focus on NEVER having the "close enough" attitude.
At the same time, please accept my gentle feedback that I'm not trying to waste anybody's time. Some of the bbs have ambiguous wording, and in an attitude of working together, I would be happy to volunteer time to help address this issue on the bbs I have had trouble with, if that's helpful.
If you go to submit and realize that you forgot to take a picture at the beginning, please do it over. Please DO NOT submit and hope it gets through. Please be respectful to the people donating their time to make this work.

I'm pursuing SKIP to inherit property, check it out for yourself: SKIP book or maybe you're my Otis/Otessa match?
I created a thread dedicated to my countdown to PEP2, please come visit and ask a question!
I love that Rocket Mass Heaters are Carbon-Nuetral. In Erica's and Ernies Art of Fire Presentation, Erica explains the chemistry of how that's possible!
I attended Helen's Garden Master Course in January 2022 and give the lectures 10/10 acorns! Fortunately for you, you can also see the Garden Master recordings but unfortunately you'll miss out on the fruit Helen grew and shared. It was the tastiest fruit I've ever had!

Nails are sold by the pound, that makes sense.

If you literally had to "Start HERE" with these as your first two BBs, it might save some headaches later on...

The threads exist but are maybee not always easy to find.
How to get a badge was on the page all about SKip
And there is a thread about How permie work, there are the links about posting videos and pictures.

Thanks Raphaël! I missed the link...in my quick skimming... which in part speaks to the "following instructions", and "reading carefully" aspect... ha ha!
But I still think a "PEP tutorial BB" could be a good place to "Start HERE". (especially if it could be automated)
Then maybe after submitting those it redirects you to the "what the easiest BBs were for people" thread.

I'd say two things about this...
1. The requirements do change occasionally so older/legacy submissions may not show something that is required now
2. Just because someone approved one incorrectly before, doesn't mean it's a precedent.
3. If someone really messed up and approved something that shouldn't've been, we have been known to unapprove them. Generally pretty quickly, once some time has passed, it is less likely.
