This is Yuletide, everybody make a scene

[coalcube]

I am the sock with the tear-away face

Low-effort with your gift and gone without a trace

I am the "who" when you call, "Who does an exchange without acknowledging their gift?"
I am the wanker blowing through your fics comments
I am the coalie dragging your letter at night
Filling your exchange to the brim with fright!

This is Coaltide!

Re: Mini-Challenges

Official yuletide policy is to wrangle and canonise all new public works as soon as wranglers have time

Unrevealed works are not supposed to be canonised until reveals

Hh has told wranglers to not canonise new public fandoms while yuletide is in progress as they think yuletide posters are trying to cheat the don't wrangle unrevealed works rule

This penalises non yuletide participants who post new canons during this period, as hh is deliberately preventing their fandoms from being canonised based on their belief that it is yuletide related

That is abusing their head mod position in favour of yuletide.

The older wrangling and skins issues were brought up because there's a history of diverting AO3 resources to help out yuletide, an issue that has always been contentious as people don't understand why a single unofficial challenge should get prioritised over issues that affect the whole archive. Many people hoped that would change when astoat handed over the general runnjng as there would no longer be a conflict of interest,, but hh seems to be perpetuating that policy. Non yuletide users shouldn't have to wait til yuletide is over to get their fandk s canonised, yuletide should not be a factor in any of hh's decisions as head wrangler, as their wrangling decisions should be based on what's best for them whole archive and all users, not made based on the small subset of users doing the challenge she mods

Thank you, that is clearer to me - I think I get what you mean now.

Hh has told wranglers to not canonise new public fandoms while yuletide is in progress as they think yuletide posters are trying to cheat the don't wrangle unrevealed works rule

So this is the crux of the issue, right?

If Yuletide is obstructing normal wrangling policy, it would be good to know what the reasoning is.
