Since our club's creation, the challenges we offer have grown in number by dozens, our members by hundreds, and as a result the turn-ins by thousands. It's obviously no longer practical to keep a record of everything by hand, and so eventually we automated it. On the Hall of Fame website, you can find which challenges each user has turned in and when, their status, and how many points they've been awarded.
The website also provides some additional features :
- An index for all the challenges offered by the club ;
- Statistics about each user's anime list ;
- Checklists for most challenges that allow users to gauge their progress ;
- Info about each anime (and the challenges they qualify for).
New features get added regularly, so this thread was created to help you keep track of it. (Updates are also regularly announced on our Discord.)
How often are the turnins added to the Hall of Fame ?
The turnin thread is scanned
once a day, around 00:00-01:00 AM UTC.
The front page indicates which turnin was imported last ; if yours was posted before and is somehow still missing, then there was probably a problem importing it. I regularly check the error logs, either to fix bugs, or to report badly-formatted turn-ins to the
Invalid Entries thread. In any case, you can use this thread to ask about it.
How often are turnins validated ?
The validation process is quite complex ; each turn in must be checked twice by Inspectors (as reported in the
Invalid Entries thread), and then a HoF admin must transcribe those evaluations into the website manually. Depending on how fast the Inspectors progress through their backlog, this can unfortunately take months. Please be patient.
How do turnins for the Official MAL Anime Watching Challenges work ? And the High/Low-Score Challenges ?
Those challenges are special : they have their own turn-in process. If you follow it successfully, then it'll eventually show up on the Hall of Fame (as manually updated by the HoF admins), usually a few weeks later.
Some challenges don't give any points !
For a few challenges, the points they should award haven't been calculated yet. It'll happen eventually, and of course your points will be updated accordingly.
How are checklists for challenges updated ?
It's a semi-manual process. In some cases (genres, studios, creators...), there are tools in place to help automate it. In other cases, we're relying on people notifying us about it (e.g. in
the Suggestions & Discussions thread, on Discord or here).
This anime is marked as "Not Available in English", but it's totally available !
Thank you for the information ! We'll fix it as soon as possible after confirming it.
How often are user anime lists updated ?
By default, if you have turned some challenges in, the next nightly import will also fetch your anime list from MAL. You can also add yourself (once a day) onto the queue ; it runs about once an hour.
I have other questions !
Please, ask away ! This is the thread for it.
