Hi all.Some porters prefer to close their commissions when hitting a certain capacity of clients, then reopening when the list has become smaller. I choose not to do this, as people will be waiting the same amount of time regardless if my commissions are open or closed (either you will be waiting for your turn on a long list, or waiting for me to reopen my commission list - either way, you will be waiting). However, I have begun to receive complaints that my commission wait time is too long. Currently due to the overwhelming number of commissions, the wait is around 2 months if you were to be added to my list today. So I would like to give you all the opportunity to change how I take commissions to fit your comfort.Please note if closing my commissions becomes the winning vote, commissions will continue to operate on a 'first come first served' basis - This means that if my commissions re-open, and then becomes full again and has to close before you managed to get your slot, you will have to wait for them to reopen. However, if I continue to keep commissions open, you will always have your slot ensured as you will be added to my list as soon as a commission is agreed upon, much like it is now.- would you prefer it if I kept my commissions open always as I do now, but you accept that there is a wait listor- close my commission list and re open when the wait is shorter

Experience with other porters hasn't made me a fan of the 'slot-based system', since you can be waiting for months for the porter to make new slots available, diligently checking regularly if he has reopened, only for all of the open slots to be filled in the few hours you happen to be offline. Another option to reduce the general waiting time is to limit the number of conversions a person can commission at a given time.

I agree with you on the slot based system. Every porter is entitled to commission as they please, and I know it can be more stress free for a porter to run on a slot based system, but I've always preferred it without. Thank you for your feedback!

I hate the slot based system. I'm in the UK. I am rarely around and able to snipe one of a small number of slots. You can always reconsider if your list gets too long. Or simply stop taking requests until you get down to a more manageable number (for you) and re-open.

Not to worry, I'm happy having my commissions open always so people can always take a slot! However due to complaints regarding wait time, I chose to ask my Patrons what they'd prefer! Thank you for your feedback!

This is such a lovely comment - Thank you. Your support means the world!

As someone who doesn't always get a chance to check in, I love the idea that the commissions are open. Having to wait for absolute quality is not a problem. It's sad to think that there are people out there upset because of impatience!

I could not have said it better myself. Excellent comment and so, so true! I'm so happy to have found such an excellent porter and IMHO it's a privilege to be on that list...not to mention also being a patron you get access to such amazing content.
