It may be true that there are a lot more reliable proofers out there than some people seem to think, but if a submitter doesn't hold a book for someone they know is reliable, then how do they ensure that they don't get a Jiffy proofer?
I've asked you this question before when you've objected to the Hold for; you've never answered it. I ask it once again.

I take offense at this notion that only certain select people are "reliable" proofers. I never get "hold fors", which is fine by me. It doesn't mean I'm just some careless jiffy-proofer. I understand submitters don't want the careless proofers, but I think there are a lot more reliable folks out there than some people seem to think. It just smells to me like in-crowd foolishness. TracyPeople can only have five books in their queue at any given time. So, if someone didn't have room, the book might conceivably sit for longer than two weeks. Right now, that isn't a problem. The people I work with take books of mine in a timely fashion. However, once the new policy is implemented, books might be taken by unreliable proofers. If this is the case, I will be reluctant to submit as often as I currently do.Yes. You have proofread for me, and I'm very grateful for the work you do.Are you a fan of women's music?

I really understand what you're saying about having a good relationship with a proofreader and how important that is. I've proofread your books--at least two or three of them, and I think we've worked well together. However, I'm not understanding comments on this thread that express a concern about the "holds" being for two weeks effecting the number of books you or others would be able to submit. The change in the "holds" just means you'd have two weeks to download the book from the time it was placed on thecheck out list. It doesn't mean that you couldn't renew it--I renew a bookall the time. Could you please clarify how this would be a negative? Blessings.
