Now, I *may* be mistaken and this (approved) Kata may have just jumped to the top of the search results due to a recently approved translation but I seriously doubt this is the case, my reason being I recently noticed that some of my low-Kyu (i.e. `8-5 kyu`) older Kata are already \"Awaiting Moderator Approval\" even if they have not reached the requirements that you mentioned a few months ago (e.g. White Kata requiring `>90%` satisfaction rate with at least 12 votes and rank assessments etc.).\r\n\r\n*If* I am not mistaken and this Kata being approved with unresolved Issues is due to an \"Improved\" Beta Process aiming to get more Kata out of Beta in a short period of time, then I would like to kindly *suggest* that you **reconsider the Beta Process**.  Previously, Beta Kata that may have had a \"high satisfaction rate\" due to large numbers of inexperienced Codewars users (without the best interests for Codewars Kata quality at heart) upvoting the Kata without thinking twice about code coverage, naming conventions etc., could still be prevented from leaving Beta by a more experienced Codewars user with **the best interests of Codewars at heart** raising genuine, serious Issues on the Kata, which ensured that at least 90% of Kata leaving Beta were of a high quality.  However, if unresolved Issues on a Beta Kata can no longer withhold faulty, problematic Beta Kata from being approved, then the \"Issue\" tag pretty much becomes useless and the proportion of poor-quality approved Kata on Codewars will skyrocket which may deter serious programmers from using the Website.\r\n\r\nBack to that particular Kata I was mentioning about, hopefully you will agree with me after looking at the PHP test cases for that Kata that **5-6 fixed assertions in the entire test suite** is *hardly* \"full code coverage\" and thus **goes against the [Kata Best Practices](https://www.codewars.com/topics/kata-best-practices#code-coverage)** in the official Forum which justifies the Issue I raised regarding the lack of random tests as an **official Codewars stance**.  Therefore, I would like to *propose* that you make an exception to this (recently approved) Kata and **bring it back into Beta** as it is still clearly lacking in quality.\r\n\r\nI sincerely hope that such an event will not occur again as we experienced, dedicated users strive to maintain the overall quality of content on Codewars.\r\n\r\nYours sincerely,\r\nDonaldKellett (donaldsebleung on Codewars)"}}
