Giant Bomb Image Moderation: The Home Game!

We're letting our users get in on some of the content approval fun. Find out how!

As Giant Bomb grows, we'll be adding a number of fun new ways for you to interact with the site. Today we're happy to unveil the new Image Crowd Moderation tool.

It's basically Hot or Not for video games--you'll be "voting" for whether an image attachment submission should happen, and once a submission accrues enough positive or negative votes, it'll either be approved or denied. So how does this work for you? It's simple!

If you see an image attachment submission that you think looks correct (or "hot") you approve it!

If you see an image attachment submission that doesn't jive (that would be "not," folks) you deny it!

There are some basic guidelines on the tool to help you determine whether an image should be approved or not, but if you're unsure either way, just skip to the next image. Staff and moderators will be monitoring this tool with a keen eye, and we'll also continue approving and denying submissions through the primary queue. In addition to the link included in this post, you'll be able to find the tool under the Help section in the top nav. Keep in mind that this is a brand-spankin'-new feature, and we'll be open to suggestions on how to improve it.

The more people that use it, the more effective the Image Crowd Moderation tool will be, so go on over and give it a try!
