I've added quite a few articles, blurbs, images and extras to the site, but since moderation takes so long it's just sitting in my pending area. I don't know about the rest of you, but this makes me not want to do anymore until all that stuff gets approved. Has anyone else stopped adding content for that reason also?

Yeah, I've only submitted a few articles and blurbs for this very reason. My oldest submission is 3 days and 20 hours old.

They were obviously caught off guard with so many people wanting to submit content. They should get more staff in so that the process is faster.

it's a shame.  Since it's so new everyone should get instant editing approval - and then you get it revoked if you don't follow the guidelines/spam. I would definately assume on the back-end of the site that all revisions have a history on them so they could revert to a previous version if things got messed up. This would certainly help get the site up to having a lot of content right away and would lessen the pending subs to just minor content, since most of the big stuff had been updated. Maybe they give us 1 day trial?

I know the mods are doing all they can but I think it would be better if we stop adding stuff until they catch up.

I slowed on it, yeh the frustrating thing was realising many of the same things had already been submitted before me.  Started adding more pics because they take no time to be approved.

They have promoted some top submitters to Mods to deal with this, and probably will add more.

I've stopped submitting as much because since the backlog is so big, I don't know what other people have submitted. I don't want to write a massive description for a game, then 3 days later find out somebody else wrote one a day before me. It's not a complaint, I just realise that that is the reality and I don't want to waste any effort as a result.

Yes, I want to see if anything gets denied.  Might as well wait instead of adding for nothing.

Yeah. It doesn't even do anything except give you points. Which means nothing to me. And usually when I'm submitting I don't feel like I'm helping because my subs look very unprofessional. Its hard to explain...

Now, I don't have a problem.

Right now I don't see the point. If it takes 4 days for something to get checked my the mods, there's a big chance someone else gets the approval because they check the submissions totally random it seems.

I have stopped submitting images. I'm just waiting until most of the ones that are pending now get accepted so I will submit more images.

I've pretty much stopped as well until they accept the mass of screenshots I have pending, which will take me over 1000 points, then I won't need to worry about waiting.

not really, I have quite a few images 1-2 days old and they still haven't been rejected or accepted, it seems like any thing that was submitted and hour or so before the crowd moderation was opened isn't included in it.

I'm starting to think a load of images have been lost in some sort of black hole as I have some still pending from 4-5 days ago.

Well, my first edit is now in the queue since more than 4 days, so I've more or less stopped for now and am waiting if it will ever get through ;-)

Yeah I had a game that wasn't in the DB that I submitted, that sat pending for more than three days.  In the meantime they added the game so my sub got rejected.  Makes me not want to put too much work into anything as for all I know someone might have already submitted something (or will submit it after me) and my sub will just get rejected.

I wonder if in future they will add a system to edit or delete submissions. I have many that were relevant a few days ago but are redundant now. Quite frustrating.

Yep, I'm on 4 days and a couple of hours...Somebody probably already submitted a much better article than mine so it's pointless now. The only things I submit right now are pictures.

Your images are in the queue. but it will take a while as there are over 35000 to go through. However the rate they are getting moderated is faster they are comming in right now so it should eventually be near instant.
