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?
Anyone else stop adding content because your pending is long?
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 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.
once things slow down a bit and alot of the obvious stuff is down ill probably get back on it.

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

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.
I have stopped, for now. When most of my stuff is approved then I will starting adding more games and articles to the games I added. I also will edit other articles etc. FOr now I have decided to stop.
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...
im at 121 points and i got a good load of edits and images with some 3-4 days old. so i stoppped submitting all togehter
"Images are fine now, with the new community moderation system.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.

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.

However the rate they are getting moderated is faster they are comming in right now so it should eventually be near instant."Images are fine now, with the new community moderation system.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.
