1. Lock the submissions
2. Accept/regect all of the current ones you recieved
3. Once finished , Give every user the ability to submit only 5 times a day for awhile so you can outsource to india or get moderation staff that know how to approve things other than images.
Heres a productive idea for giantbomb!
I'm willing to wait forever. Who cares really. Also it would slow the rapid growth of knowledge with 5 per day. Also as more people get 1000 points they won't be moderated.
I dissagree wholeheartedly.
The magic to this place is that I have no restrictions. I can be a beast without a limit.
Sure, it must be tiring for the staff, but I think having too much is better than too little or a controlled amount.
Be patient.

sorry
I can see ups and downs with that. Once people get 1000 than you will see submissions being accepted more often. ALso if they lock submissions for now it could relieve some stress on them. For now I think things should stay the way they are on here. Things are going well.
Sorry, that's not a really good idea all things considered. They'll always have submissions to go through at this rate, and that's a really positive thing in a way. The site will continue to evolve on the editorial side due to the hard work of the staff, and the game content will continue to evolve thanks to the ever-dedicated userbase. The sheer amount of potential here is unrivaled anywhere else on the net, so I think it's very important (as I'm sure the staff would agree) that the users not be limited with their contributions.
That's just how I see it, anyway.

It's still 1000 for live edits for existing pages.
"1. Lock the submissionsLocking the submissions only means when their unlocked people will flood the system again. It also removes a big part of what the site is, submitting content for the site.
2. Accept/regect all of the current ones you recieved
3. Once finished , Give every user the ability to submit only 5 times a day for awhile so you can outsource to india or get moderation staff that know how to approve things other than images.

Currently for every submission that goes through another 5 or more replace it, this will likely reduce as time goes by to a more managable level of input and output.
Limiting users to a set number of submissions per day again negates a big piece of what makes GiantBomb unique. Images are by far the easiest to approve or reject due to their simple nature of what makes them valid or not to be uploaded. Some people have created seriously long and lengthy submissions for exisiting articles while others have started entirely new ones. You can't just skim over them, you have to sit and read each one to make sure the information is correct and not plagorised from another source.
As i've told you before, be patient like everyone else, you're not the only one with a 3 day back log of pending submissions. Some of the Staff have been working literally day and night trying to get through it all, infact some wake up when its daylight and head to bed when its daylight thats just how long they work.
"1. Lock the submissionsNo. They want to build the site. They don't want to restrict users from helping to build a community.
2. Accept/regect all of the current ones you recieved

It just doesn't make sense.
