As Giant Bomb is my debut to wiki style contributing in general, it's almost experimental for me to hit that "submit" button and prey it gets approved. So far I've managed to scrape together 10 points through various concept and image submissions. For me, the problems arise when the delay for approvals is so long, I'll spend quite some time adding in to areas that haven't yet been filled, only to find days later that these holes had already been filled, but not yet approved and as such, alot of time is spent "doubling up" on submissions.

This by no means is a complaint, just a result of a massive peak of submissions that occurred in the first week of Giant Bomb. My understanding is that the ModSquad and GBStaff are catching up on the backlog and their SLA of 24 hours will become the norm once again, but it's with disappointment that this morning I had found that the majority of my submissions had been rejected or will be rejected based on the fact that they had already been in the submissions queue at some point before mine. Which by all means is fair, I wouldn't want the system any other way, it's just a little piece of feedback I'd like to post here. Understandably the GB Staff would already be experiencing similar feedback from many other members, but I'd just like to say my 2c :)

Besides that, wow. The GB experience so far has been amazing, the Moderation team have been nothing but helpful and responsive, the forums have been friendly and the information snowball is uh, snowballing. So yeah, thanks to the GB team so far, you're doing a wonderful job and just keep working at it... I'll just have to start diversifying and filling in my own little niches in the GB archives... :D

It's even worse: someone who has over a 1000 points can live-edit pages. So lets say you've submitted an edit to the Mortal Kombat page and it is sitting there in the queue. I come in and see that something must be edited to that page so I do it. Now my edit is automatically approved and yours will be rejected once the moderators reach your submission in the queue. That's kind of messed up, right? Anyway, don't give up! Keep submitting your stuff.

I guess so - maybe the answer would be to allow users over 1000 points to see if there are already submissions waiting in queue? This way there wouldn't be any reason why stuff like this would happen...

The system works the way it is, it's just disappointing as in reality, it's going to be harder and harder to get to 1000 points.
