Through a combination of hard work and the power of technology, we've reduced the queue to around 7,500 submissions.  The turnaround time is just about 36 hours at this point.  We expect to meet our goal of a 24 hour turnaround time by the end of the week!

Edit:  To clear up a little confusion, this number does not include image submissions, those are in a separate queue.  Again, thanks to the awesome power of technology, the image crowd moderation tool has reduced the number of images waiting to be approved from over 20,000 down to almost  zero.  Go forth and submit more images!

The Image Moderation Tool:  Here's what we see. 

Yeah, we have been wheeling and dealing these submissions like nobody's business.  The script that erased duplicate submissions helped the most, though.  ;)

That's great! I think the image mod tool has really helped. I know I was going through it until 2am and that crap is exhausting.

Actually images aren't included in that 7,340 number.  A couple of nights ago, there were 25,000 images in the que...now it's virtually empty.  I guess posting that the mod points were now active got a lot of people motivated to start using the image crowd moderation tool =)

We so rock :P

Well i just got  "No more images to moderate! I kid you not!" ,it is great to see this tool worked will.

I could not sleep last night and uploaded some images at 2am pacific coast time, when I woke up they were already approved. Congrats and thanks for all your hard work.

Dayum...so that's how it works.

That's really baller.

Two thumbs up :)

geeeeeeeeez.  i'm glad i'm not doing that
