too many hidden images? (moderation)
Hi Friends, Does everyone see the hidden images placeholders in the gallery? Or is it only moderators who see them? If it's only moderators who see it, it's not as big of a problem as I thought.
But if everyone sees them, those who usually view the Last Updated page of the gallery have probably noticed, we have more hidden images than not, on the first page. This has 2 sources (aside from the spam itself) -- (1) not enough moderators, and (2) decided items are retained for a week. I can't remember the reason for this. But I can think of a couple of ways to improve the situation.
Could we consider not retaining decided items so long? Maybe only 2 or 3 days? Maybe not at all? Or maybe could we only retain those approved items, and let deleted items go? As far as I understand, once an item is deleted, it's gone from the database and can't be recovered. So I'm not sure why we hold them on the moderation page.
Would there be any problem posting a call for new moderators in forums? I think I will post another call for mods on the mailing list. But I'm not sure there would be any interested people from forums. I guess it can't hurt? Comments?
Thanks for any comments :-) brynn

As far as I know, decided items are deleted right away. They are only listed on the moderation page for a week after their deletion. The items that you see in the gallery (and that everyone sees, indeed) are only the non-decided ones.
I agree it looks ugly, and that the website is in need of more moderators.

Aah - I didn't realize those were all pending. I didn't actually count them. Oh wow, those *are* all pending!
Then we definitely need more moderators. I'll put out a request for volunteers on all the mailing lists.
Do you see any problem with asking for volunteers in forums? I doubt it will be fruitful, but maybe.
Thanks :-)
