Hi Abdur-Rahmaan, I'm not sure if I completely understand your question.

I guess it seems like nothing is happening, because currently we don't have enough moderators. The few we have (apparently) don't have enough time to visit as a daily, or almost daily routine. (And one recently resigned.)

I can handle the flagging, most of the time. And I can also handle the messaging, when it's necessary. But since we need at least 2 moderators to decide the fate of a reported item (by voting) they stay on the moderation page until a 2nd moderator comes along.

Or sometimes the reason they stay there is because not all moderators are comfortable with all the duties, so they only vote on certain items. And that's fine - I'm happy with all the help we can get! But we really do need at least one more moderator who can visit almost every day. And hopefully someone who is ok with all the duties.

If I misunderstood your question, please clarify, and I'll try again :-)

All best, brynn

No, I have not messaged them. Do members get an automated message when their resource is hidden?

I'm not sure it would be reasonable to send members a custom or non-automated message about inappropriate uploaded links. It's not something we currently do.

My only concern was that perhaps whoever built that web app may have used inkscape or part of Inkscape, to make it function. And I don't know how to find clues about that, if that was the case.

I didn't test it out, to find out if it produces vector images. If it does, perhaps it would be reasonable to allow one link? I'll give it a simple test.

I don't know if we have a bit in the CoC about re-posting entries that

are under moderation.

The short answer is 'no'. The longer answer (which I've purposely avoided mentioning in the past) is that I think the CoC is too vague for the purpose of moderation. It's fine as an umbrella for the community, but to me, there are too many details which are not touched on or explained. (my avoidance has been because the reply is probably going to be - 'why don't you write a better one?' - haha). (And certainly it's way too vague for the forum, which is why I intend to make sure a more appropriate one is created for the forum.)

Anyway, thanks for your comments. I will go ahead and hide the new upload (unless it turns out that it's making vector images).

(It might be that I happened to have removed it so quickly after it was uploaded, that the member may have thought they overlooked it, or something went wrong, and was uploading it for the first time, when it was the 2nd.)

All best, brynn

Personally,

If you've messaged the poster about the original link, then you can go ahead and delete this re-posting. It's not really related to Inkscape as far as I can see and so long as the user is aware that if they keep posting these images without an explanation, or description, or preview image or anything that would make the resource useful or appropriate. Then their user account is going t get moderated.

I don't know if we have a bit in the CoC about re-posting entries that are under moderation.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
