Huh... rythm, as in "the average pace in which you (reviewer) review files".
I should have used "review" instead of "analysis", but the first does not
exist in my native language with the same meaning. Hence your answer, I
guess :-)

Ah. OK. The answer is it depends.

External factors: How fast does the page load? That's driven by the network
load. I have a cable modem connection to the internet and a 100 Mbps
internal network. During the day the network is loaded because my kids are
surfing and stuff, (that's noise though) and the cable modem connection is
slower since other people are placing a load. Best review time so far has
been about 2 AM when everything is fast

How many files are in the folder? Larger folders are slower.

Internal factors include:

Have I seen this folder before? If I remember seeing it (and I have a pretty
good memory and i hang out on Brickshelf a lot) I do not have to examine
each thumbnail closely, just look for pics I don't recognise.

Do I know the poster? If I know the poster well and trust them I don't have
to examine as closely either.

What is the subject matter? Some subject matter takes more careful review.
If there is text in a pic I have to look at the pic to see what it says. If
there are flesh tones I have to at least glance at the pic instead of just
scanning it.

If everything is going really fast on the network I have achieved folder
review rates in excess of 15 folders/minute when I am walking the folder
tree of someone I already know and really trust, and whose tree I really
know well already because I have seen it recently.

Average is more like 20 secs per folder though.

Careful... How do you know that the name at the top of the folder is the
person who uploaded each file?

Um, I'm assuming that I found the right person by looking their name up, and
I'm walking their tree. If the folders I see there when I start don't match
up with what I expect to see (because I know who they are and what they put
there before... when I say I hang out on BrickShelf I REALLY mean it... I am
in there all the time and have a pretty good memory of who has posted what
sorts of pics and even how their folders are laid out, in the "know it when
I see it" sense, not that I can recite folder layouts for random users...)
then I would get suspicious.

For example I walked Jeff Stembel's tree a little while ago... I've seen it
before. If I had not seen the wamalug layout pics and brickwars stuff I
expected to see I would have been suspicious that I hadn't really found Jeff.

For another example I was chatting with Troy C. in BL. I know it's him based
on what he was telling me about stuff that only he and I know related to the
Guild. He gave me the link to the top of his tree. I walked the tree,
clearing it fairly quickly. I'm pretty confident in that case that it really
was Troy's folder tree... (plus I found pics of me where I expected to find
them!) but if he's uploading pr0n, we're hosed because I let the whole tree
through quickly.

Remember I was talking about going and finding a person's folder tree and
walking it, not about random folders presented to me when I click on
moderate to start the process. THOSE are not to be trusted. Those are 90%
bionicle it seems, too. :-)

So far when walking I have not yet seen any folder trees that aren't what I
expected to find but I do know there are a couple of ringers out there
namewise. (where the same name is in there twice or whatever... I've avoided
those for now).

However if this methodology isn't a good one please let me know and I'll
stop clearing people's folders and go back to random folders, where I do NOT
trust the name I see...

gratuitous snip *

Since your doing some mammoth overhaul on Brickshelf right now, I was
wondering if you could implement a new browsing feature: by member number.
Is there some sort of privacy policy that would break if it was available? I
know I would be using that all the time, and have a half baked method of
doing so already. I edit the url path and tweak the numbers at the end which
sort of teleports me here or there through the gallery library. So just to
clarify, I'm NOT proposing teleportation ; some sort of method of browsing
the member list by their brickshelf number.

cheers, Joseph
