Kevin, while I understand why the moderation takes place, and can imagine
how frustrating it is to you, let me reiterate points that John Barnes and
Lar (among others?) raised. I would imagine a great amount of workload
would be taken off your shoulders if you established "trusted users."
People from the community that, quite simply, can be trusted.
I would imagine this wouldn't be a huge amount of the members (especially
because of all the BionicleZone users, but that's another can of worms), but
it may be significant. Obviously, I would hope that I would be one of these
trusted users. I guess the best way would be for you (and the moderators?)
to decide amongst yourselves who these individuals would be, and allow them
non-moderated uploads. Or allow that someone become trusted after a certain
time period in which no problems had occured, etc.
Of course, I have no idea of what kind or how much coding a step like this
would take.
On behalf of most of Lugnet, (I'm assuming here, don't shoot me) I sincerely
hope that this is taken into consideration.
