Journal posts delay: a possible answer?

Trollheart · 09-28-2013, 09:41 AM

I know I bust people's balls here about the length of time it takes to approve journal posts, but it really hasn't got any better. I also know I've been submitting more entries at once and so that makes the work that much harder, but as I mentioned, my policy of submitting, waiting for approval then submitting does not seem to be working as even one post is taking up to three days to be posted. As a result my journal now has, today, three posts saying, in order, "five/four/three days to Metal Month", which looks silly.

Annnyhooo...

My possible solution. Is it at all doable to make certain people "semi-mods", or even mods, simply and solely for the purpose of allowing us to approve our own journal posts? I know this was brought up in another form in another thread, discussed very briefly and dropped, the contention being that it would have to go through the admins, who never allow any changes. But if certain people were allowed the "powers" or "power" of mods, to only approve their own journal requests, would this not alleviate the workload and also stop annoying bastards like me hassling yiz all the time?

Is this possible? Acceptable? Off the wall? Out of my tree? Any comments?

My post count is only going to get more regular from next week as I plough into "Metal Month" and I really don't want to break the flow, so if it's possible to set this up by then it would be great. Other than that, it's back to asking whoever has taken on this responsibility to please try to ensure journal posts are approved in a timely manner, say 24 hours after being submitted.

See, you can say "why don't you do this and see how hard it is?" but I'm actually saying I will, or would, if given the powers. I don't want to be a mod --- and I know a lot of people would prefer I wasn't one --- but if I, and others who need the authority, could do this, would it not be worth looking at?

Thanks for listening; hope to hear some replies back.
And now, I go back to whatever it is I do!
