...to get a picture moderated around here?


...kind of takes the spontaneity out of a discussion when the visual gag takes so many hours to follow the original post.

    25 hours and counting....

    32 from the first photo on friday afternoon.

    Any chance of a review of how photos are approved and indeed whether they even need to be?

    Maybe after a qualifying period of posts people should be allowed to add photos and then dealt with appropriately if anything inappropriate is used, just as they are for written posts?

    There are filters available to check if a pic is of a known offensive variety.

    I believe forum mods can (or at least 'could') approve their own photos instantly. 

    I'm not sure why they aren't allowed to mod all the pictures, it must be a 'technical' reason.

    Hopefully it's worth the wait. 

    Just incase it isn't, heres a thread saver.

    Ah well these things are rarely worth the wait - even if I manage to bump the threads when the pic eventually materialises, the moment has passed.

    I am looking forward to your thread saver though, I'll check back in June shall I?

    Not quite... posts (containing photos) by moderators bypass the photo approval process completely, so they don't have to approve them.
    The forum moderators don't have access to the photo approval function, as it's part of the back-end admin panel of this Pluck forum software that only the site administrators can use (people like Sky Rich/Blandie in the past).

    ^^^

    What Nosey said.

    I agree with Phantom though, it's not good enough, & it needs to be better.

    I'm not sure I can assist, but I will ask the question.

    ***BUMP***

    Fearing the anti-climax when the pics start appearing (here + lets bring the fun back thread + famous poker player thread)

    ...but continuing with the point that to keep up with other social media sources it would be good to have speedier means of pic approval e.g. auto-filtering of inappropriate content and instant ban for people who get round the filters.

    Hi Phantom,

    I've not forgotten this, & I agree, it's not very satisfactory at all.

    I don't have any authority or clout in these (or any other!) matters, but I will bring it to their attention.

    To be fair, its a big deal on a forum. Nothing better than a perfectly timed picture for maximum amusement.
    Whilst the sky forum is obviously great, I think it would be a massive improvement to be able to post pictures instantly.
