> Every resource section needs more than one moderator.
I would probably agree with this.
I'm really thinking that we need to shift resource moderation, starting with maps, to not having to manually moderate every single map. I've come up with a few ideas. I think we might try to setup a system where if a user has greater than X rep and/or greater than Y number of posts, the map is automatically approved. From there, we move to a find-and-report system where the users report any issues they discover to the moderators.
For people that have less than the required number of rep/posts, their map gets placed in a temporary queue and then told to contact a map moderator directly. This would be stated very clearly and in several places: "If you do not contact a map moderator, your map will be automatically rejected after X hours."
I think the number of hours might be 48. They would have this much time to let a map mod know, and then that map mod would have to mark that map so that it does not get deleted after the set time. The map would not have to necessarily be reviewed or approved at that time, but it would be the responsibility of the map moderator to take care of that map once they mark it. If they do not mark it, they should reply back to the person telling them to contact someone else, or the mod can ask another mod.
Anyway. Kind of getting away from myself here. That's a possibility.
In any case, I have to agree that there are way too many maps to try moderating them manually. That's just silly. We need a new system, but no one seems to want to go to a blank-check approval system. Unfortunately, I don't think we have a choice.
So, there are my thoughts on this.
