Resource's Review Notification

[Zombie]

Moderation notification

Let's see an example: Moderation can be slow, especially when we're talking about the maps section (hopefully, the new mods will bring us change). If someone uploads a map and it's pending for... let's say 1-2 months, he will not check if it's moderated every day and might not be able to correct the possible mistakes and flaws before he has a chance to save it from rejection.

Therefore, THE_END's way of moderation led me to suggest something: All users should recieve notifications or PMs if their resource is moderated, to make them aware of their resources' status and be able to correct the mistakes and bugs more effectively.

well that is a good idea and it will improve the quality of the maps but there is a problem also because some users only join to post there maps and then never show up again or they never update and move to create other low quality maps.

The moderators do have the possiblity to send a PM to the creator when they moderate it.

Most of them don't. It should be enforced to do so, or an automatic notification system should be built in to save the mods' time.

It's really not necessary in my opinion. The User submitted his/her resource here hoping it would be reviewed and accepted, they should take upon themselves the responsibility of checking on their map/resource, to make sure that there are any notices. Don't pile more crap on the moderators, don't make them send a PM everytime they moderate something, it would just make it slower.

We really need to stop this complaining about the resource sections. The Hive community and Staff have been trying to come up with a way to moderate resources effectively for the last 2 years or so, and we haven't really come up with anything that would make that big of a difference. I think we should just take into consideration the size of the Hive. Moderating resources on a site as big as The Hive is destined to be slow, and the only way to speed it up would be to stop the growth of The Hive, which isn't a viable option. So just realise that moderating resources is going to be slow, there are other people who want their resources moderated as well, so just be patient, chances are, the mods will get to it eventually.

Hmm, it seems like it isn't checked by default any more.

 

[bounty hunter2]

That's what I've told you zombie, a mod can select the option if he wants to.

 

[Zombie]

I've never been a mod, so I couldn't know.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Personally I would like to be informed when my own resource gets approved/rejected/reviewed by a moderator.
You could add a little notification to the user CP when one of the mods approve/reject/review one of your resources so it's easier to know when something is happening to your resource.
It's a minor thing, but I think many would appreciate it.

Anyone else with me on this one?

 

[skrab]

I always get a PM when my resource is approved

 

[Linaze]

The moderators have an option to automatically PM a user when they review a resource, all of them don't use this, obviously.

I always get a PM.

 

[HappyTauren]

I only get from certain people, those being kimberly, general frank, pyritie, and blinkboy, not sure about the others.

 

[FrIkY]

I remember always getting it from DvO, THE_END, Hawkwing and General Frank. Although, I think that Paladon doesn't give PMs upon approval/reject/review, but it's not that big deal.

Whenever I reject or review a model I send a PM along with it. When I approve a model I don't.

It depends on the individual moderator. P:

 

[Hawkwing]

I give users a private message when I feel they need it. For example, if I'm requesting that they make a change within a certain amount of time I'll send them a private message. If I reject a resource I will give them a private message. If I approve it I'll let the user figure it out for them self.

 

[BlinkBoy]

I always send my EVIL notes to victims while rejecting moderating their shit work. xD.

Yet, there are moderators who doesn't tell if the resource is rejected until update. I never fully reject a resource unless it be porn (if it's good porn I make like I am not online xD) or other material against site rules.

I don't like your tone. What are you implying?

To clear out things, I think X.e.r.e.X should tell us exactly what resource he's referring to. A map? A skin?

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Icons

 

[Rui]

Icon resource moderators list:

• Dan van Ohllus
• General Frank
• Paladon

I presume it's one of these three moderators.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

*Points at Paladon*

 

[Hawkwing]

I don't like your tone. What are you implying?

He's just telling the truth. Most moderators don't do that.

I moderate icons on the rare occasion. :<

 

[Pyritie]

You still have those permissions? :0

 

[bounty hunter2]

So you aren't a moderator and you moderate. Huh.

 

[Hawkwing]

So you aren't a moderator and you moderate. Huh.

*facepalm*

Shouldn't have said this. I guess I railroaded the topic.

Anyways, back on topic now. Moderators shouldn't be required to send private messages, it should simply be recommended in most cases.
