ODP editors are so slow

[jdaw1]

I sense early manoevres for the "Cutest couple" title in the next round of internal awards.

Eric-the-Bun: I laughed out loud. Marvellous. Thank you.

 

But I was rather hoping for best-thread. Then I'd have to re-apply just to update my profile. Cutest couple with oneeye just wouldn't cut the mustard.

 

Separately, editors of a delicate disposition should not examine this photograph of Mr and Mrs Wiseman. (Work-safe: not pornographic.)

That does it - I'm nominating this thread for the next mozzies. If that's all it took to get you back, I would have done it already

[jdaw1]

But I won't stay. Reason for resignation stands.

 

Yes, tidy some of those few categories that I might inherit from old permissions (mostly by click-throughing my own submissions ('suggestions')); update profile; post in the fora; toodle-pip. Useful, but not more.

 

This is tedious. Please reply to the first post in this thread.

From the first post:

What is needed is proper straight-through processing.

 

I agree.

 

Any suggestion that is not acted upon within one year should expire.

 

That solves a multitude of non-problems, such as the perception that there is a backlog, or not enough editors.

 

It may even have Darwin-like impacts on poeple who insist on submitting content-free sites, and will definitely perplex spammers who won't know if they expired and died or got discovered and killed.

Do we need to meta-tag a forum post as a 'suggestion', so that the suggestion-holding queue recognises it as such? Without such tagging, does it never expire? How can that incentivise accurate tagging?

Have you been taking lessons from hutcheson on posting style?

I like that. Reminds me of being a new recruit to the Word.

Appalled of New York

 

Am I allowed to mention that I made another submission ('suggestion', etc) over 5 minutes ago, and that nothing has yet happened?

 

Yours, of course appalled, of New York.

Did you make sure to bribe the editor?

[dogbows]

I have been down for over a month. I can't believe this thread is still alive.

 

Julian, be careful!:warn_sm: The bribe is a trap! Watch your back!:upside:

Do you two tell bomb jokes in the security line at the airport too?

[jdaw1]

The category didn't have an editor. Does that mean I have to bribe a meta rather than an ordinary editor? Are they more expensive? (I'm not sure it's worth as much as two pizzas.)
