Sounds like more trusted folks should be brought on as mods to help with the bottle neck.

Oof. Sounds like they need their mod card revoked.

Luls. It’s actually very obvious. Not sure why those guys joined the team. At least we are set with Mondo, Bottleneck and a few others.

Maybe you didn’t pay enough? I’d ask for a refund.

The queue itself is also hilariously daunting. Between needing to approve every bit of fan art submitted for a specific movie to every sticker from one band to stuff that's 5-10 minutes of googling...I fully admit I've fudge the bed on doing more of my share but I know some new people have been brought on since last year and yeeeeeeah.

At least Mondo, Bottleneck, Obey, etc. leave their info somewhere easy to find.

Perhaps for obscure fudge, ya should put in the Add Art thingee that peeps need to submit a link to the art or perhaps a blog post (if there is one) about the art so it's easier to find? I agree it's prolly annoying AF to approve stickers and swag, as well as garbo comishes, but there's gotta be at least one team member on all those fb comishes, no?

How are ya'll even getting/vetting new Team Membas anyway? I've neva seen an application. Luls.

i've asked prefect to revoke all the useless "volunteers" access. but he's been busy with things these days and isn't around much... as it goes. only peeps around helping out don't seem to have any power to do anything. so good. if it was up to me i'd boot em all.

Also, to be frank, who gives a fudge about those except for the person who submitted them and maybe two other people. Who gives a fudge about stickers at all? Pins? Do we have socks and shoes that Stout dropped not long (or was it long?) ago in the db? Does one really need to keep track of stickers they have in a shoe box? Or maybe someone wants to keep an eye on the “value” of the said stickers?

I think I've referred some people who volunteered after seeing the queue go slow. When they see what the queue actually consists of, they kinda understand.

It's no excuse, though when part of what makes EB kinda great - that it's from a lot of corners - it means that either people (including myself, I admit) will add/approve stuff in our competencies because it's the fastest or we'll have to dedicate significant time as entries we don't know will take a couple minutes each to verify, correct, etc. And it just adds up.

I'd probably ask people to include in the notes their sources, but I learned from handling Tool posters that some of that is like, fan groups or eBay that have to be scoured.
