How can this be spammed? I mean if it looks good and doesn't have problems, than approve it. If it does, than don't approve it. Its a simple and spam free addition to GG.
The only way i could see it getting abused if multiple articles gets approved. Which the duplicate search thing needs to be upgraded, cause there has been more double articles approved in the last few weeks than 7 months ago. ------------------- Welcome to Crisis Core forum Welcome to Bad Company 2 God of War 3 official forum community | |

How could this not be spammed? I can imagine a lot of immature and new members just approving anything which comes through. When you open up authority to anybody then you put yourself open to a lot of shit.
Of course the level 3 requirement partly negates that, we'll just have to wait and see ------------------- | |

Actually you can't just approve it like that. It requires you to check the source before doing so, which prompts you to read it.
I suppose its the same as the full article preview. Trust me thats how the system works for me when i approved 5 articles yesterday. ------------------- Welcome to Crisis Core forum Welcome to Bad Company 2 God of War 3 official forum community | |

Considering how much rubbish the current approvers put through, is this really that good an idea?

quote DonnellyWe're aren't cyborgs, you know.  And I think it's a pretty good idea. But what I'm thinking is, we need to be able to locate the user-approved articles quickly. I suggest we have a seperate queue that only approvers/mods can access and have all such articles listed in there while they're already on the front page. So, we can fix any errors in them soon. (I just now sent an article with 2/3 approvals to RE). ~StarJet ------------------- Like CC:FFVII? Come visit us at the Crisis Core FFVII forum!

quote StarJetTekmo will be making a page that suits this purpose as his next priority. Also we might have to tune the report feature to make it easier for members to report and pull a news out of approved status. ------------------- The further back you can look, the farther ahead you can see. <paraphrased> - Winston Churchill | |

^Good point.
Maybe a plus/minus system would work best, much like the current thumbing system. | |

quote Final BladeYou obviously cannot think. They don't have to read it when they click it. They can open it and close it, quite obviously. It's not like there's any technology which can tell if you've read something or not. You can hit approve without reading anything. -------------------  | |

You obviously can't read, i said it prompts you to read it, i never said it was mandatory that you had to read it, i did that a few times. But i also read the last few ones.
My point was that you had to open the source before approving. Also Red, there has been many Double articles being let through the last 3-4 weeks. I don't know if the current system is flawed or something, but there been many doubles coming through than it was 5 months ago. ------------------- Welcome to Crisis Core forum Welcome to Bad Company 2 God of War 3 official forum community | |

quote DonnellyThe point of this system is to speed up approval times so people don't have to wait long to have their articles approved. A feature where 3 people can send it to the requires edit queue would just be a negative. Most people don't know what to look for to know whether an article should be sent to requires edit, and it can bring about problems. Someone can give a RE point just because he/she is against the news poster or something. Then someone else who is unsure might also follow suit. What I think is that such a feature isn't good at all. ~StarJet ------------------- Like CC:FFVII? Come visit us at the Crisis Core FFVII forum!

quote Final BladeWell your point is pretty lame since it's about 100x times easier for someone to open and close a tab/window rather than open a tab/window and read it. ------------------- | |

But that wasn't my point, your putting words in my mouth stating you HAD to read it. My point was you have to open the source before you can approving it. Which isn't easy since not alot of people doesn't have quick internet access, so loading pages does take time for some. Im glad im not one of them.
