The new question-screening system I've noticed
Sorry to bother you yet again, but I have a problem with the fact that these questions have to be okayed before being posted in the pool. It's a great idea considering the enormous amount of crappy questions that stream through here, but it has it's flaws. It's probably not a major problem for the entire group, but it is with me. I'm pretty sure I'm an insomniac by choice, so I answer most of the questions really late at night, or really early in the morning. I recently I've discovered that there weren't any questions being asked at that time, which was weird because they normally are. around 8:00 or 9:00 AM, a flood of questions came in, filling a few pages. They were mostly questions from the night before. Some people sent duplicates of questions (Though I'm not sure why the duplicates were posted. Unless a different person posted the second unaware of the first) because there question wasn't immediately answered. Others needed help immediately (Couldn't get to sleep, etc). I wasn't sure if you wanted to adjust the methods of screening questions or what.

I know what you mean. I think it's annoying too. I was just about to get rid of the approval system, but then we got a flood from some ahole telling us all how to get-rich-quick and I was so frustrated I just couldn't bring myself to let questions show up automatically again.
Most of the time it works fine, because there are lots of level II mods now. other times it stinks. we're working out kinks - I need to think up some way for a question to just show up if it's three hours old, yup, that's what I think we need.
