So, the only important thing about moderation in your opinion is how long it takes? You're indifferent to all the other changes?

I don't mean to play down the importance of time, of course - that's why I included the warning that there will be long delays for the first while - but speed isn't the primary thing we're aiming for with these changes, it's just a happy side effect.

I have to admit I was a little surprised to see what appeared to be an added layer of complexity rather than the simplification I thought HP was once hinting at when they spoke of reviewing the system, but if it works towards the aims of this site, then that's fine by most of us, I'm sure

I know what you mean . The new system does involve a lot more information than the old. But there's also an element of transparency here - previously creators only got the info that the mods deemed they needed, now they get everything (almost - we've still got loose ends, like publishing the rubrics in full). So while it's more to take in than before, it hopefully demystifies the process a bit, and makes the next step in the process a bit more predictable, especially when it comes to CRs. It's perhaps not simpler, but it's also much less obscure, imo.

I just got to try this out first hand, got the feedback for the mod and made changes and so on. This new system is really nice, I had no problems with the old system but the new is quite clear when you see the stars you can immediately see, what part is ok and what not and that's great. I haven't read all the comments on this thread so if my three suggestions have been already mentioned here I apologize.

1.
When uploading the item. Would it be possible to get a full editor when entering the main text? Now it seems to be a quick editor, no buttons to bold text or add links. I ended up writing the text as a "reply" to another thread where I could use the full editor and then copy pasting it to the upload editor so I didn't have to insert the bold tags and link tags by hand.

2.
The second suggestion is about replying to the feedback. I edited the main text, wrote my comment and then hit update. the page refreshed and I see my comment. Then I scroll down the page a bit and again there is the same section, of attention, step 1 make changes, step 2 update. And again this section has the update button. So then comes the great question of do I have to click this update button too? Which of course I did because it was a button and it was active but that just emptied any comments I had added to the post. So I had to go back and re-do the commenting on the feedback.

The older version had a more clear, this has now gone back to the moderator queue, message that showed up after you made the changes and press update. Now I think it went back to the queue because I can see my comments when I return to the page but there is no clear indication that it has gone back.

3. Thirdly I'd disable all editing buttons after it goes back to the que, so people wouldn't be tempted to press stuff

I don't know if this goes here - I noticed the change (finally getting around to "complaining") AND the link regarding the new system so.... If it goes someplace else, let me know so I can resubmit or move it for me and let me know where it went!

I hate, hate, hate that you eliminated the tabs at the bottom of the pages. I do what I'm supposed to do and read through the Overview page to see what the item does, needs, downloading instructions, etc. Now, when I get to the bottom and want to download or read comments, I have to click on the scroll several times to return to the top. I want - I NEED - the option of being able to click at the bottom without having to take those additional steps. It doesn't sound like much but it is. If you don't want to put the tabs back at the bottom, you need to at least put a button that takes you back to the top.

Considering there are currently exactly 100 items in the queue right now, as whiterider said, theres a bit of a backlog. Just be patient and we'll get to each in turn.

I guess you haven't noticed the little "Top" link thats been at the bottom right hand corner of download threads (in a fixed position) for a couple years now? It's on the grey bar with the Edit button, bottom right of your browser window.

who work so hard to maintain this site for us cc junkies. Thank u all for u'r hard work and continued dedication. I love this site and almost all of my cc comes from here. I am sure once every one has used the new system a couple times we will all be happy with it. Thanks again to all ur creators and their hard work.

Not sure where to report this, so I thought I'd put it here... Hopefully someone "official" is still watching this thread... I noticed on one of the recent pose packs that was upload, there is a new section in the "Download" tab with the title "This is a Custom Pose or Animation". (I believe this was mentioned as one of the enhancements to the new process.) In the text under this box (and I'm guessing it's auto-text), there are links to "Pose Player" and "Animation Player". Both links appear to be dead. The one to cmomoney is a-okay, though.

Here is a link to the pose pack I happened to be looking at when I noticed this issue. http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=498737

k2m1too: Thanks for the heads up! There was a weird character in the URLs that I copy pasted - so it's now fixed.

I do agree, the feedback sounds like it will be very helpful. Speed of moderation though is discouraging, considering my first submission was made the very same day as the queues opened and I see more recent downloads being posted. Understand, I'm not really complaining, just providing feedback for you that is a little discouraging. I have several other things I'd love to submit, but haven't, due to the backlog. I know everyone is busy and that some moderators may able to moderate certain types of uploads quicker than others. Keep up the good work.

It may be off topic and you guys may redirect me to Creator Issues, but there seems to be no one there. Anyway, I have uploaded my creation for about a week, and I do wonder that is there a long moderation queue? Certainly over 96 hours, I think.

What about others?

We're doing them as fast as they come in - right now 101 in the queue of which 60 still need to be looked at. I'm going to be going through as much of the backlog as I can tonight so hopefully a lot of you will start getting through the queue. I'm really sorry about the delays here - even though it's faster to process each one now, we're just getting swamped with new uploads!

I would just like to say the new system is so much better than the old one. I was one of those people that submitted something (a year or two back) and got back a very long and confusing of negative criticism and no real answers. And got rather discouraged, so I just deleted alot of the stuff I wanted to try to upload, and just came to MTs to download things. The new system is great, and the feedback now is amazing. I actually just fixed my 2nd upload (I think it will be the 1st one to be accepted ), and thanks to the great feedback I made it even better.

And I plan to submit even more sims and houses to MTS!

And to the moderator that reviewed my submission. Thank you!

I know Delphy answered regarding times so you probably won't need to post in Creator Issues but I just wanted to let you know that CI -always- looks empty. As a user, you can only see the threads that you start there while moderators can see all the threads in there. Don't worry, we're there if you do post!

I've been meaning to upload some new sims...

This is great improvement. I adore it. :lovestruc
Now will be more fun and interesting make new creations.

I was using the new moderation system yesterday, and apart from a few hiccups (waves sheepishly to the poor uploader who accidentally got rejected instead of accepted - you know who you are) I think it is actually a lot better than the old system.

It helps when moderating to have a full set of things to look for - is this guideline met or not - it is very clear to moderate and hopefully clear for the uploader too. I am still a little slow with it, but that is just getting used to a new setup.

I have a question that I am not sure where to put, and since the first post mentions what it's related to I figure I'll ask it here.

Now that content from FA from TSR can be included in lots, what kind of granted permission is required to actually include these lots? Since TSR has TSRAA, very few creators there have specific guidelines as far as I've been able to tell. I personally think TSRAA should count wherever, but I checked their definition and it's technically only for uploading on TSR. Do MTS want us to contact each creator to get specific permission, is TSRAA status considered enough?

I have a question.

How do I know my upload even went through. I got no nice letter saying it was received and also how long should I wait before I try uploading again? I haven't heard anything for four days now.

doorknob, if you haven't received a PM, then your upload didn't go through and, indeed, there's nothing from you in the queue. If you go to User Tools -> User Control Panel, you may find that a draft was automatically saved, which you can use to resubmit.

gummilutt, TSRAA is pretty specifically only applicable to lots uploaded to TSR, so it's not sufficient for including stuff on MTS. If you want to include TSR content and the creator doesn't have a policy, then yes, you should contact the creator. You can also remove the content from the sims2pack/sims3pack and list it as required, with a link for downloaders to get it straight from TSR.

^^^^

Thank you whiterider. No indeed it did not go through. Thank you I was so confused.

LOOL True Story!...:3

Who ever said this site was not popular has not been on here long enough cause since i joined here its always got stuff uploaded on here and some stuff that cant be found anywhere else.

It was a joke, darlin'.
