Lack of CD-Media Moderation

[kjohnson]

I find it hard to believe that no images have been posted to CD-Media since last Monday. Pictures posted to CD-Media must be approved by a moderator. Is that not happening? A similar problem regarding CD-Events was posted in the Support Forum. This forum is the greatest resource available to FIRST teams and I thank everyone that works so hard to keep CD running, but what is going on here?

I've uploaded photos a few days ago, and still, nothing.

I guess all the moderators are out attending events.

There are far fewer media moderators than there are regular moderators.

How does one become a moderator? I spend enough time here on CD, I might as well do something useful while I am here.

Same, I'm sure many others (including myself) would be happy to moderate CD-Media.

For the moderation positions that I have (which, mind you, does not include CD-Media uploads; I've got an image in the queue just like many of you), the invitation was made without a formal application.

Could some of the general forum moderators be given CD-Media moderation privileges?

I think the same thing. I am always on here, let us veterans that have been around for a long time and still here to help.

Brandon offered to make me a moderator a few years ago but nothing ever really came of it (they might as well make me or EricH the moderators of the Fantasy FIRST section since we're the only ones who really use it).

I added a bunch more CD-Media moderators this morning, after seeing the 30-some photos pending approval. As stated above, there weren't that many to begin with, and many of them have moved on to other things besides FIRST .. or just are too busy.

Thanks Brandon!

Hey bartender...Jobu needs a refill...of more CD-Media photo goodness.

I just uploaded 3 photos of the team at the 2012 Bayou Regional. I'm interested to see how long it takes for the photos to show up in the portal.

That said - thank you, mods, for all that you do.
