JM: What you said is actually not quite true,
all the moderators have access to
all the sections, but some are more experienced in one particular field, and may not look too deeply into a section that is outside their deeper knowledge. Also, as you know, we get
many wallpaper submissions, and sometimes we are so busy wading through those, that the sections with less uploads can get overlooked for a little while.
Another reason that you may sometimes have to wait a little while to see your submissions posted on the site is this: To be fair to people uploading walls and skins, no
single moderator will make a decision on whether a wall gets into the database, we have a comments area on each new upload and we all leave our comments and our reasons that we like/dislike the image. When all or most of the moderators have given their feelings about a piece, the last person to do so presses the "public" or "private" button based on whether the image has mostly favourable or unfavourable responses. All very democratic and fair, see?
The above only tends to happen with wallpaper submissions, if your skin is delayed it's usually because we have an issue with a copyright concern or similar. Someone will leave a comment like;
" I'm sure I saw this at DeviantArt last month by someone else, does it look familiar to any of you guys?", at which point a discussion will start as to whether it will be allowed or not.
I hope this gives you a little insight into how we do things here, and makes it easier to understand why walls and skins don't always appear straight away.
