A short question for Erin

[Marshall]

Sorry, I couldn't figure out how else to ask this, but should we worry about posting too many pics. In particular in the econ section we started a thread of memes and the question came up about whether this would cause TM to crash, or have other deleterious consequences. Here's the thread in question:

By the way, is this the wrong way to try to bring up a question? I originally wanted to send a PM, but then I realized I couldn't send one to you.

Erin, I will take this chance to ask you some questions as well. How long does it usually takes to get posts reviewed by moderators? For me it seems it's taking more than 2 days... Are all posts reviewed by moderators? Is there a minimum number of posts required for speeding the process of getting published?

These are quite stressful days for applicants, I would really appreciate the fact of interacting with other members.

Thank you for your help. Sorry if this isn't the right way to ask these questions.

The feedback forum is the best place to ask questions about forum and web site. But I do check the lounge occasionally, too. And unfortunately, I had to turn of PMs long ago because of the sheer volume of questions I was getting. I actually got more PMs than emails.

Hi there. The feedback forum is better, as I keep an eye on that. I try to moderate all posts daily (but weekends can be tough). I've not been able to attend to the posts for a day or two, though, because of some big projects at work. I just logged on today and saw almost 100 posts to be moderated! I'm try to get through those.

Yes, I know it's a stressful time. I'll try to go better, perhaps by recruiting some more moderators to help out.

Images should cause the server to crash. We have plenty of CPU and RAM for the forum.
