Submission counter to display position in queue to author

This would give authors submitting content a better idea of where they are in line. It wouldn't have to say how much time before a submission is reviewed, just how many submissions are ahead of theirs.

If you wanted to go a step further, you could also say how many moderators are currently reviewing stories.

Do certain moderators only review certain categories?

On a related topic, is there an information posting/page regarding what the site admin(s) look for in potential moderators of stories? Maybe allow the subscribed userbase to nominate a candidate for a volunteer moderator position?

Gold and Platinum members get looked at sooner, the benefits of being a paid member.

Story Mods are lush users as well, so they get to enjoy the site and not just review stories.

Yes, you can always advertise yourself or nominate others for Story Mods.

Oh, I wasn't aware I could nominate myself or others. I actually have extensive experience auditing policy and procedure documents as well as drafting new procedural documents for IT support environments as well as for the medical industry. Infact, most people don't know this, but 80% of the U.S. population is protected by policy documents I drafted and got approved for a major medical repricer.

I won't pretend to be the most experienced narrative author, but I can certainly find mistakes in spelling and basic grammar that others typically miss. So if the site admin would like another volunteer, I don't mind helping out.

Hiya,

Even if it was physically possible, i'm not sure having a number would work, as although we mostly try to work in order, there are many reasons we might not always do so. Someone short of time may look for a shorter story or poem. Some moderators may prefer to avoid certain categories etc.

For story verifiers, we look for well established authors (usually been here at least a year) who are technically gifted, able to contribute time and have the correct temperament to deal with authors who are often very uh, 'protective' over their writing, lol.

There are also lots of opportunities that arise in the forums for authors to assist people with editing or helping write stories, so if you're interested in helping, please keep an eye on the forums.

Thanks
