A big thanks to @StalinDC who has stepped up to help the group, hopefully we can defeat the time-outs now!
I have been locked out of approvals or changes, I think DA may be getting ready to reset something, because EVERYTHING has been changed and I can't change it back.
Submissions are still timing out with only my vote and I cannot change permissions now.
Sorry guys, this on is on DA.
Following from @thomvinson's very understandably annoyed comments, I've just realised that I can't vote on approving anything submitted to the Alternate Reality and Ships & Stations - New folders. If this is a problem for several of us, it's no wonder submissions are timing out.
If anybody can suggest a workaround, or has admin privileges to allow us to vote on submissions in every folder, please feel free to speak up.
I have voted on everything repeatedly, only to see the submissions expire for the lack of a second vote, there are a few contributors voting on their own work, but they can't be bothered to vote for the rest of the group.
It is frustrating, I am tempted to abandon this group completely. . .
FanTrek https://www.deviantart.com/fantrek submissions keep stacking up and most of them eventually time out with just one vote, mine. If this group is to survive, we need more voting contributors, please PM me if you are willing to volunteer.
Otherwise, don't bother with submissions anymore, as the few active contributors are only voting on their own submissions and not voting on general submissions or more than the first three on the screen. I would boot them for selfishness, but Eclipse has effectively nerfed all group control.
This community is huge, and everyone wants their stories and art to be seen, but nobody wants to invest time in community maintenance.
If you are willing to help, please volunteer to be a voting contributor. Until someone else steps up, the timeouts will continue for lack of a second vote. PM me if you are willing to be an active contributor.
Thanks for your time
Thom. . .
