I kinda just wish people could trust that we're doing our jobs, y'know?

We have many tools that help us get the job done.

I have a chart that shows the number of pending images on the date that I collect the data. I'm not especially diligent in doing it, but I've got 3 sets of data for this year so far, so, er, yeah.

Feel free to have a look

The VAST majority of pictures are approved within 3 days.

We have several people who make it a point to look at the back of the queue first.

Putting a mark on it that said "I saw this but didn't approve it" isn't gonna help anything, honestly. The complaints will just evolve "Why hasn't my post been approved yet" becomes "Why didn't Janitor X approve my post?" .... just like we regularly get messages like "Why did you delete my post?" The problem will just change.

the real question is... what is the root problem here, and how do we resolve it? and honestly, I have no idea.
