That said, the posts didn't stay pending to the end of time. Every few weeks, someone would roll up their sleeves and generally delete everything that wasn't awesome.

I thought the auto-moderator was put in place to avoid clogged-up uploading limits.

It's like... the only difference now is that it happens on a schedule.

hmm. Well maybe that is the problem. You keep telling people not to take it personally. But art is personal. It's your thoughts, your mood, your personality. So maybe people would rather see it treated like it's personal. I'm not speaking about detailed constructive criticism and long pep talks, but having your post deleted by someone is at least a 'sorry. but this doesn't cut it'. the auto-moderator doesn't even give you that. It's just a cold date. 'this post was deleted because it reached a deadline'. You're right, nothing personal.

(I feel the need to point out that these are just speculations. They are meant to be helpful, and if they are not, just tell me and I'll stop :)
