Acadia, we are not trying to penalize everyone, but the backlog in the testing area was getting way out of control. {wayyy above what you quoted up there} Some items were so backlogged till they stay for days if not a week, and more were coming in everyday...

We talked about doing 1 item approval and upload per provider, but that sounded pretty harsh, so we are allowing 3 per provider as opposed to the 5 per day like it was.

Also, we are not going to penalize those providers who use ShareCG..not everyone there does mass uploads.

Hopefully, with this system we can eventually cut down on some of the mass uploading as time goes along.

@MissNancy:

We discovered the duplicates while in the testing phase..we download each item uploaded here, and in the case of users on ShareCG, sometimes its pretty easy to spot if a provider has uploaded one file to Rendo more than once, by looking at the providers portfolio over there, and cross checking what has already been approved here....very time consuming, but one of those things that needed to be done,  in order to keep the abuses to a minimum.

Then sometimes we have those who have so many items, they are not aware that they have actually uploaded an item they already had gotten approved...so by doing all these cross checks, we can really cut out the needless duplicates, clutter, and sometimes abuse of our freestuff area.

@ Adp:

We're not going to cut out anything that has already been approved, this is all going forward..so if you have anything in the testing /pending area over 3 items, we will let you know ;) You can still upload 3 items per day, but only 1 of them will be approved per 24 hrs.

We will check the dates on all uploads, and if anything over 3 comes into pending in a 24 hr period, it will get deleted..so let's try to keep it at 3 if we can.

Hopefully, again, this will pan itself out..if it doesn't we'll, do something else until we get this monster under control :)
