Or quit playing favorites and approve them in the order they are submitted. This is getting ridiculous.

13 hours for two of mine, of course this means they where not approved in the dead of night, so people might actually see them. :P

I have memes that take an entire day to feature, yet others feature about as fast as I submit them. Someone, somewhere once said it was an algorithm thing. However, if they have real live human beings doing manual approvals for every meme that comes down the fun stream, maybe those people aren't online or something? Maybe they don't check like they should, or something. Just speculating because I have no real clue. Maybe acuity will swing by and shed some light.

I've kindly and gently suggested it several times and will do so again: CAN MODS PLEASE BE NOTIFIED ABOUT A SUBMISSION SOONER THAN 12 HOURS?!?

For me it was politics.

It’s happened to me before... not sure how, because there is no mod button that says “feature at midnight”... I have a feeling the site is somehow taking an active role in holding memes back, not the mods.

Well I'm fairly certain at least some of the mods themselves have political biases that they let influence their decision on whether to put a meme through to featured.

Deciding to not feature is a one-time action. No mod can undo that, and the meme won’t be featured period without some intervention from the site admins. Personal streams (like politicsTOO) are generally more subjective as to what features, and generally speaking site admins aren’t going to step in. Delaying the decision whether to feature or not (slightly more related to the topic) is difficult to do in practice the more Mods there are on a stream. Mods don’t generally talk to each other, and they would have to conspire to hold off on featuring a meme to odd hours in the night, as it will be sitting there every time any Mod looks at the submission queue.. When I moderated Cats all by myself at the beginning, I had complete control of the order and what batch memes would feature in, etc. If I wanted, I could hold off on featuring a meme, and bury it after the submission queue grew to a reasonable size, or decide to not feature it at all. There is no “feature at midnight” option. But now with a handful of Mods, we just try to keep the Cats stream responsive, maintained and adhering to guidelines. Also I personally leave a comment when I choose not to feature a meme, usually something like “needs cats”.

Well, I wasn't referring to personal streams so much as the mods on the site's default streams.

sometimes memes take a long time to get featured for me, this is probably because I live in the southern hemisphere
