Document Approvals

Posted by kellie Jun 4, 2008

As some of you old-timers (heh) may remember, originally I was approving every document that was submitted. I basically just reviewed it for standards violations (of which there were few) and to weed out documents that weren't really how-to tips, but were questions.

I received some negative feedback about this model, and so for the past few months, everyone has been able to submit documents without approvals. This has resulted in some extra work for the moderators, and the munging up of our documents section with things that are better suited to discussions.

So, we've decided to re-enact the approval policy, but with a twist. user:username=mphenterprises} will now be responsible for approving documents. He is also only looking for standards violations and to weed out non-documents.

I encourage all of you to share your how-to tips & tricks in documents. They are meant to be the knowledge base of the PC World community, and as many have noticed, are also starting to appear in PC World's print magazine. Your contributions and knowledge are incredibly valuable to us, and everyone who reads PC World.

LOL Hi Adama. Shoot, I have the best of both worlds. I get to set my own hours for my business and mess around on this site whenever I want. :D

Things will start to pick up for me as the fall comes around but for now, I can enjoy my freedom a bit.
