Unreasonable moderaton times. Are they caused by randomized moderations?

[Thanatos_Prime]

Since the updates earlier this year that randomized the moderation queue things have taken longer and longer to get moderated. I currently have several items that were submitted on 10/27 in the early morning still awaiting 3 votes. There are zero rejections on these items, but still they wait. I have plenty of other submissions since then that have been approved. It feels like some part of the process has broken down.

Are you able to provide specific examples of changes you feel are stuck in the system? We'll take a look and see what's up.

Sure here is one of the earliest ones:

To keep you posted, this particular item (above), which was submitted on the 27th of last month was finally accepted with no rejections this morning the 8th, a dozen days later, and with significantly lower moderation traffic these last few days. Meanwhile, there are still items from October waiting to be approved, one is attached

Based on what we are seeing with those, it looks like it's just taken that long for your change to get enough approvals. Maybe a slower month than normal, or potentially more skips than normal.

Gotcha, if we have people skipping these fixes because of the level of fatigue with change requests and subsequent corrections for the Developer and Publisher fields. I can understand that very vividly.

The DB has been busy lately. It feels as if I take a day off moderating and my queue is instantly back near 1000
