Hey everyone!

So, it's been a very long time since a journal entry was made here - since Jan 2017 actually. This group was running quietly with 2 votes per submission but it's come to my attention that even the many co-founders that have been recruited onto the "team" to help have over the years have gone inactive themselves, resulting in submissions becoming expired.

Unfortunately, I am deemed equal amongst these co-founders so I do not have permissions to alter their roles in any way nor can I force them to keep up with something so mundane against their free will. =P The owner has been long gone and left the group to me years ago and though I've been keeping up with it as much as I can, I can't expect everyone else to do the same for as long as I have and that's okay.


Enough of my rambling though - how do we fix this issue? In the past, I sought out more co-founders to help and even lowered the amount of votes needed, but I don't think that is a viable solution this time.

It's a bold choice, but I have decided to open all submissions to go through without needing to be voted on/all submissions will be automatically approved. This does cause for some chaos amongst the folders, but we've reached a point where that is the least stressful thing to do. If I leave it to one vote, I will also need to deal with possible complaints as well as having to deal with ever accidentally hitting "decline" on a submission that was meant to be accepted.

I've been running this group on the side for the past decade, so instead of shutting it down or abandoning it, I feel that's the best solution that can work for everyone. I trust that people will not abuse this freedom, and if they do - and it bothers anyone - they are welcome to report to me and we can decide on the next step. For now this is how I've decided to move forward and I hope that is okay for everyone else.
