I love the new automatic story approval system! · 12:54am Feb 26th, 2016
Of course, I could be a little biased here. I submitted Applejack, I Can Explain! in the morning, and it was posted in minutes. That's good, since I always want to post the story to relevant groups, and don't want to have to keep checking to see if it made it through the queue. Then, since I picked a time when no one else was posting stories, it spent an inordinate amount of time on the front page (about ten hours) and made the feature box. I'm always happy to do so, but admittedly, this wasn't a story that broke any new ground.
Thanks to everypony who read the story and commented!
I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop on my automated submission. Like, when I least expect, a mod's going to pull it down and send me a PM explaining the obscure rule I broke.
I know that's not likely to happen, but I still think it will.
I like that the put in a button to put it in the moderation queue.
I agree, I think the new Auto-Approve system is going to work out just fine until someone decides to abuse it.
