No problems here.

Cool, it's now in as you may tell from the test email.

Just FYI I have contacted Rusty to see if he plans to come back and be an active editor as I want to clean things up a bit, if not he will no longer have Editor status.

Still need to add mailing editors when we add an article for review.

Okay it now emails editors when you submit for review.

The spam report system for comments is now less useless - it now gives you buttons to edit and delete the comment, as well as the original button to just remove the report...oops forgot the really useful stuff :P

Please guys don't approve articles that have a tagline that contains info the main article doesn't, the questverse one for example the tagline explained what the game actually is, the article did not I just added it in.

Please make sure you read the notes:
QuoteTaglines: At least 100 characters long, no longer than the tagline image. Make sure no information is in the tagline that isn't in the main article!

Is it acceptable to use different wording in main article than tagline, while conveying the same information?
Sometimes pasting a tagline into article doesn't cut it.

As long as you aren't missing information from the article that the tagline has, the reason is a massive % of visitors get linked directly to an article and don't even see the front page - so if info is the tagline the article doesn't have they won't see it.

What about "Author" access permission level alongside "Editor" to make authors life easier. Like ability to monitor approval status of own articles, editing of ones article, approving of editors edits, nice badge in comments, silly hat for ones chicken and so one?

People get auto emailed when an article is denied or approved.

As for authors ability to edit, that may be a possibility in future.

Giving the original author the ability to edit his post does sound very user-friendly, however I'd advise only for registered users to reduce spam. Also maybe an editor should need to re-approve the edit, just in case to prevent vandalism?
