Re: (OT), who decides, who adds it?

*sigh*

This node was well-written and definitely asks a lot of questions. However, I must admit that the post leaves me with a certain impression: who really gives a crap?

Normally someone will consider a node with the little Approval Nodelet thingy on the right side of the screen. This of course is if said someone turned it on under their user settings page. Now when something is considered, it ends up on a page called Nodes to Consider. Yep, this is where Monks and above can go to cast their opinion about nodes and actions that should be taken. It is up to the editors and gods to decide at what point action should be taken. Usually this is right after one of them becomes bored enough to actually go over to the nodes to consider page and review things. (When I say bored, I'm not saying that they don't do it often or anything like that. I'm just saying these guys don't get paid for this stuff and are doing it at their leisure.) Anyhow sometimes the editors and gods just say, "gee willy, something just isn't right with this node" and they fix it on the spot. They usually put something at the bottom of the node that says what they changed. Lo and behold, their name ALSO usually appears. (An example would be this node which incidentally was also written by you.)

What do you know? The wonders of reading.
