Comments/Ratings for a Single Item

I think one of the reasons we have gotten so many empty submissions is that graphics could be uploaded only by users marked as contributors. To make it easier for newcomers to submit content, I have removed the requirement that only "contributors" may upload files. I have replaced it with the policy that blocked users may not upload anything. This replaces whitelisting with blacklisting. Newcomers are assumed to be trustworthy until they prove themselves not to be. With the restrictions that are already on uploading, I doubt it will be abused much.

Going in reverse chronological order, I have started to review the submissions still listed here. I have already marked as deleted several that were empty or which lacked the Zillions file it was allegedly linking to. But I did not actually delete anything. I have left alone some submissions made by other editors. In particular, I hope that Jeremy Good and Joe Joyce will attend to their old submissions and either complete them or delete them. Going from the bottom up, I have not yet found any that could be published. I will continue with this tomorrow.

Since ModifiedDate doesn't always get set, the links on this page are now sorted by CreationDate.

I fixed this page to not display a list of letter links if the number of links exceeds 260. It will now show all the links.

I added this page to the index in order to report some changes to it in a comment. Many submissions were getting lost, because this page would show only the last 90 days worth of submissions, as though this page were analogous to the What's New page. I changed it to display all past submissions that still haven't been approved, and they go back to 2005 and -1. Let's try to process this backlog of submissions and review new submissions in a more timely manner.
