Answer 1

HonFu You are right,
I fully support you.👍
Why is this progress going so slowly? I don't know!!
a few of my lessons were accepted, but a large number of quizzes were rejected, "finally", that I got a response!!
I simply stopped sending them!
I'm sorry that everything is like this, and I really would like to change that, of course, as much as I can contribute.

Answer 3

You know...
Everyone can help rate submissions.
Sometimes you even come across your own.

Answer 4

HonFu that's a good question. I don't have a verifiable answer to that. My impression is that under the current system, each/all questions are given fair exposure to multiple reviewers before they are ejected from the submission pool. I would prefer that once the first reviewer sees a spam quiz submission and reports it, no other reviewer will have to see/read it, try to answer it, and dislike it.

Answer 5

To stick to the original topic of pending quiz submissions...
Yes, I agree that more transparency into the Quiz Reviewer badge awarding process would probably help with alleviating the backlog.
However, I do still think that this is a duplicate question.

Answer 6

Janning⭐, definitely duplicate, of course.
But since it's also a prevalent problem that can't be solved by us alone but that should be solved, I personally feel totally okay with it.
How about a mfdafop tag?
'Marked for deletion after fixing of problem.' 😁

Answer 7

HonFu , I wish there was a special sort/filter for "Pending Resolution" so that we can at least add it to the earliest post (just to rub in how long it has been 😉). I mean, we have a filter for "Unanswered" so, why not? This is just a different kind of Unanswered.
No, I don't think SoloLearn is afraid of outsourcing content review to the community at all. (I mean, who turns down free labor?) I just don't think they have the tools in place to support it yet (e.g. being able to review each other's pending lessons so that we can organize them into a course / curriculum that isn't horribly disjointed and basic collaboration tools).
And, as always, bringing it back...
I think the reporting tools that are already available for the quiz questions which are currently in the challenge pool should be available for quiz questions that are pending in the submission pool so those of us who review don't have to put up with reviewing submissions that are clearly nonsense (e.g. not for the correct weapon, spam, etc.).

Answer 8

Same with lessons and assignments: It takes an eternity until they get approved.

Answer 9

Danijel Ivanović, two interesting reads.
What I find most interesting: The problem of slow reviews persists since 2017 - now we have 2019.
The excuse 'people don't review enough' - well, I'll only say what has been said two years before:
There are badges for it but we have no idea how they are granted; after reviewing 1000 quizzes blindfolded, you get annoyed and stop.
However, sololearners not reviewing stuff doesn't work as an excuse for assignment and lesson proposals being ignored for up to a year - because that's alone in the hands of SoloLearn!
What I don't like about it: Quality riddles, assignments and lessons are available but we never get to see them, because they aren't reviewed.
On the other hand, latele we get a shower of trivia tasks that contribute close to nothing to our progress, motivational blabla posts plus all these new ads supposed to trigger us into activities (which often we are doing or have already finished).
Niveau is declining.

Answer 10

Danijel Ivanović, in the end it will be the call of the developers I think - it's their company after all.
If (what I suppose) there's not enough money to hire people to do the necessary content work, they'd have to give it in the hands of the community.
There could be a special sort of volunteer, that's elected by platinum mods or whatever, who review all that material. Like this, maybe more work would get done.
I suspect they are afraid to outsource content duty in fear quality might decline.
But really, as it is now, with sololearn account on constant trivia duty and all actually educative parts of SoloLearn in eternal paralization, I can't see how it could be worse.

Answer 11

Won't just downvoting the nonsense lead to the same result? Takes 1 second and eventually pushes it out of the approvable zone so that they decline it (if someone gets around to do the declining, that is).

Answer 12

It would definitely take some frustration out of reviewing. After a while of reading only spam, most would just close that window.
However, that again would require people asserting that it's really spam and not only other people trying to get ahead by marking it as such.
The same as here in q&a: All these invalid posts make your eyes bleed. But if there's no barrier at all to posting (and noone standing at such a barrier), it will be just a flood impossible to contain.
Moderators have the right to mfd posts here; don't (or can't) they have the right to mfd spam in the factories as well?

Answer 13

HonFu
Only certain mods (gold and above, I think) can mfd posts in the Q&A area.
As far as I know, we have the same privileges as everyone else when it comes to rating quiz submissions in the quiz submissions pool. I could be wrong here.
