Waiting for screening
Posted 1 year ago
What does it mean if a photo is stuck in "waiting for screening" for several days?
Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure, but I think it's could depend of two things. If they have many photos in that moment, so they wait, or if they are not sure to put photo in screening (I read that not only photos go on screening, but only the photos could be published, if is not good enough the photo has rejected before screening).

Cheers

Alex has a point, as far as the duration is concerned... I haven't been around for a few months but now the long time spent "waiting for screening" was a surprise. Probably it's because the high amount of submissions. Poor screeners.

Yep that's probably it!

Two screeners were abducted and spirited away to some quaint hostelry in the deep darkest recesses of the Scottish Highlands where upon were subjected to much forced consumption of alcohol and haggis, neaps and tatties.

It's ok though, we have let them go so they can return to civilisation and resume screening folk's images, have no fear, your images will be placed in screening once the afore mentioned screeners have regained their senses and faculties.....

Too kind of you to let them get out of there alive John! Much appreciated! =) Sounds like you had a blast, I must fit in a stop there on my Europe roadtrip this summer!

So that's where they were! I should have known.

I had a photo 3 weeks in screening but rejected without comment. At least for photo being long waiting there is a comment.
Now I have another photo, already in the 4th week now. Meanwhile some photo was rejected within 2-3 days. The longest time I had published was 1 week. But this time 3 weeks and more is too long. What happen?

nothing, same here, just let be. Usually it is a bad sign if it stays more than 2 weeks in my experience.

I guess the screeners have a lot of work and things take a bit longer to expire.

Few days are perfectly normal I think, My todays published one was writing more than 2 weeks, it depends on haw many uploaded picture are in screening and on time of curator I think.

A week is OK.
Mine was published in a week 
The longest was about 15 days and it got published afterwards
Good luck in screening :)

I feel that the screening times that we are subjected to these days are bordering on the ridiculous. My last image was rejected on day 13 or 14, and personally I feel that this might be an indication that the screening system might need a closer inspection, and maybe a few additions or two. I realise that the FP is limited to 32 images per day, and the members have increased, but why keep so many serious amateurs panting to receive the bad news. Frankly - In my opinion it borders on abuse:)

yes..the period of waiting  is much longer that it was before...

but i have a question
in old 1x we when we posted photo to screening...it has status "waiting for screening"...and in this time we could have deleted the work if something was wrong....
now i see that if i upload a photo to selection i can not delete it ...
or maybe we can...and i just don't know where ?

it would be really nice if we could still remove our work before it is  "in scrrening"

Monique you can post that in the feature suggestions thread.

Knowing if it made it to member screening would also be nice, as you do not get a message telling you saw anymore.

Andre I have to agree, but with the number of screeners and members that was inevitable, and will only get worse.

Now, one of use should send a link of this thread to Ralf....:p

I can't help thinking about the workload of the curators... With the growing popularity of 1x it's become a full time job now hasn't it !? :)

If I'm not mistaken there is only six of them to screen all the photos that are posted on 1x. Am I right ?

As André stated it, I think that adding a couple of new screeners would help but I know that it is difficult to do so as all the screeners must know each other well, share the same values (I mean 1x values) and that the "integration" process of a new screener is not something easy.

Anyway good luck to the curators !

I will be more happy if my photo is rejected within 3 days than 3 weeks without any comment unless the standard message "your photo has been bla bla bla ..."
My first published work took 3 days, just when my membership was in 5 day old, very surprising. once I got 3 photos published in a day, very unbelievable. Another photo was published after more than 3 weeks.
However, some photos are rejected and more disappointing, it took more than 2 weeks and without any comment. I mentioned above.

Screening/selection time is really an issue now. My real work is dealing with vendor management, to ensure their deliverable, and I don't want the increasing of their clients will impact to their deliverable to me. I knew it's too extreme to compare, but my suggestion is, 1x should stick to maximum screening time, say 2 weeks. It means, the currators must take decission. Otherwise my photo in selection will stack and many more from other members, and at the end, the currators will never end up with is. My worry is, they lose their energy and reject great photo.

Hope this is considerated. 
Another suggestion is to add the number of currators (common action indeed :D)

We give each photo as much time as it needs, but if you prefer we can reject all photos which haven't been published in 2 weeks.

It's a wickedly hard job but I kinda disagree with the "same values" or "1x values"  part, though they certainly need to work well together and respect each-other to some degree, without question. As for values, I'd hope they would have quite different values as that would help the site grow and expand or else risk that things become predictable, incestuous and plain old boring. The further they broaden the screeners collective scope the better things would inevitably be.

Hi Ralf, 
I would agree if it applies to all members or decided by the team/owner. This idea is to minimize the stacks of waiting photos on the selection process, because the number of them will increase since everyone have at least 1 slot per week while the selection process is slower than that. It's just like cases in the court. We can imagine for member with 5 and 10 slots or more. 
This maximum selection time limit is just an idea to manage the work load balance, so the 1x team can spend more time for critiques, forum, or perhaps events/activities/workshopes etc which more educating for members.
Anyhow  I dont really know for sure your and team's load. Just guessing. 
Maybe it's not the right topic to discuss, so you can drop or ignore it of course. 
Warm regards, 
Sebastian.

Pretty sure he was using a bit of Hillbilly sarcasm in his reply Sebastian...

I have one that's been to voting for more than one month now (and still is).
But this is not what I want to say... I forgot which was the topic with the talk about titles in voting. Let me use this one to express my gratitude for giving this feature back - thanks, Jacob!

Balazs, just checked your images and there's nothing currently in screening. Do you still see it in screening or did it get taken care of?
 
Posted 1 year ago
I have one in screening above 2weeks...I want to make it clear published on not. Other 10 photo was rejected in a few days after uploading it.I often doubt it is forgotten...
 
Posted 1 year ago
Yes, I have a photo that has been sitting in screening for more than 2 weeks (http://1x.com/#!/photodirectory/411957). Don't know if it gets forgotten, because the other photos got rejected very quickly (in a matter of days).

Still waiting for my first photo to get accepted :)

2 weeks is nothing. some of my photo had been there for 3-4 weeks. some of them published, some not.

Hi Nicolas, you are so lucky.. I guess this is the process:

1. bad photo: max 4 days to get rejected. I got recently 2 days.
2. good photo: in range of 4-7 days to get published.
3. so-so photo: goes to voting
in this voting process, will depends on voting result. 
a. if many members like the photo, then curator will consider to publish it.
b. if more people doesn't like the photo, the curator will give chance for the photo to get better score from member. this makes our photo hanging there for more than 2 weeks. longer means bad. but still it has chance to get published.

I am sure with this process.

let me share with you. the 3 photos were published within 4-7 days

this took 4 weeks

the rest of my published work were published within 2-3 weeks.

mmm i'm not so sure. The final decision is always the curator's one regardless of what the member screening results are. That's been said many many times, and I am pretty sure it is that way after 2 years in here..... 

In any case the system is pretty well described somewhere. I assume you are choosing not to believe it?

I dont know about the times for publishing.  What i know is that all my last not published images ( most of them :)  ) are rejected in the first 3-4 days.

I have you all beat. 23 hours and gone. Thanks, thanks a lot Ricky.   :)

And another thing. If that's the case, why do I or anyone else for that matter bother to screen? 80% think the image was a great idea and one curator thinks not, so, oh well? Let me know if this is the case, and I'll save some valuable time to do something else. I enjoy screening, but if it's just for my benefit, I'd rather take a nap.

but I believe vote would influence the curator who sent it for voting.
but I agree with everyone that the screening process take very long, and for those who has been waiting for so long, and got rejected without any comment is very painful.

I posted on another topic that i will wait until i have some photos to submit, i submitted one photo and it is rejected, but i really don't know how long it took to be rejected, maybe more than one month, so i will try to select my best photos ever and edit them for the best i can then i will try again later to submit.

Hello Hideyuki,

Please do not worry as your submission is not forgotten. Some pictures just take more time for the crew to decide.
