There are currently only about twelve approvers that regularly check the queue. I know there are others that approve a bunch without using the queue but uploaders dont really see that. Would it be time to start a drive to promote more?
A few suggestions:
@☆♪
@kittey
@Blue_Trident
@Elektronik
@Cyberia-Mix
@Tapper
@Soundtracker
@upupu
@4get
@recklessfirex
Any others?
There are currently 78 accounts with approval rights but many do only the bare minimum to keep their privilege. Particularly the "lottery winner" non-builder+ approvers, there are currently 13 (12 if you dont count Squishy) of them, making up 16.6% (13/78) of the accounts that currently have approval privileges. (You can view the list of these approvers @ https://danbooru.donmai.us/users?commit=Search&search%5Bcan_approve_posts%5D=true&search%5Bmax_level%5D=31&search%5Bmin_level%5D=20&search%5Border%5D=date&utf8=✓)
Only four of them have more than 1500 approvals after having had approval rights for more than a year (except squishy). Perhaps we should consider this experiment a failure and start revoking their privilege. Im not against non builder approvers per say but it should be based on merits, not chance.
