Freesound Forums

I've got some sounds that have been sitting in the moderation queue for more than a week now - no description problems or copyright issues, all my own recordings.....is there anything I can do to help things along?

Been having the same issue, mine hasnt been picked up by a moderator despite being deleted and re uploaded once or twice now.

I think it just depends on how the mods set up the rota between them. I appreciate that there can't be someone modding consistently throughout the day, it will just depend on what time they can afford and how many they can get through in that time.

I would like to know how I could apply to be a moderator as it seems like a really awesome thing to do!

If there are any mods reading, I am genuine, please PM me if there is a process I can complete to become one.

That stinks for you because I uploaded 22 sounds I think 3 days ago and they got moderated the next day and then I uploaded another sound the day after that and it still got moderated the next day.

Also I would love to be a moderator as well and I have a lot of spare time, but the bad thing is I won't be on from May 23 - August 28 I think

I don't want to give the impression that I was complaining - I know the moderators here do it for the love of it. Please let me know if I can help. My sounds did go live after a few days.

I didn't get the impression you were complaining.

If there is a list of trials that one must pass, I am up for that haha

That goes for me to, lol

Yea, I actually stopped using this site for this reason alone. I am always coming up with wild sound clips and loops in Reaktor and Kontakt, as well as found sounds using my iPhone here in China. But I gave up after the last time where it took two weeks or more for a sound sample to get cleared. really ridiculous. Is somebody here really afraid of a massive lawsuit or something, or is there no body who does the job on a regular basis. When I first found this site I was in heaven. But sadly I give up unless sometime can change, and it does not seem like it will. This could be be an wonderful site and community with just a little more effort. No reason uploads cannot be automatically cleared, like at macjams and moderated later Can ahve volunteers from the people here do it even if it is so life and death. Sitting on some awesome stuff now, but I decided to pass as I cannot stand to keep coming back day after day and see a ten second sample is still not approved.

Personally, for me it's not such a big deal to wait for a moderator (although, two weeks would be pushing it). Granted, the wait can put your sounds several pages away from the actual date you've uploaded it on.. which can be a bit disappointing. I sometimes wonder if it's the members who donated to the site that get the first priority on moderation.
Or maybe it's the members who have been on Freesound for the longest period of time? I don't know.
I'm fairly new to this site so my assumptions would be premature at best.
