Just out of curiousity, I did some figuring and came out with this:
22 screeners
1600 approx photos added in the last 48 hours
1 of 4 photos is accepted according to upload page (I know this figure is way off, so I will tone it down to 1 in 2, figured by the rate the queue is being screened compared to accepted photos in 48 hours)
That is 3200 in 48 hours that are screened!
Now we must figure in the '3 screener' rule, and I noticed about 1/3 of the photos in the queue get this. This means about 1100 photos are screened again. Lets assume a third of that gets through the second and another third of that get added. That would be an additional 400 approx.
So now, we have 4700 photos that get screened in a 48 hour period.
Divide by number of screeners, 22, and we get about 213 photos a screener.
Now we can break that down to 24 hours by dividing by 2, that is about 106 photos a screener per day. I know for a fact, that an image can take upto a miunte to screen. That is an amazing 1.5 hours a day each screener puts their time into screening.
So, stop complaining. I'd like to see you complainers put an hour and a half into volunteer work each and every day.
Way to go screeners! Keep it up!
