Question

Anyone else seeing 8-week moderation delays?

I’ve recently started contributing again after a couple of years off.

 

I’ve uploaded a number of assets and in the In Review tab I’m seeing the message:

 

"Thank you for your submission, your files will be reviewed as soon as possible. Moderation may take up to eight weeks." (screenshot attached).

 

Is this the new normal now? In the past my files were usually reviewed within a week.

 

Could the longer review time be because I’ve been inactive for a couple of years, or is this happening for everyone?

There is no "normal" when it comes to review times. It can vary from just a few hours to overnight to many months.

It can vary. If something hasn't been reviewed for 3 months or more, it's probably stuck in the queue and needs to be re-submitted.

Thanks for sharing that. Three months does seem like a very long time. In the past when I was actively contributing, reviews rarely took more than a week for me. I’m just trying to understand if turnaround times have materially changed since then, or if this is more of a temporary backlog situation. Does anyone know what the current average review time is supposed to be?

Again, it can vary. I have 1 or 2 assets reviewed per day. Although none today. There is also no longer a first in-first reviewed scenario. They often tend to jump around, seemingly ignoring some assets and reviewing new submissions immediately. I've had some reviewed within a few minutes of submission.
