    @UnovanZorua @TheJeffers I think that Pokemon eating post shook things up.

    So it seems like ranking up actually does something. I wonder what happens if someone reaches 5 stars, then. Maybe reaching 5 stars makes Legendary/Mythical pictures available. Probably not.

    @UnovanZorua it's not certain that ranking up does anything. It is possible that it lowers the amount of posts caught in moderation, but that still needs to be tested in order to be either confirmed or refuted.

    I'm here to give a update on my thoughts surrounding moderation.

    Seeing as how both @BlaziiBoi and @JuliusVercelli seem to have their posts caught in moderation, I doubt that the age of an account has any affect on this, since the former is a relatively new account and the other has been here for over a year at this point. This also makes me doubt that moderation has significantly decreased compared to around 3/4 of a year ago or so.

    Now I believe it could still be the case that rank affects moderation, or it's possible that moderation is based on the frequency of posts (specifically family-friendly ones) posted.

    @puplover1118 It is probably tied to rank.

    There could be alternative or additional criteria but it is difficult to tell from the outside.

    Given that we all seemed to experience a sudden relaxed moderation around the same time, it is also possible that some new rules change or coding change was implemented that affected our accounts simultaneously.

    Perhaps we were manually flagged as safe, and/or other accounts were flagged as requiring stricter moderation.

    Again, very difficult to tell without greater knowledge of the admin system or confirmation from a mod.
