I was thinking about Quote Admin when a couple of things stuck out to me:
1. Oh shit, it's against the guidelines to put comments in the quotes. Old habits die hard. Maybe I could just-- 2. No, no duplicate submissions. Right. Oh well, I guess it's out of my hands now. Still, I'd like to see how it's doi-- 3. Guess I can't. Nevermind.
So, my actual suggestions are "a way to edit submissions" & "a way to search the submissions."
Also, while I'm here, I may as well ask, why does it give you 1 random quote at a time to vote on, but also quotes from the same site/Fundie that you can't actually do anything with?

And I still don't see why you'd vote on 1 randomized submission at a time.

And I still don't see why you'd vote on 1 randomized submission at a time. Same site is there in case someone's screwed up the fundie name(happens constantly), and it's not random order, it's the submission order they came in. Which does two things, lets me have a fairly simple system for progression to avoid the old voting issues, and railroads people into reviewing the quote itself rather than treating public admin as just another page to read. Searching new submissions actually occurs with the same fundie and same site displays you're given on a submission attempt, I haven't put together a separate page for it, but unless you mangle both the person and the source it should show up in those two. For editing submissions, do you mean on submit or after it's been submitted? I thought I'd put in an edit prior to submit, and a edit after submission ability(up to final approval, with a notation of time edited and vote value prior to edit, thus why this shit takes me a while, I have no where to put that right now) would be included in the user upgrades I've been putting together for a while now. Not in yet, and one of my more annoying road blocks for a satisfactory implementation.

Eheh... fuck me, I hit modify not quote. Lithp brought up some good points, and I intended to address them... only I ate his post instead. well, my response is here if Lithp remembers the rest of what he wrote he can toss it back in, because my browser is not cooperating with me in reclaiming it. Typically they get caught and cleaned if the quote is particularly good. I'm not a total bastard about it anymore, but there was a point that I'd delete them on sight. Since it's not as common after the great purges I'm a bit more lienient. I'd say if it draws some emotional reaction, be it amusement, supification, utter horror, or is in some way rather interesting approve it. If you get nothing out of it, delete it. We're mostly trying to weed out the ones that just don't seem worth reading, and we get a surprising number of those some days. If there's an inkling that someone may find it amusing, then abstaining is a decent choice, things you're entirely used to hearing but still know is rather wierd. But One of the reasons I've kept public admin around is to see what others think, I do keep a rough track of how many votes seem to be on a series of quotes when I go through, so if one has a particularly low count I assume a lot of people abstained. It's not quite the eye catch as a lot of deletions, but it does generally get me to look at something with both the approval and delete counts quite low.

I don't use public admin a lot. Feels like spoilers, man.
Also, I really didn't say anything else.
So yeah, I guess I could submit a quote from a Fundie, read the "other quotes from same Fundie" thing, then cancel the submission & use that like a search function. I don't remember, can I see the amount of Deletes & Approvals it's gotten like that?

No, it only shows the quotes itself. Another one of the user changes I was going to put into place was a public admin tracker. Relatively easy, just haven't had the time to make it yet.
