I hv just read in a thread discussion the articles with better quality features quickly whereas ones that are low may take time. Is it true? I don't think so! I have had articles that got featured at once without any rejection or hubpro edits. However, the time taken to get featured was around 8 to 9 hours. I always thought it depends on the work load the moderators have. Is there more to it? HUBBERS Plz help.
I think your track record plays a part. When I started here it took up to eight hours to get featured. Now with more than 180 featured Hubs and most going on to niche sites approval takes a couple of hours.
I think there is definitely some merit behind that.
I remember when you first joined, Rupert. You have been very busy! Good for you glad it's working out..
Hey Jessie, what's your opinion about QAP processing?
I think that all around it is a fair process. Besides going through Hubpages editors there are other factors like Mturk where the work is graded also. Whenever someone posts in forums looking for advice to pass, I don't think I have ever disagreed with it not being featured.
Logically, the speed of the QAP has to depend on the workload of the team. The QAP is done through MTurk and because they are all home workers, the size of the team that's available must fluctuate depending on who's logged on at the time.
Likewise the decision to move to the niche sites - that's done by the editors and some sites are more popular than others, so naturally it's going to take longer for some than others.

I've just received an email for the first time telling me one of my older articles is "incomplete or Poorly Structured". I believe this article was previously featured, as almost all of my articles are. It was old and had some issues so that's not really the problem here. What I don't...

I'm thinking new hubs get looked at right away by the moderators.Whereas the reworked hubs will sit until a moderator stumbles upon them.Or does the reworked hub get a priority over the "featured" hubs not yet on the niche sites.Sems the niche sites are the place to get too, not just a...

I'm starting to see AI-generated comments in the forum. This may well become the new normal, not just AI in submitted articles but also forum comments will become increasingly common.The comments don't have the colloquial feel and voice that people normally use in the forums. They have the detached...

Moderators with personal agendas are now determining "featured" status. Well maybe they are great and will elevate HP. But maybe their unfettered agendas will destroy HP. Management seems aloof. And that is OK. But what is now featured is clearly personal agenda oriented.Maybe I will...

It's really unfair to make hubs " UNFEATURED " just because that they wouldn't be getting SUFFICIENT search traffic.. I have edited like 3 hubs to make them go back to their " Featured " status but again, the moderators have kept them unfeatured. They have added a note saying...
