Recently I had a claim be denied by the updaters despite there being a user of similar skill set (mostly writing for PTs, very rare to do graphics) get a related post approved. In fact, the post that was made was straight inspired by theirs, I even tagged them in my post! This, among other problems that I've seen infecting the VHL, has gotten me thinking about how unfair and downright rigged the system is against most users. If you're not friends with people that will push your updates through for you, despite a PT needing to be denied/edited/etc, then your post will be left to rot in the queue until someone with enough GUTS will decline it, usually on Sunday afternoon, so you don't have time to create a replacement for the TPE you expected to earn. I've even heard stories of "flagged" updates being approved by updaters that DO NOT have clearance to do so. When I was an updater, the flag means an updater thinks it demands the attention of the Head of PT, DaaD for me and v.2 for these noob updaters, to make a final decision on the post.
