Now that the reporting system has been added. I’m hoping that we can implement a live update system. The way I see it if a homebrew item is already live, the author should be able to update his/her homebrew without approval up to a maximum of 50 characters, after which the item would need approval. If someone puts something nefarious up it will be reported by users and taken down. This would seriously help the mod team with their long approval lists and also help authors with fixing small balance and grammar problems without having to wait 2 weeks for approval only to find a new problem and need to wait another 2 weeks longer. Live updates would be awesome!!!
Actually, you could go one step further and entirely do away with the approval process. Reporting content would then become the normal means of eliminating content that violates standards. This would reduce the workload of mods massively since they only have to involve themselves when necessary, rather than with every, single, submitted homebrew.
Probably won't happen, though, given DDB is probably liable for anything that gets published, irrespective of whether they published it or not.
