does anyone else get frustrated with the voting system?

please note this isnt meant to sound bratty or anything and i apologize if it sounds that way lol

does anyone else get frustrated with the voting system? i feel like it doesn't really do anything. it honestly sucks when new patterns are uploaded, but so many other patterns with a lot of votes get ignored. my main point is that i would rather some patterns just get not approved instead of being stuck in pending limbo.

@Longfurby666: ikr. people can just swap colors in drip or triangle patterns instead. all those simple ones clog the voting page and all the original new patterns get pushed back :/

@allybattery: but that would kinda defeat the purpose. the point of the voting system is to see which patterns are "worthy" of being published, and clearly its flawed because said patterns get swept under the rug.

hot take, but i dont see the need for the voting system. i believe it'd be more efficient to have patterns manually approved by the admins. you submit a pattern, its moderated to make sure it meets proper criteria, and if it does, it'll be published. there'd still be a pending stage whilst the admins have yet to review your pattern, but it'd never get stuck in limbo.

in theory, this should lead to less dupes and a wider range of patterns for all users on the site. even if the pattern wouldn't have been popular in the voting stage, theres surely an audience for it and now they can access it much easier.
