I know I mostly sit on the sidelines and observe these days but the principle issue here is exactly the same as when I was part of the crew and I still think it needs some serious attention. The answer absolutely isn't to single one photographer out (whoever it may be) and tell them they're "consuming a lot of screener resources". That simply isn't on. The huge queue is a result of JP being a massively successful site, not just one person uploading what may be perceived by some to be too much. The way the queue is managed hasn't changed since I first started uploading (or trying to upload) here back in 2005, and it just isn't adequate to keep the site flowing with the volume of traffic it now handles, and as we've seen over the last few years the queue goes up, not down.
When the crew say the more they screen the more gets uploaded they're absolutely right; that's not an excuse or a myth, it's absolutely 100% true. As soon as people see the queue drop by 3-4 thousand after a queue dive they upload to take advantage of the quicker screening times, and in my time here as part of the screening team I saw it happen several times. That brings the queue right back to where it started, and that being the case there's only one logical answer in my mind and that's to restructure the queue limits. I can't see any other way the queue can be made more manageable.
