There is only a very small number of users who actual actively look at the review queues. What I see happening is this: - User posts question - User does not read the notice about how there is a wait before the question appears - Question does not appear on main site - User posts the same question again - Question still doesn't appear - wtf is this shit? And dissapears never to be seen again - Now there are two questions that need approval in the queue - Very few people actually check the queue and it takes 4-5 hours for questions to be approved - Questions come through in huge lumps as the last vote required for approval comes through - The front page of the site is unchanged except for when 30 questions get dumped all at once - There is no public review process of questions that were rejected - e.g. when a question is posted and then closed, people can see the closed questions and vote to re-open, or post a meta thread - if a question was never even posted, then there can be no wider community involvement in disagreeing with the actions I don't think this is a very good idea. Really, closing the stuff that would not have been approved in the first place isn't a huge amount of work, and not *that* much spam gets through and is easily dealt with.
