Moderation tools + contests moderated

Written by steet :



 I have made many modifications to all the fan sections, in order to "harmonize" them (they have all been created at different times of the life of the site(s), so they were not created the same way)
This means that you can now see the status of what you send, on the send page (just like the fanarts and fan images)
Also, the moderators now have better moderation tools, with something which displays a marker when there are new things to moderate.

For this reason, there may be many bugs on the fan sections - I didn't have time to test everything, so if something seems not to work correctly : contact me!
(To Mods => forget the old administration pages, now use only the pages provided in the "Moderation panel")

Also, another change is that the projects and contests now need to be validated before they can be send on the site (just like the other fan sections)
I think there were way too many contests that were "not serious" enough to be there. I have added a rule which clearly says that only serious projects/contests will be accepted now.
I request that the mods be strict on this section, because members create way too many projects/contests and hope that the other members will do all the work for them. (easy to identify this kind of contests : usually there is only one line of description badly written)
The creator of the project can now also participate by sending files (this wasn't possible before, but I think it should be, so that the creator can show examples of what he's looking for, or just for participating to the project too)
I will also remove the display of the contests which deadline has been reached (with more or less 3 months, to give the time needed for possible awards), and require a deadline for all projects so that they won't stay forever even when finished.

That's all for now! I'm trying to make the site code clean for, well, new arrivals? :)

Steet, I hope its not a problem, but I was thinking it would be nice to have a note or whater you would call it, next to the moderator tasks. Like for the reports do. Example: Reports(1) Why not do that for the video's, fanart etc?

Oh thank you so much, Steet! I was having such a hard time trying to get rid of those blasted old contests and sift through the badly made ones. This makes everything so much easier! *bounces excitedly* Everything's all fixed now and all of the badly made contests that had gotten through have been deactivated. w00t!

Ginga: I fixed it all now, thanks to the new control panel.

Wonderful new system Steet. It should help the contest sections clear out a lot.
