Camera stability patch fixes the lag issue several owners reported.

5 hours agoComments and videos post immediately — only ones an automatic check flags as spam, a bot, or abusive land here. Approving or rejecting is real: it changes what everyone else sees. There’s no real staff-only login in this prototype though (that needs the same per-person accounts the rest of the site doesn’t have yet), so this page works for anyone who opens this link. It’s not linked from anywhere a regular visitor would end up.
Flagged for review
Everything else already went live on its own. Honest negative feedback about a product isn’t flagged — only spam, bot-like posts, and rude or abusive language are.
