@sscluck and I were discussing an idea:

What if we change the role of the moderator from event approval to event review.

So here's the potential new workflow of event creation
User submits event -> Event goes live ... Moderator sees event on Moderator View and may decline it

Event edit:
User submits edit -> Approval requested from event creator ... Moderator sees edit on Moderator View and may decline it

Advantages:
-Instantaneous event creation & editing
-Tool appears to be more democratic to the end user

@sscluck @MasterPie @byee01 @vwirantana @kggriswold

Disadvantages:
-Potential for abuse (But we can ban users if they abuse Teudu)

This is similar to the model that Wikipedia uses: Allow anyone to edit articles, then ban the spammers.
