Currently the queue module just allows to decide between promoting a node to the homepage or unpublish it. Nodes with an amout of points between these two levels are kept in the queue.
Sites really sensitive about unpublishing contents but also very strict promoting content to the homepage may end up with a huge queue of nodes that obtained (for instance) a lot of votes "0".
In order to avoid this some parameters could be added to the current ones:
- Maximum number of votes (not points) to take a node out of the queue (i.e. when a node gets 10 votes without being promted nor unpublished, it goes out of the queue, being simply published but not in the homepage). This is useful for sites that have a well defined number of users with permissions to vote in the queue (i.e. an online magazine with 5 editors).
- Maximum number of days a node can be voted (i.e. if a node lasts 1 week in the queue withouth being promoted or unpublished, it goes out of the queue). This is useful for sites with users hat are not (yet) used to use the queue. Also useful to make sure that any node in the homepage is as fresh as you want (i.e. setting a 24h period to be promoted or not).

mcduarte2000 commentedPlease look at the comments above from qgil.
I also wish:
- A way for the node to besides being promoted to the front page, only be published after receiving a certain number of votes. Maybe it could be published after, let's say, 3 votes, and promoted after 8 votes. Currently as it is, even if the content is crap, it ends being published;
- Be able to not "unpublish" the content. I have a poetry site and it doesn't make sense for content to be unpublished after "too many" votes. The content should simple be able to stay on the site for the rest of it's history;
- Be able to give more voting power to certain users;
- Time limit the voting. If after a certain period of time the node is not published, then it should go away of the moderation queu (and also, not be published, or at least, exist an option for that).
