Moderators?

[The_Traveler]

It seems that most of the Moderators are no longer actively here.
Overread is the only constant presence, Pixmedic, Manaheim and Mishele make themselves visible on and off while Big Mike, Terri and others are essentially no shows.

Is it that, by the time someone gets trusted enough, they are on th downward slope of commitment?

 

[pixmedic]

ouch man. harshin my mellow.
what isn't getting done that you think should be around here?
Am i not commenting enough? not deleting enough spam?
not banning enough people?
how much should a moderator be on to make you happy?

 

[runnah]

I am here all the time.

Some mods turn off the 'member online' notification and stealthily scan the forum.

I like to let the proletariats know that the law is watching.

People come and go, that is the nature of forums. Life sometimes throws up things we don't expect which get in the way.

This is why we generally operate a slightly larger team than we need day to day, so that any mods who do end up slipping away or get a busy patch can be covered for.


Mods all get emails when things get reported so even if they are not online they still get notified of things happening on the site and the mod tools we have mean that removing spam or suspect members takes only a few moments - especially if the users of the site use the report feature to flag things for moderators. That isn't mods being lazy, its simply that we can't view everything every hour of the day.

Every so often we do review how many mods we do have and add a few as we need. At present we haven't felt a need to increase the number of moderators since we have not noticed any great increase in site disruption nor spam.

Like having a policeman live on my street, it makes me feel secure when I know you are watching over us, protecting us lambs from the wolves.

[runnah]

Ouch! How much more time should I spend here?

You can't make everyone happy.

The "problem" is easy to solve. Let's have a thread about any hot button and I trust all the non-comatose moderators will reveal themselves pronto. Not to mention, probably ban the offender forthwith.
