Out of curiousity - are there specific areas of responsibility for each of the moderators?
For example - Does Sludge monitor the General slugging topics, Bob the afternoon slug lines, GetMeHomePweeze the morning slug lines, etc...? Or, do they take turns on a daily basis monitoring the entire site? or is it more informal, i.e., they all monitor all of the topics? Reason I ask is that I note that sometimes they'll post responses and leave spam (like this AM when Sludge posted a reply at 5:50ish in the general topics, but left spam from last night in other areas). Not a criticism, just an observation. |

Any why was the whole site locked up because one moderator wouldn't be available until Thursday?

To be honest, I really havent been active in the boards lately, so I cannot take credit for any cleanup that has been done. On the other hand do not agree with the choice to lock the boards because there would not be sufficient monitoring, though I am not aware of how bad the spam situation is.

DC2RV,
I only delete the spam ads for such things as online pharmacies, cell phone parts, investment offers, etc. from any topic area whenever I see them and have the time. Never anyone's opinions, complaints, recommendations, or slugging information posts. Earlier this morning, I didn't have time to delete the spam (I had to get on the road to work.) [:)] I think almost all the other moderators do the same. I've never met them or discussed moderator responsibilities with them. They do their own thing in their own way. By the way, I never asked anyone to be a moderator. I opened this website one day and saw that I was listed as one. WOW! What a responsibility! [;)] |

So who decides to lock the forums for 3 days?
I note that 2 comments were posted since last Friday (both by moderators), yet all forums were locked from Friday AM to this AM. |

I decide because I am the one who spends the most time keeping the junk off this site. Anyone wanting to volunteer at least an hour a week is welcome to step up. Otherwise, weekends are closed. Blame the troll.

I see that "The Decider" has used his veto authority and deleted a post from NoSUV which HE felt was (irrevelent) SPAM.
Not kewl. |
