I thought it time for a moderation update.
Several weeks on from the last kerfuffle, all appears to be well.
I'm the only one moderating, and have had almost nothing to do, except attend to requests.
I use 3 usernames. Mine, Orbitalnuke, which is my moderator level access, and Forum_scout, which is my member level access. I keep the last 2 because when I change things, I need to check what everyone else sees, because my own access sees everything.
At the moment, the policy of splitting off derails and hijacks of threads seems to be working, with the people who used to do it not posting much now, or at all. All in all, the policy seems to be acting as a preventative.
We have 1 member on Moderator Review, who seems to have gone into a self-imposed silence as a result.
The result, admittedly with nothing much happening lately likely to cause arguments, is a smoothly purring forum which doesn't need any extra moderators. Consequently, I'm not looking for any at the moment. Subject to review in the future.
I'd like to say
to everyone for making this forum so easy to administer.
