How long a lag between post violation report and mod action?
If there is already a description with regard to the time required for follow up, please direct me to that passage in the rules, by hopefully publishing the URL in this thread that links to it, and maybe quoting the appropriate paragraph. Thanks.
I know it's Christmas, so maybe the lag is even laggier.

"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master."
I believe spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline) manifests as bravery, confidence, grace, honesty, love, and inner peace.

Thanks, Scott.Scott wrote:The moderators are all volunteers. How long it takes depends on the volume of rule-breaking posts and posts awaiting volume versus what availability the volunteer moderators have to generously offer. I'm sorry for any wait.
Does the same rule apply to reviews of proposed new topics?
If yes, how does a forum user distinguish between knowing his proposal for a forum topic has been rejected, or else knowing that it just hasn't been looked at?
I hate being in limbo. If I am not notified of having proposed topics rejected, then I stay in limbo. It's like being in purgatory forever, because there had been a reorg and your existence there had been forgotten.

@Renee An email should be sent out to you when your topic is approved or disapproved. If disapproved, a reason should be given in the email.Renee wrote:Thanks, Scott.Scott wrote:The moderators are all volunteers.

Re: How long a lag between post violation report and mod act
I gave up sending out the emails, Scott. Too many people were hassling me and it was quadrupling the workload. If people are interested in more than their own words then they will check back in and find out if their posts have been approved then.Scott wrote:@Renee An email should be sent out to you when your topic is approved or disapproved.

Of course, if Renee or others have an interest in paying me, say, $800 a week for mod services, I will provide a much more prompt and professional service :)

I think there is a checkbox to override the automatic sending of email notifications if that's what you mean.

Yes, I started unchecking the box as a survival measure :)Scott wrote:@Greta I'm not sure what you mean about giving up on sending the emails. The emails should be sent automatically, no?
