That^ lol.
The ratio of mods to users, if I had to guess, just based on the number of threads and people online at any point in time, would be about 1:1500. We do have our work cut out for us, though I feel we are most definitely on top of it.
We have a moderation page where we can see each and every report, and we act upon them there without needing to go to the thread except in some circumstances. That being said, if we mark the report as "post OK" then you won't see any action or receive any email. Also, if we close or edit a thread, the system no longer automatically posts a message in that thread as it did in the previous forum version - "this thread has been closed by: Apanzee." So you will therefor not receive any notification of that, either.
Also, there has been an absolutely ridiculous amount of spam coming from China as of late. In fact I banned 40+ users within an hour just a few days ago because they were all affiliated with one another. One would post a fake question, another would post crapware, and another would post saying how much the crapware given helped them in the past. Researching user history and analyzing post statistics can take a bit of time to ensure we are not banning a legitimate, misguided user by mistake.
One final note, is that we as mods, have the right to use our own discretion when moderating the forums. Some mods may disagree with each other, in fact it happens more than you'd think. Though it's an unwritten rule that we do not over rule any decision made by another mod. Therefor, if one mod reviews a report and takes a particular action, but another disagrees, it will be brought before the moderator community in the admin forums until we reach consensus. At the point of consensus, we will review the previous actions and go from there. That can take a couple days sometimes.
What are some examples of things you think we need to work on, Stealth?
