I am pleased to announce the following changes with respect to the forum moderation team, effective immediately:
(1) Vilnoia1 is being appointed as a Global Mod, effective immediately.
(2) While Eluvatar and I continue to evaluate who might be added as an Admin for these forums, flemingovia has offered to return temporarily as an Admin.
(3) I'm now making the following a board policy: With three different people having Admin access, it's difficult, if not impossible to know what requests have or have not been seen, much less addressed without a consistent method to keep track. It's a problem because some of you seem to assume that Admin have nothing better to do than to look at every thread on the forums every minute of the day and night, and that is assuredly not the case.
So, all requests of Admin need to be made in one of two ways: First, by a PM sent to the three of us ([me], Eluvatar, and flemingovia) or second, by a post in the Moderation Discussion subforum or Moderation HQ subforum (this area is only seen by those with moderation powers in their account maskings) in the Technology area. Do not expect us to see such requests anywhere else. One of us might, and might choose to respond, but there is no guarantee of it being seen or being addressed. Unless PMs have been sent, or requests made in the technology area per the above, there is no assurance it will be seen.
Moderation issues should be posted, per posted policy, in the Moderation HQ or Moderation Discussion areas so all Admin and Global Mods can see them. If something urgent is happening, file a report, or send a PM to all Global Mods and Admin. I think you'll find someone will respond more quickly if this is done.
Thank you.
