    CUK - is this board moderated currently?

    I was going to say that this board looked as if it were not moderated at all. However, I did notice that Mark Snowdon had caught up with Great tool for sitebuilders / developers!
    at: 11/20/03 3:00 pm.

    Other than that, it only needs a few adverts for penis enlargement, viagra and millions of dollars sloshing about in Nigerian bank accounts to look like a fully-spammed email inbox. :rolleyes

    Is the pressure of Christmas catching up with moderators or has CUK moved the goalposts ?

    moderation

    Datestamp,

    Which posts are you concerned about ?

    Remember that you cannot see most of the posts/threads that get moderated because they have been removed.

    The moderators all operate on a voluntary basis and may have different policies and/or priorities.
    Also we dont neccessarily look in every day

    Anything considered to be offensive or blatant ads will generally be removed fairly rapidly. The exception is that the business forum is here to allow adverts. I did think of cutting the business oportunity one - and might yet - but I think it safe to say no one here takes such things seriously

    I do think xmas is having an effect and there are a couple of threads on the main forum that I find tasteless but I prefer to err on the side of less moderation.

    Mark

      The moderation is fine and should be left just the way it is.

      I wouldn't be entertained half so much if nothing got through.

      The moderator's do a good job stepping in when things start getting too OTT. Occasionally they go a little overboard (I think people could have their sigs back guys... ) but most of the time they're spot on.

                Thanks Mark - the moderators seem to be functioning ok now.

                Edited ->

                Oh and I was going to say that it would be a nice idea if new members could only start a new thread after their 10th or 15th post (which might deter a few of the random spam merchants) - but this probably wouldn't be possible under the ezboard scheme !

                  The other possible explanation is they are trying to encourage cc.net users over here by leaving exaggerated claims and filth un - moderated on the board. :lol

                  Seriously we need a few nigerian scams on the board or else what will AtW spend his pocket money on?

                  (I reckon Milan needs a holiday from being the Boards B*tch so AtW gets it. )

                    Have you noticed that Milan's been a bit po-faced lately?

                    Who's taken his sweeties off him?
