Australian Politics Forum - A quick question regarding the Mod of this forum

Lisa Jones Gold Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 39047 Sydney Gender:	A quick question regarding the Mod of this forum Feb 22^nd, 2011 at 12:07pm Umm WTF are they? They've not been online for almost a year. It seems strange that this very HOT section of this MB has been "running" on auto pilot for so long. Regards Lisa

All these awesome guidelines at the front door of this very HOT section of Oz Politic .. LOOK great .. but they may as well not be there at all if no one is in here moderating and ensuring that all participants of this forum are abiding by them.

It certainly seems strange that nothing has been done to address this after such a long time.

I wonder what/if any policy is in place regarding this?

Anyone know?

Some of these sub-forums are moderated by older, long term members and it doesn't seem to present a problem when they're absent for a while.

The global moderators can keep an eye on things while they're away - the chances are they'll return eventually.

Aussie Nationalist came back just recently after a long absence - Dilligaf is his new nick - so unless there's a serious issue there's no urgency to appoint someone else.

That's only my opinion.

Thanks Mantra. As usual .. you're awesome.

I've noticed a few "strange anomalies" lately.

No biggie really.
