shaliron i actually agree with you that at least 1 or maybe even 2 extra moderators are needed,not only for the incident from yesterday which i would define as a misunderstanding, but in general for a moderator to be available to react quickly to the reasons you mentioned.

there should be a 'report abuse' sub-fora
where people can report wrong/bad posts/topics/users
those reports should only be visable to moderators
that way every user can report abuse or disbihaved users to moderators

The current team do do a sterling job, but perhaps could do with one or two more moderators just to help them out, as people like Masseur can't be online 24/7, and have their own lives to lead outside of this forum. I now usually PM a mod if I see any spam/scam threads, they usually get removed but as others have said there has been sometimes a delay when they have been offline and somewhere in the real world.
As for who though I don't know!

I say we all just need to learn how to appreciate jokes and be more tolerant even if we chance upon bad jokes. Esato's fine the way it is. Sure, a couple more mods wouldn't hurt, but I don't think there's a dire need to have them. |

Well it wasn't the joke specifically, but it also has to do with Esato's reputation, because those who don't see it as a joke will not trust the news from Esato as reliable anymore.
But the main reason is really that it wouldn't hurt to have more than one moderator for this relatively large forum. Eg. Se-nse has many more moderators than Esato, even though it is smaller.
Having one or two more moderators can guarantee that there will be at least one moderator on at all times to monitor the forums. I don't see any reason not to; it's not like we're asking for a whole new team of ten

there should be a couple mods, mainly due to the time differences of all the members.
Those in Europe/UK, would be sleeping now, and if Masseur was still in London, he wouldnt be awake to moderate the forum....
I think it would be a good idea to choose some one from other parts of the world, eg Australia, where people are wide awake, to moderate in place of the mods who are sleeping overseas and cannot be online to carry out there mod duties....

Hmm... In that case, I have to agree that it's a good idea to have a couple more mods to ease the workload as well as to have someone monitoring the forums all day.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. |

I can't be held responsible for how individual people think,i do admit i underestimated the affect this would have but i really did think that nearlly everyone would see that as a Joke as it was so clearly obvious.That joke was never intended as "News",although i admit my role is associated with bringing news and people do trust my word,but most esato members clearly know that the majority of News is posted in the Official News Section and linked to the forum,only smaller less important bits of news is posted directly in the forums,something as big a  announcement always gets maximum exposure in both the News Section and the discussion forum.
I personally don't think or believe that one fake press release which was a joke, and which everyone knows about now will affect esato as a reliable source of news in anyway.

This reminds me several situations trying to "improve" Esato. IMHO Esato is unique as it is, more tech than chat, quite serious (not reaching a nerd state  ), and a mature free space for everyone.
M Xmas to all

No need for anymore mods i think, Esato is fine as it is.
The Mods present are sufficient and do a grand job here

I really do think we need another new mod here who can ease the work load for masseur.
