It was better to send a PM rather than opening a thread for potential spams.

Potential spam? We should conduct the entire forum in PMs then, by your logic...? I created a thread because a) it seems like this would be better to be stated in the public domain and b) there is potential for discourse.

I believe some more would be very beneficial, or at least some new moderators for some of the sections that aren't moderated. Reports can take quite a while to get handled in certain sections and this gets worse on the weekends (understandably) with reports often going unhandled over it. I would say promote some of the more active mods who handle the most reports though take my bias into consideration seeing as I would fall into that criteria (though I think it would be logical to promote the most active mods). You can get a rough estimate of the most active staff from the mod payments so it can be based on evidence and theymos will have access to further stats. As for new moderators I would like to see the updated reports table. I think people like shorena will be up at the top and would make good mods as they seem to know the rules and are very active which are the two main criteria.

Hmm, indeed. Section-specific mods could also help to alleviate the problem (Technical Support and Project Development spring to mind as the main un-modded sections), but there aren't too many unmodded sections so it would seem just one or two more Global Mods would result in a similar fix. Of course timezones are important too.

And of course, that would be the logical way to choose a new Global Mod. A new goodReports table could be interesting. I'd be on it if it was made with the same amount of people as before I believe, but not close to the top. (I only have 306 * 0.96 = ~294 good reports, I groom my accuracy more than my report count Wink

)
