I would say a few boards are managed by Global mods(Bitcoin Discussion, Marketplace).
Does rank really make a difference here when it comes to reporting? I can only see this happening, when newbies are required to be nuked(which all staff can do), and normal can't ban Jr. Members and above.
Other moderators can only handle reports on the boards they are assigned to unless it is a newbie. So if the moderator of a particular board isn't around Jr. Member and above posts can only be handled by one of the global mods.
There's been no dedicated mod of big boards like Bitcoin Discussion for years and that certainly could do with it's own one. The alt coin section is getting swamped now and mprep was always overloaded as it's a huge board, but now that section is getting worse since he become a Global and doesn't have enough time to dedicate to it.
Thanks for explaining this. I see now that it is not more global mods that are required but mods need to be assigned to some of the more spam inflicted boards that only either yourself or mprep can currently deal with.
