Some mods may not be familiar with many topics about mining, trading, hardware, selling, Altcoin, and others.
What kind of topics were you specifically thinking about? I mean, I don't know much about most altcoins (other than the fact that most of them are a scam), but I can still tell when a thread doesn't belong in that section or when someone is posting spam just for a bounty campaign. Does a mod really need to have an indepth knowledge about a lot of alts to be able to effectively moderate that section?
If something is false and the mod doesn't know if it is false or not then it may be helpful to have someone who does but I don't know how this functions
Given that scams aren't moderated, are mods often moderating inaccurate information? I've certainly seen tons of post with either inaccurate or outright false information in a variety of boards that don't get deleted. I've always felt that it's better to make a post correcting the mistake so other people can learn from the thread too.
