Attention all IPS members, this is a public service announcement: May I ask y'all to be a bit more proactive in downvoting stuff if you vote to delete something that's still at a positive score in the review queue? :) We're getting quite a few autoflags saying the post has delete votes but a positive score, and when I look some have 6 delete votes, 1 downvote and three upvotes or something... If people downvoted a tad more there'd be less work for us mods (and we're naturally lazy so...)

Additional Pro Tempore Moderator Needed! - Accepting Nominations

I read that article too, someone linked it to me. And I understand how frustrating things are if you're not on the moderating side of things. I got fed up here too, until I noticed how much has been done (and is still going on) that mods can't tell directly about...

I think the only thing we can/are technically allowed to say, is that we've taken action (and are regularly doing so) several times a week...

Also, like people told you, please, please don't get the impression we're telling you to do nothing and just suck it up, like the quote from your article. We're asking you to flag. I'm s…

An englishman, a frenchman, a spanish guy and a german are watching a street performer do some juggling. The juggler notices that they have amiserable view to see him. So, he stands up on a wooden box and ask them :"Can you all see me now ?"
"Yes"
"Oui"
"Si"
"Ja"

I'm doing slightly better than Ash here and will try to continue, but yeah, folks, please be respectful of the fact that a lot of the people who are saying there are problems here face exactly these kinds of problems all over the place, and having to start from scratch here and argue and argue just to establish that maybe there's an issue... it's exhausting, it would be lovely if it could be more "help me understand the problem, how can we help?" and less "maybe you're wrong."

Quick PSA... if you are flagging answers as NAA, feel free to / please also downvote them - users with delete privileges can't use them unless the answer is negatively scored. (If they're not answering the question, that means they're also "not useful"!)
