Fixing the way that we see threads waiting to be approved would help.

It would make sure threads waiting for approval had a higher chance of being seen quickly, and would give more basis for discussion on whether something goes against the rules or needs to be dealt with. The only issue would be finding people that wouldn't abuse the power, but that's the issue with finding any mod.

There are two mods, but honestly, when this site was started....none of us wanted anything to do with a politics forum. Finally, Justin gave it to LJ and let him do with it as he sees best. If LJ or ptown weren't there, that thing would be gone in a heartbeat. I want no part of that retarded thread shitting.

Technically, anyone who is listed as a Super Moderator is able to moderate within the politics forum.

Gotcha. That's normal for most forums that aren't based in politics, I suppose.

I'll help mod the Politics forum. It's not the big pain in the ass everyone that doesn't post there thinks it is.

i typically deal with maybe 3-4 posts that have to be unapproved during a week. 95% of the time that poster will PM me back and be like "yeah, got a little heated, my bad'
