Fellow members,
You will notice that we have increased the size of the moderation team. Previously the team was comprised of 6 members and after KC resigned we were working with 5 moderators. We were able to do that for so long for various factors, such as daytime availability. Green Arrow has since been added to the team. We intend to add another.
We are all available at different times; we have brought on moderators who are able to help with daytime moderating during the week. Similarly, within the existing moderators there are several who are available most of the time on the weekends while others are not. We are trying to meet the needs of the membership.
Specifically, daytime moderating is a priority as it is a very active time with 40 or more members posting and we only had one moderator who was regularly available during that time. That is not only stressful on the moderator, but can mean issues go without resolution until more moderators come online after 5pm. We want to make sure that there is a daytime group of moderators in place who can provide more support and resolve issues quickly and efficiently.
In addition, we are trying to diversify. While our ideologies do not influence our actions, we felt that it would be beneficial to bring on new moderators who hold different/varying views.
Based on the above, the number of moderators is going to increase to 7.
