And in Japan it's 3-4am. 
Forgive our belated reply but we all try to cover all time-zone, in such a large website called PA.

Well, the system appeared to work just fine, the issue was solved within 15 minutes of me raising the red flag. Now I know what to do, but at the time it was close to midnight, I was tired and shouting out for help here seemed like the best option. But hey, now I know some moderators so that's good, right?

yep... they were classics... they knew when and when not to get involved... most of the time they just sent you half ass threatening PM's which you promptly ignored and threw into the trash because you knew they were enjoying the mayhem you were inflicting just as much as one enjoyed inflicting it on the forum...

^ One thing that the Golden-Age Admins (aka Mickey's Nemeses) did well was Moderation in moderation. All Admins since then learnt a lot from those guys.

^Sounds like a reasonable process to me. I've been a member for several years now and this is the first time I've been party to such a need. For my two cents worth, it works very well.

I have been all over the FAQs and can't figure out how to contact a moderator. thanks. |
The simplest way is to use the "Report Post" option from the "Post Options" menu. That report gets emailed to all the Admins simultaneously.

It's not harder to delete posts, it's a piece of piss. Hell, I once inadvertently deleted the entire Official Porkypine Tree Appreciation thread with a single click. The problem with delete is there isn't an undelete button whereas with hide there is an unhide button.
When an issue arises whichever Admin that is online at the time will act quickly to quell the situation. Usually this is a case of shoot first and ask questions afterwards because when there are several people involved the rapidity of posts can to get out of hand very quickly. Since the admin will want to allow his fellow admins the chance to view the evidence when they are next online then the offending posts will initially just be hidden. After reviewing the hidden posts and discussing it between them they will then decide whether the posts could be un-hidden or deleted and then decide what other action is needed.

Not surprised at all about the hidden posts. In fact, I saw it coming, as Micky can confirm. I am glad I have no children, because the Internet would make my role as a parent even harder than it normally is.

yeah... good move everyone. Reporting it and hiding it. I wasn't sure how to respond to that.. other than spit what I was drinking upon my monitor. As I said Alan... used to be.. old Micky would have torn him apart. I've gotten old I suppose... mellowed.

The ones that were hidden were full of unnecessary sexual innuendo. I think PA mostly looks through it's fingers when these occur, but when they're directed at a 13 year old girl we tend to follow the guidelines to the t.
