    Mainstream Business Boards Owners Are Crazy...

    Moderating new posts and threads 24/7 :eek:

    I couldnt imagine anyone wanting to stick around and post if every single thread/post had to be moderated before it was made viewable i mean, thats the whole purpose of a message board, to make the information being shared available asap.

    Do any of you folks post on board where your threads and posts have to be 'approved' by a moderator or board owner before they are shown?

    Regards,

    It depends. If it's a high traffic board with a dozen or more moderators spread across timezones, then moderation would be near instantaneous.

    Board spamming is getting to be a big problem, and trolls likewise, so I can see how, if you have the resources (moderators) to do it on a busy board, it makes the experience for the participants more pleasant.

    But for a board like this, it's probably not needed.

    Political boards are even worse. I mod a political board - man that sucks some days.

    You really see american nastiness in political boards.

    I was always told when i started out in this industry that there were 3 things that should never be discussed on a message board...

    1) Religion
    2) Politics
    3) Race

    I must admit, GWW seems to be one of the only places in the industry where i have never seen its community members getting out of control when it comes to these 3 topics.
