I am not exaggerating with the time! I checked the date and it was definitely 7-8 days, but again, I can't remember exactly which ones it was. And actually, the 1 of the 5 most recent ones that has the name on is from Martin :).

maybe there was nothing wrong with the post you should read the rules again cause they changed a lot lol x

Just to back up Mr-Trainor, I have had some reports a few weeks back that did take a number of days to clear, but recently it's been fine.

Also I'd totally recommend making Bolt660 a permanent super mod...

and in terms of the comment thing, I haven't been instructed what comments to leave etc, however I will be sure to put my name on them if I deal with them from now on! :P Luckily you only have to put up with me for a few weeks until matts is back then im being demoted again :P

You're one does have a name on it :D. '
Sorted, cheers luke! :) - Martin' and that's in the middle of the other ones just saying 'cheers' :P. So these 'cheers' ones that haven't been dealt with without explanation are recent, whereas the 8 day gap was before you became acting SMOD - I have so much going on irl atm that I can't remember exactly when it was, but like I said above, I'm not exaggerating and I did check the date :P.

Theres no favouritism going on.

I assume this is Martin as he's done the majority of reports.

If we're on about Bolt660 not putting his name on the end of reports, he did for my ones, but not for my latest two, so either he forgot, or it's someone else :P

Yeah it was before Martin was moved in to his current role :).

Seems to me like it's you that has this 'vendetta against someone'. Ever since you basically pretended to be on my side, only to turn everything around on me, you've just been rude to me whenever I post. I think I can tell what is pointless and what is not, I've run a forum myself before.

Thought it might have been. It's been an issue for a while to be honest and I recently cracked down on it because it was starting to take the piss. Nothing should be left over 24 hours ideally.

All I can say Lukey is that we all make mistakes, and sometimes the pointless rule can go either way, since its not like the filter rule etc where there is a definite line. Sometimes what seems pointless to one person may mean something to someone else, or they may see it as contributing something etc. I think if you do see that your report hasnt been dealt with how you wished, then the best thing to do would be to send a private message to Chris and he can take a look over it and if needed contact us and we can make the change and deal with the post.

I'm sure you can appreciate when you have several post reports on the go, and when you are dealing with the report to smod thread too (which I like to deal with as soon as its posted in these days), then it can be a bit of a rush, especially when you suddenly get some beastly dvd spambots coming on the scene too and you have to move all those posts out and ban them and do the ban report etcetc.

I do try my hardest to ensure post reports are done in a quick fashion, but sometimes things do unfortunately get missed. I think so long as these issues arent serious then a simple PM would sort it out.

I think with this new report system, it has become obvious to people that reports were taking an awful long time to be sorted. Even as a mod, I was reporting posts in other sections that I didnt moderate, and they were taking days to be closed occasionally, same with reports to smods. I personally think that even for minor issues, nothing should be left more than 24 hours and when it is then there is a serious problem that needs addressing. Personally I don't see any large issues with moderation at the moment, but as I stated at the beginning, mistakes will occasionally happen, and you may occasionally be unhappy with the outcome of something and then a simple PM will clear things up im sure. xD

I think forum moderation has become sloppy and I agree with Martin being a permanent smod - he's good at what he does.

I'm glad to hear the times will be improving :). @Bolt660; I see what you mean with the pointless posting rule, but one of the posts I reported just seemed very obvious that it was pointless and there was no explanation of why :P.

Couldn't agree more :D. I'm assuming there just isn't space at the moment, but hopefully it won't be too long :).

"Isn't space?", I was unaware that there was a limit on the super MODs we could have...

How many do we even have? I'm thinking it's two since Jordan left? If that's right, then Martin would just become the 3rd wouldn't he?
