FWIW my understanding is that TLF boards are moderated by particular moderators. Can you confirm this is the case, rather than on a rotating basis? Also, if it is the case, can you please provide us with a list of which TLF moderators moderate which boards. So that all users of TLF are aware.

TIA

To answer that would be in breach of the site rules...
Public discussion of moderation policies is not permitted, but users can query specific individual moderation decisions in Room 101. Response from Admins will be final.

I strongly suspect that it would only aid those that seek to discredit particular moderators.

Surely only effective if such evidence existed?

BTW. I assume we can take it as read that moderators attempting to discredit particular posters is permitted, under TLF rules? ;)

The moderation of boards is shared between moderators, all have multiple boards to moderate, there is some overlap. The admins have moderation rights to all boards.

According to the "Board Moderators" button at the bottom of the TLF home page, there are 11 moderators. Of those it looks to me like 3 of them are inactive or barely active. So that is quite a lot of boards for each moderator! And to provide anything approaching round-the-clock moderation there would have to be at least 2/3 moderators with rights on each board.

So, this is a way of saying thank you to those of you have been doing this for approaching 7 years now, which I feel sure is also the OP's intention.
