It’s pointless talking to this Mod. He’s single handedly made this entire site redundant. And for all the nonsense about ensuring non-trollish comments, Mod publishes a lot of trollish comments and then redacts them when people report. Or even worse, he won’t publish them at all even if they are non-trollish/in response to a troll. Point being, the Mod is horrible and the site should just be shut down. Hardly any comments these days are informative or useful.
I think you should choose the latter one for the time being. It will make more sense , for the regulars to log in anonymously. Newbies will still be getting advice, you are cutting some lifeline which turn the arena of giving advice into a blind spot.
Thanks all for your feedback, we appreciate that moderation is an issue. Currently part of the problem is identifying reliable moderators, since moderation is not easy and getting it right anonymously is even harder.
One option that would make moderation easier is to give certain additional posting privileges to logged in accounts (without an email address) and with a good posting history, but that would not necessarily help newbies who are asking for advice, and we're not sure if most of the regulars would be willing to log in anonymously to post?
Haan. It’s very easy to say this when you are not confused with your choices. Some people here are in genuine need of advice for their careers , colleges , jobs etc. And it’s not like we are asking the mod to deliver the content within minutes. Take time , but at least have a time cutoff of 8-9 hours. This site is slow as hell
Material loses relevance for those who have the attention span of a goldfish. Once every 24 hours for a free site isn't bad at all, given the amount of anon garbage that the moderator must have to filter before allowing the post.
Friend, you might as well be talking to a wall. Not only is the moderator an intolerant woke who will ban/flag any comment that does not conform to his worldview, but he is also quite lethargic and takes a long time to publish comments.
It’s very unfortunate that Kian has handed over the site to such a person. Kian was prompt and also a proper liberal, in the sense of someone who believes in the marketplace of ideas.
The least you could do is respond with LI's stance.
Don't make excuses of funds and privacy concern since the volunteers are ready to share their original identity and work for free (from previous threads).
I know you are a great soul working tirelessly to the infinite bounds of our world’s vast ocean to moderate our comments. I am really not trolling here. But maybe start hiring two or three more moderators? It won’t hurt much to see our comments getting moderated in 4-5 hours instead of waiting a whole long day. I hope you are open to genuine criticism and not mark this trollish as you are doing in majority of threads nowadays.

What do you think?
