I find the moderation system very good, how they need to be approved to be moved to the main headline news forum.

It's more or less fine at the moment. My only point is that there are perhaps too many articles; some of them don't seem like they are newsworthy, they don't trigger any reaction or response from the community.

[Dr.Jack]

Thanks for all the answers guys! Actually a few of the answers were a bit surprising. That's good, now we know what to change and what to improve.

> Congrats on getting mod btw

Thanks, however please know that I'm not a moderator. My position is 'News Poster'. In other words I have moderating powers in the Headline Forum but I'm not part of the staff.

Now guys, let's see more answers. :shades:

Having moderating powers = Mod.
Doesn't matter where.

Having moderating powers everywhere = SuperMod.

 

[Dr.Jack]

Not exactly I believe. Mods have authority, they can speak for the staff. Also, (I assume) they take part of the staff's decisions.

But let's bring the thread back on topic.

What do you call someone with moderating powers in that case?

But let's bring the thread back on topic.

Sure thing.

Which results surprised you?

I believe I'm the only one at the site. So, Dr.Jack?

Which results surprised you?

I was surprised to see how funny/odd news are popular, really encourages me to keep posting them! Also the amount of people who seem to lurk in the News Forum is much higher than I thought it would. Good to know!

Great answers guys, keep them coming!

Keep posting them by all means, but please don't prioritise them over other articles

Although Odd/Funny news is the most popular, keep posting the serious stuff.
I'm sure many members like to know what's going on
This is just some random reply I wrote just to not make this entire post off-topic. =]

I very much enjoy the Sci Fi stuff. New technology is always cool to hear about.

I still remember reading an article on the Segway. Now I'm actually seeing them in college. ^^

He's a Super Mod. (I think) We're referring to people who only moderate a single section

As do I. Science and Technology is really important to me
