LOL, I have to clarify something in light of what DF posted…
When the “Report to Moderator” button is pushed, ALL Mods get the notice by e-mail. The first one of us online once such a report is sent is the one who will usually make the initial judgment and take any immediate action needed (lock a thread, delete or edit a post). Or, if they are unsure, they will post their thoughts for other Mods to review and we get some consensus on such things.
“Report to moderator” brings ALL of us in.
Other mods read some of the threads that interested them, or that they were active in. Others, as DF posted, would scan looking for obvious issues.
I did however try to read each and every post (which is why it ate up so much of my time). And the fact that i DID make that investment of time into all of that reading is why I also posted a LOT of replies… that was the “return on my investment” of time.
If and/or when GD and/or PD are reopened, I will NOT resume reading every single thread. This week has actually been very nice. I have been able to focus on my game, and I PLAY BETTER when I am thinking about my game instead of the other stuff on the site.
And for me, the timing could not have been better coming into the Fall 2-on-2 Tournament, and with me cracking 10 League wins with only 4 months to go in this year’s League :-D
