The Return of the Moderators …..

Late last night, tucked away on another thread (see https://www.key.aero/forum/historic-aviation/145771-metal-detector-find…), was the announcement from Peter that:

Just realized we can fully moderate again.. !!!!

Is it too much to hope that, finally, the tide is turning? And after so long an interregnum, I’d be grateful to know who the ‘we’ now comprises.

I have no idea how much moderators can do and what responsibilities they have but at least one thread on here, Brian’s Science Museum thread from 6 years ago, and two in the Forum Updates section have spam that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Apologies, Bruce. Is it just the two of you now?

No, I’m still here, but like the rest of you, infrequently these days!

In view of what Peter has said I wonder whether the title to this thread should be modified from the plural to the singular?

Next one is just above this, Peter, but it’s becoming an impossible task. Good luck and thanks.

I had a post removed within minutes the other day when I posted about Duxford and legends cancelled I had missed that someone else had posted, so if that is done that quick then the others pointed out could easily be removed, or is it bringing traffic through?

Vis à vis the post at 06:57, I think that it’s called taking the p##s!

avion: It’s sure that no-one is watching over this site, yet alone over the watchers.

I think they’re all at home on their laptops regularly earning $20,000+ dollars for 4 hours work. You can’t blame them really. After all, it’s much better than a 9 to 5 desk job. In fact, it’s quite awesome.

I think you’re making a safe assumption, AA. The forum has turned into a real mess. Bad enough if spammers open their own threads but to be allowed to hijack genuine threads and their posts to remain there for any length of time is shocking. It must be seriously off-putting to anybody newly considering joining an aviation forum.

I think you would be correct avion. Maybe they will enlighten us. Bruce? Peter? Are you there? Any others reinstated? Thanks.
