Only one discontent with the forum/discussion board. It is moderated. IIt is indeed manpower intensive especially, when members are as active as ILUG-Dites :-)
posted something on it and it told me that it will take something like
24 hours before it shows up there !!! So in effect any discussion is
going to have a lag of at the most 24 hours provided the moderator
whomsoever that may be has the time to check and then approve the posts
at the end of the day. Also won't this be extremely man power intensive
operation. As long as somebody is doing it I have no complaints but it
was just a thought.
As for the 24 hour lag, it entirely depends on the moderator. So far, Mairu has been doing an excellent job but I was hoping that soon we should be able to let the discussion forums be unmoderated. I have made the necessary changes to the software and it is just a matter of setting the config right. A poll in this regard seeking what others think sounds like a good idea. Will put it up soon.
Regardless of discussions being moderated or not, 'Report' link is a good feature and I just implemented it. Its online now. Thanks for great suggestion.Alternatively can't we have a link there underneath every post like many forums do which says "Report this post to the moderator" or something like that. So if anybody is offended by a particular post then he/she can just click and voila the moderator checks it. So in effect he will only be checking a few rather than all of the posts.
Regards, Nishi
