			<content type="html"><![CDATA[This is first time I have posted here and I haven't really read much in terms of the posts but I really think Onion is right about a few of his statements in his first post, from what it sounds like things are getting better.  I just wanted to point out that this time last year when I was just starting out the community felt a lot more fresh than it does today, I'm one of the really big Community Forum people and I enjoyed herring what people had to say.  I know why the staff here at BiM "hid" it, but somehow I feel that since the end of the EASTER the whole of the brickfilming community has been somewhat slowed down in terms of excitement and joy to brickfilm during the upcoming THAC/Holiday season.  If anyone understands what I'm saying then I think you will know it to be true.  This isn't a rant to get the community forum, I just want to point out that WE ARE missing something, and it's been hidden for quite some time now.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=Onion]Jargon, Hazzat and Squash, seem to be the only three who are actually active regularly and interact well with members. I'm not saying that the others are immature, but they seem tired of their job[/quote]

Just to defend my job here, not that I really need to, if you could see the moderator report page you'd see my name pop up regularly and of course all the other moderators. A lot of our moderation is invisible in regards to deleting spam. Unless you saw it in the first place you're not going to notice it's gone.

Also there is no big need for moderation, the biggest problem we have is spam bots and I believe we are looking into ways to stop them registering, though I cannot say this for sure as I am not highly involved in the technical dealings of the site.

So just to summarise, 90% of moderation is invisible but believe me every moderator pulls their weight.]]></content>

Nope. Old inactive SUPER forum I was running had to be deactivated after spambots kept registering.  Site owner couldn't figure out how to update phpBB so this was the best temporary solution I had.  Ever now and then when I reactivate it to check on stuff, spambots start registering again.]]></content>

I don't think this is very fair to all the reviewers, a few of whom (Jargon, BuilderBrothers, etc.) were doing a fair amount of reviews until a few months ago when it was decided that the system needed to change.  I was under the impression that they were supposed to put a hold on the reviews until the new system was sorted out.]]></content>
