(BTW, mods get a lot of email – probably 20-30 per day, at least for me, since I moderate two busy forums, MPSIMS and Cafe Society, and all post reports go there. Most of us have a dedicated email account for the SDMB because there’s so much email activity.)

Back in the Stone Age when I was a mod, we didn’t even have a “report post” feature, and we still had that much e-mail traffic. There were, however, some conscientious posters who e-mailed us about issues the old-fashioned way. And I guess some of the traffic on the e-mail loop back then was from things that are handled by the board software now (the automatic warnings and everything in the mod forum, which we also didn’t have).

And I thought you moderated the Game Room? Or do you just hang out there a lot?

Just hang out there. I do play a lot of feuds, and if I’m in one when the 50th entry has gone by, I’ll do the “game over” marker rather than waiting for a Game Room mod to do it.
