:eek::eek::eek:
That would make a part-time job into a full time one. I don’t come close to reading all threads in GQ. I read threads I am interested in as a poster, and I may check threads that look like they have the potential to be contentious. Otherwise I check threads mostly on the basis of reports. If a spam post isn’t reported, I may not see it.

Heh. I remember a long time ago when the board was smaller (and before Report This Post was an option) that mods _did_ read every thread.

There are people who _don’t_ read every thread?

Well…yeah. :o I mean, how would they know there was a fracas in a debate thread without a Report button, PMs, or reading through it? I certainly don’t remember any requests for posters to email issues to mods.
