Not impossible however with considerably less credibility than a member with 100+.

I disagree here. The number of postings says nothing about the quality of the content. Nor does the length of a post.

One has to evaluate each member on the content of posts made, and sure it will become more clear after a number of posts if someone is capable of providing valuable content. Still no guarantee for good quality posts all the time.

One thing I would like to point out for one particular person that keeps stating that the "new moderation is purely a management decision intended to whitewash the forum to improve YT/Google metrics".

I have not received ANY direction from Dave to try to do such at thing. The only thing that I am aware of with regards to how we were operating as moderators changed was starting to make better use of SMF and to be careful not to step on each others toes when an issue was already being handled. Simply better coordination between us as moderators.

As for improving metrics... I really don't get how anyone could think this, and I am not even sure how whitewashing the forums could lead to this. I mean, we'd have to literally start fresh and wipe the forums clean if we were doing such a thing. Those claiming we were doing this are just showing their own paranoia and ignorance.

Where does this number come from? I don't recall ever publishing the count. I do recall publishing a rough number of reports we were getting. The fact that my mail box was continually filling with more and more TEA reports for off-topic content. Do note we have been having such reports for years, and for the most part they were ignored due to the nature of that thread. Once we started seeing a large uptick in the number of reports and who was reporting it was clear that something needed to be done. Stop making false claims that it was some small group trying to cause issues, or lurkers... quite a few of the reports were from your own members against each other who are now calling foul on acting on said reports.

Move on people! It's done, finished, stop trying to play the blame game.

gnif, that's why i asked for clarification.  i have a lot going on right now with dealing with a leg broken in 2 places and other injuries falling down some stairs.  not sure where the number 15 got stuck in my head.  Maybe it was just my wrong impression was a quite small of complaints compared to the number of posters to the thread.  at any rate, sorry if I accidentally put words in your mouth.  I hope at some point you decide to be a mod again.  There are too few of you doing a thankless job and you all should be lifted up and encouraged instead of being denigrated.

pcprogrammer:
As someone else pointed out the number 15+ was in a post of gnif. And just to kill some time (too tired to work on my project) I tracked back in the thread to page 5223 and looked at who posted in the time up to and little beyond the moderator step in.

24 members and from these only a few who have high activity rates. Compared to 15+ complainers the numbers start to look a bit more grim I would say.

@GreyWoolfe, ouch. Hope your leg and other injuries heal well.

GreyWoolfe:
thank you for the kind words.
