[Electric Boats] forum trouble

 

This forum is amazing in its wealth of skills represented and the quality of the info that is presented. Where it really sucks is that posting and getting responses often takes <<days>>. Apparently Yahoo writes each comment on 3x5 cards and posts them in the mail (uses bulk rate at that)....

And why? because every post must be vetted by the moderator, who I know and have read the mea culpa is constrained by Yahoo policies. But then even then spam gets through like this muscle ad that just went through. 
I think we should either have more than one moderator so we can have realtime dialogues or we should move forum to a better site. Woodenboat forum posts are immediate and they have a much more antiquated system than Yahoo's,  I'd imagine. Anyway just a food for thought, this is no way intended as a criticism of the moderator as they are only one person. I would however recommend having five or six moderators if the backlog is the problem. If not and Yahoo can't fix the problems in short order then I would move to move this Forum to a better site where we can post pictures properly and build a more productive and enjoyable community.
Cheers,  Bradley
