As your one and only admin, I sometimes get a bit distracted by life and such. So, uh, I apparently neglected the moderation queue because I fail at looking at reports. I don't get email notifications for them, so I've ignored pretty much every report since April. I went through them all though, and all reported posts have been addressed that are going to be addressed. I closed at least 40 requests in the moderation queue. My bad for taking so long!
Things ignored:
1. People complaining about "Colonies" (you'd be surprised how many reports one particular post that was RED and said COLONIES many times had).
2. Minor gripes or grievances -- if you feel bullied online, you're consenting to be here. Just ignore the haters and only talk to people you like. I only will moderate people's posts if they're directly inflammatory, intentionally misleading, or personally insulting. That means if a particular user that has loud, vocal opinions disagrees with you, you should ignore him or her completely.
3. Minor miscategorization of posts.
Things corrected:
1. Lots of typos. No, I won't increase the edit time. Just PM me if you typo'd, I respond to 99% of PMs same day, unless I'm on another continent without internet (unfortunately, quite rare), or on vacation (which is also, unfortunately, quite rare).
2. Majorly misplaced posts.
3. Advertizing for other companies in Vendor threads (really guys? Be polite to vendors, please).
4. Other misc, nothing bad.
What can you do to better help me moderate in the future:
1. PM ME.
2. PM ME.
3. Seriously, PM me. I'm terrible at checking the moderation queue.
4. Be good to one another. We have a great community here. If someone disagrees with you, oh well. Their opinion is clearly wrong, and yours is better. But keep that to yourself, they'll disagree.
Also, I'm still alive, just crazy busy at work and at home. My wife's 6 months preggers (AND ADORABLE!), and work is chaos as usual. Rather than spending time posting, I've been fixing up our house for the baby and riding as much as I can.
Have fun posting, and ride safe!

Re: Moderation, or my failure thereof!
Thanks for providing this place and all you do to make it a friendly place for us PCX folks.
Years ago, I was a moderator on a sailing forum; trimarans - fast boats, lots of testosterone. It was a very active board, requiring quite a bit of moderation (and tongue-biting). Hope I haven't done anything here to add to your workload.
