Regulation on posts

Hi Admin,

Can someone kindly explain the reasoning for limiting daily posts and whether this restriction will be lifted when the forum goes public please?

I might be in the minority here, but nevertheless, I believe my point is still valid - because I can't do paid work due to my disability, I have access to the internet on a daily basis and rely on it for most of my socialising needs.

With the above in mind, it is a bit psychologically daunting for me to have process a plethora of emails around 5pm.

I wonder how many other members and are in the same, or similar position as myself and would benefit from social interaction during the day?

Another poll subject please?

Thanks

Regards, Jake

Re: Regulation on posts

Hi Jake,

Thanks for your feedback. You raise a very good point about the small window of moderation hours. At the moment, to ensure safety, posts don't go live until a moderator is online who can view the posts, which, as you know goes from 5 - 10pm every night. This is due to a few reasons - initial feedback from community members, available resources (moderating staff), and to establish the needs of the community.

Now, with the community expanding, we are certainly looking into expanding these hours and aim to do this once we have the resources made available. I can't give you an estimate time of when this will happen but we will keep you and the community updated about how this is progressing.

I like your idea about having a poll about ideal hours too. It's always a great idea to get member's feedback about community development, so will definitely look into it.

Thanks,

CherryBomb
