Not pulling my weight !
Perish the thought Bally.
Most of the time keeping the forums in order is simply a matter of tidying topics into the forums where they will receive a better response.
Questions as a forum doesn't simply mean that the use of "?" makes it the appropriate forum for a posting necessarily. When deciding to move a topic the first criteria is does it properly fit the forum. If I have any doubt on that score, I then ask is it a question directed at professional Pilots.
There has to be some latitude and at the end of the day, as with any judgement there will be some critism and some errors. A great deal of time is spent keeping the many forums in order by all the admins and moderators and we won't always get it right.
Personally I do not want to transfer any more topics than I feel is necessary for the better presentation of the applicable forum. I also try not to play tennis with postings, by that I mean transfer a subject that has already been transferred from elsewhere. That in itself involves checking most of the other forums in some detail.
Some forums ( for example "African" ) have postings from members who may have a great deal of difficulty in accessing the internet. For that reason I adopt a very laissez faire attitude and am very reluctant to transfer posts to other places. That forum is a community forum and should be allowed a much more liberal form of moderation than some of the busier and perhaps more accessible forums.
There is no quota for transferring posts or if there is they haven't told me yet ! As checkboard says we do listen to any critisism.
As well as the ability to censor posts (which is really quite rare), and the ability to transfer posts between forums, most of the time the moderators are dealing with e-mail correspondence and general housekeeping matters.
As for moving on to "hallowed turf", I have noticed the grass needs cutting so I will end this reply.
