Looks like we have new moderators?

Congratulations @cornchip and @LisaSpangenberg!

Hope you can help keep the forum tidy, but a welcoming place at the same time.

Have @macsparky and Stephen Robles abandoned us?

Dave isn’t a moderator, not really. Since Stephen Hackett left, nobody replaced him as a moderator AFAIK.

5

no, they haven’t. I looked at the moderators page linked above and they’re still there.

I’m surprised to see Rosemary Orchard still listed. She ghosted this community (and many apps - When.Works!) years ago.

Thanks; having moderators sourced from the community is obviously new, so proceeding carefully and working with David on guidelines. There’s quite a backlog of flags, haha. I’ve handled some of the obvious recent ones for now.

Thanks for taking over…sad that it was left to fester. I wonder if the new platform @MacSparky is running means this forum isn’t long for this world…too bad.

What’s that?

(I haven’t listened to recent shows and I haven’t purchased anything from him recently)

Circle is the platform he’s running his membership stuff off of. It’s not quite a forum per se, but has threads, feeds, posts, and comments.

I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords moderators.

Thanks for the welcome. We’re not abandoned, but the Stephens and David /MacSparky have a lot of balls in the air right now.

Thanks, @LisaSpangenberg and @cornchip for taking up the moderator torch. I know the effort is not trivial, and I appreciate your willingness to help out.

That sounds like she was disenchanted with the forum? Is that what you meant? Just curious

I can’t speak to what @Drewster meant, but I had no impression that there was any disenchantment. Just lots going on for her — enough that she needed to step away from Automators. She has a day job and is involved at Snailed It!.

Gang - I’ve been a terrible steward here as moderator and I apologize for that. I’ve asked Lisa and Cornchip to help out so things get better. We’ll get it sorted.

Does this means we have to be nice to @cornchip and @LisaSpangenberg? :rofl:
