I tweeted to Edwin yesterday, about spamming on the forum:

https://twitter.com/EMDiscussions/st...9144016789510/

A short time later, I returned to EMD, and the spam had gone.

At that same time, I noticed that Edwin was logged into the forum.

I think the problem is there are only 2 active moderators on the forum - 1 in Australia, 1 in New York. Of course, "active" doesn't mean that they visit the forum every day or every waking hour!

So, that is leaving a lot of time when the forum has no one to act quickly to remove any spam - it can be there for many hours before a mod logs in and removes the spam.

That's why I asked Edwin to consider reviewing the moderators - we need more mods, we need them also spread out around the world (in different time zones), and willing to police the forum.
