I have been unable to use the forum for about a month.

I used it today, and find a quantity of messages, listed as new, that stretch back several years, due to idiots, piggy backing current messages on to year/years old messages.

This forum is SUPPOSED to be moderated. Is it unreasonable for the ALLEGED moderators, to inform the people doing this, that they should post new messages rather than adding to 1 year or longer(since last post ) ? Or is this not against the forum rules? I read well over 100 messages that had been posted a minimum of 1 year, some as old as 2-3 years, that people had added to, recently.

Are the moderators being compensated for their work? What exactly is their function/authority?

Moderators get no compensation for doing their duties here and they very rarely get any thanks. I suggest you directly contact one if you have any issues here rather than publicly throw them under the bus as a group for a relatively minor issue.

If you have a question about the forum and its moderation PM us rather than create a thread. As a long time member you should be familiar with that rule. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...questions.html



Next, threads are not always closed as they will fall off the page themselves unless someone posts a response which will bring it to the top. In many cases people are responding to old threads that are technical in nature either adding new information or asking follow up questions. That is not against the rules.

The moderators here are all volunteers who work for FREE. They do not read or see everything posted as they are not on duty 24/7 nor are they required to be. They help out when they have time outside of work and family commitments.

Lastly, if you think there is a problem with something you see on the forum you can click the report post icon and we will take a look.
