Hello RRT,
Nadia mentioned moderation on the forums in response to
last weeks RRT email. Yes at the moment posts are put in a moderation que,
I imagine this will continue though I am not certain. Either way I do
intend to recruit some moderators (probably mostly people who will also be
editors on the debatabase although there is no reason why the two have to
be linked). This will be necessary because I cant always be checking the
moderation que - most obviously due to the need to sleep! However while in
preview with few visitors it is not a big problem. However before I begin
asking for moderators I need to come up with things like moderation
guidelines, so yes you will get a chance but not for a week or two.

Same as last week: adding to the idebate

combined with working on one of the above topics as
several of them are on the forum) and checking for bugs on
