IMHO, the mods and admins do an awesome job of keeping PC a safe place. I've been a member of some other mental health "support" sites that turned into snake pits. In one case, the admin and mods contributed to the ugliness. I agree with Seesaw, I've found admins and mods at PC to be polite and courteous even when I disagreed with them.

I agree the moderators do a great job.
the bottom line is the moderators cant do a better job then they are. and each forum has at least 3-4 moderators if not more taking care of that one board.a few of the boards have up to 6- to 8 moderators listed as the ones taking care of that forum board.
heres something to think about... this problem where whether moderators are doing their jobs and how there should be more comes up and then somewhere else I read posts saying how members hate to report posts. well if we dont report posts how are the moderators going to know when there is a post somewhere on this huge site...
example say I was a moderator (which I dont have the time to do just using an example this is not a volunteer request
) I see no one has reported a post what am i to think .... everything on the boards are ok. unless i just happen to be reading a thread and notice something that should have been reported...
my point is i know some people dont like to report posts but thats part of a moderators job... checking to see what posts have been reported, go to those posts and see if they violate the rules of the site and then if so remove or edit it, right? they cant do this part of their job if no one is reporting posts that they feel are not right.
I do report posts and probably do keep the moderators quite busy checking out posts that I may feel isnt right in some ways. Not to mention when I send my own posts in to them. But the way I see it, thats part of why they are here. its their job, they cant find all those posts that need attention if someone doesnt report them. sometimes the moderators will get back to me when I perceived a post differently than it was meant to be, or a quick yes we are aware of this post and its being worked on thanks. but most of the time what they do is behind the scenes.
my point if you feel their should be more moderators do a challenge.... challenge yourself to act as if you were a moderator and report any posts you feel needs a moderators attention. I dont have the time to be a moderator but I can do my part of reporting any posts that I feel may be harmful to others.
