I see that the URCM "moderators" have been deliberating over a post which was made at "09:4x" on Monday 28 March, i.e. over 3 days and 4 hours ago. I think this might be a record. Surely there can't *ever* be an excuse for simply holding a post for so ridiculously long. If the post is acceptable, approve it, otherwise reject it...fairly simple, one would think.

I don't recognise the name of the person (Micky Frost) who made the post, but I hope that whether or not the post is eventually approved, Mr Frost will be along to UNNM to tell us what he thinks about his first ever post to URCM being delayed so much, whether it made him feel welcome, whether he's been asked intrusive questions by the "moderators", etc.

Same old shamefulness. I know it's only been a short time since D.M. Procida's ultimatum, but I think it's already been made very clear to us that the "moderators" (or at least the "bad" ones) have no intention of improving their conduct voluntarily, and so it looks as though an RFD to force the issue is inevitable, and the only question is when rather than if. Tony Raven can squawk all he likes, it's going to happen.
