of course the editorial team are aware of the moderators, they appoint them!
That'll be because there wasn't any mods until about a year ago, and people used to complain that any old abuse could be posted out of office hours and it would go undealt with until the next working day.
There also seems to have been a change of ownership of the site within the last couple of years. (well the domain records are now different to when I first joined)
Thankfully there is a degree of control otherwise eventually AB would suffer the same fate as SAB. It is too good a site to be lost to the Trolls and abusers.
I agree totally with anne......over the past 18 months, the Editorial staff have become more involved in threads by contributions and also by expressing opinions.
This, in my opinion is not the function of the EDITORIAL STAFF which should solely be to flush out unacceptable troll activity.
Well I like personally like the fact that the editiors talk to us and with us as well and can express their opinions. As long as they are impartial (and I think they are, although I think some others disagree)
The site has got far better than it was a year ago.
