Re: [Openstack] my ask.openstack.org question has waited for moderator approval for 17 days
Hi all - Just a quick follow up on this... I just discovered a quirky UX bug that might explain some frustration people have been having with the moderation. There were messages dating back to March 2018. Basically, when you click to approve/disapprove/etc... it appears that the queue is cleared. But if you go to the menu and go back to the moderation page (or just reload), you get a whole new batch. My guess is moderators have been thinking they're clearing things out, but not. I know that's what happened to me multiple times over a period of many months. I've since really and truly cleared out the queue. I found about 25 users that were spammers and blocked all of them. I also auto-approved anyone that was a valid poster so they can post without moderation moving forward. Ask.openstack.org is still a valued tool for our community and another way for people to engage outside of the mls. It's full of not just valid questions, but a lot of valid answers. I highly encourage those that are curious about becoming a moderator to check it out and let me know. I'm happy to elevate your user to a moderator if you want to contribute. Cheers, Jimmy

It has been like that for 17 days. If you are a moderator, I'd appreciate if you'd decide whether to publicly post my question:
