Hi Brynn,
I think what we have a is a lack of community.
I was hoping that the new forums would engender a bit of community on inkscape.org which would allow us to recruit people. If we don't have a place people want to be, then we won't have a space where we will find them.
Put this into contrast with chat.inkscape.org, which is a nice place to be, to hang out and chat. It's got people hanging about all the time (the structure of the site means that it looks like this) and so it's be a little easier to get a new person into moderating there.
So for now I'd say the most important thing is making the community space better so we have more people who would be interested in moderating. (also improvements to the tooling would be good)
Best Regards, Martin Owens

I suppose you and Martin see the same Moderation Page that I do. It currently has 47 items waiting for votes, or comments. (one of them has been there for almost a year, and just needing 1 vote to clear it off) Maybe 10 or 12 of them are waiting for deadlines or comments, but most of them could be cleared off with one vote.
I realize that you only want to vote on certain things. The problem is that we need at least one more moderator who wants to moderate on all items. And the problem with that is that no one seems to be interested.
I'm also growing frustrated with the routine of contacting people who don't bother to read the CoC and upload unrelated photos. Is there some way we could automate this? Like click one button and it sends them the appropriate message?
Or could we make the Photo category only available to admins or on request? For the most part, the only photos which are acceptable are coming from admins anyway.

It's really only the database that suffers, since the images (or other items) are never really deleted. They're just piling up on the Moderation Page. (Well, occasionally Moini reports spam, which I can vote on, which causes it to be deleted. But if I'm the one who reports it (and I do most of it), no one else ever casts the final votes.)
- Not exactly true. I check for spam daily. And I check the
moderation queue about once a month. Martin sometimes goes over it, too.

Just a report, for what it's worth :-)All best, brynn
