Drh -- It's not that moderators are "busy"; the thing is moderators can't read every single thread/post made on repgeek. Each moderator has his own "favorite" forums in which he reads just about every thread/post, but there are probably some threads/posts that are never read by moderators. There aren't any "assigned" subforums that moderators are relegated to "police".
The problem of policing all of repgeek is this -- louisruby is in Australia, and narikaa is in the UK, but I believe the rest of the repgeek moderator team is in the USA. This means that between about midnight and 9am USA east coast time, louisruby is probably the only moderator online. From 9am to midnight USA east coast time, various moderators are on repgeek.
Also, all of the moderators are geeks, so we're looking at our favorite forums and reading/posting as regular members, too. Each moderator has his own "way of moderating", so not everyone is on repgeek "policing" while he's on the site. I cruise the sales sections at least once a day and read my PMs, which can number in the 20s each day, and also do my "regeek moderator" duty by reading non-Panerai related threads.
It's just a much more efficient way of policing ourselves if the membership PMs a moderator, lists a link to a "fishy" thread, regardless of what section the thread is in, and states why the moderator should look into the thread.
