^ In that case, you can make life easier for the moderating DT by reporting FFs that cross 15 pages. SHQ is an extremely active forum (in the top 10), so there are certain FFs that may slip the eye of the section DT. Trust me when I say this, cause I used to moderate some really high traffic forums during my moderation days, and it is NOT easy to stalk the forum and move threads, cause this is kinda time consuming and contrary to popular beliefs, the DTs have many forums AND a personal life to boot. Help them, and help yourselves :)
As for having an active and dedicated DT, why do you all think that Mandy is not active and dedicated? Like Jot said above, she clearly does a clear sweep of the forum regularly, even supports activities like GOTW and MOTW and BCs and NLs, so really, what more do you want her to do? Participate in discussions with you all? No really, Mandy is one of the MOST active, dedicated, and accessible DTs, and I'm saying this cause I worked under her for D3, which BTW, was WAY more active than SHQ, with at least 5 fangroups warring against each other at any given point in time. She also has the BW forum under her, which BTW, is one of the MOST active and difficult forums to moderate. Despite all of this, and having a personal life to boot, she's active and accessible for you folks, so I really don't see the point of the "we need an active and dedicated DT" campaign, cause you already have one.
Also, what is the need to close really old and out-dated DTs/ATs? Like are people commenting there? No. Are people spamming there? No. Is it causing trouble to anyone? NO. So if you're on SanDhir AT 140 and you ask for the 3rd AT to be closed, really now, there are MANY more pressing moderation matters out there for EVERY DT member to address. Only if there are newbies/bots/spammers hounding older topics and commenting and bringing them to the first few pages, there is no need to sit closing topics that are like months old and have NO activity.
TB articles really don't fall under the jurisdiction of the IF DTs, so you can contact the TB reporters on the TB website or externally via FB and Twitter.
As for profile picture changes, they're not in the hands of the moderating DT. The moderating DT only serves to help liase with the technical DT who will finally do the changes. If there is something pending for SHQ, means it is pending for many other celebrities as well, so give the technical DT some time.
As a current fan of SHQ, a kinda sorta active member of the forum, and an ex-Viewbie myself, I believe that it was only prudent for me to stand up and share my views.
