Why is the DT so inaccessible?

I've been pushed to the extent that this topic became a necessity. Why is the DT so inaccessible? Particularly the channel moderators, the GMs and the admins? We have no idea who is active, who is inactive, whom to PM and whom not to PM.
PMs are hardly ever replied to, scraps are never checked, and then when we discuss about the grievance amongst normal members, then the mods come down us and say that we're 'bashing' the dev team. There are certain issues that only the higher Dev. Team can resolve, but what can we do when they're so out of reach? I want to know which bell to ring in order to get their attention?
This is not about the viewbies or coolbies, this is mainly about the higher DT. I understand that they may be busy with other things and it's difficult to respond to every PM, but why take up the position if it's too much to handle? Naturally, if a problem/issue arises, members will turn towards the mods for help. But if they don't respond, where do we go? I have repeated time and again that IF's development team needs to be faster and stronger. I think the internal communication channels are not completely clear either.
My issue is, that I've been trying to contact the admins for the past 1.5 days and no avail. There is something to be done and it needs to be done now. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Mods either leave their PMs unchecked or uncheck them after reading, I don't know. All I know is that if I rummage through my outbox, I will find PMs unread by mods dated 2008.

Hellooo :)
I think, at the moment some of the DT may be inactive due to exams.. but i'm sure they'll reply when they'll be back.
If there are any issues you need help with and the section does not have a DT or DT is inactive, feel free to pm me your concern and i'll try to forward it to somebody who could take immidate action.

@PARACHUTE - I pmed you exactly an hour ago during which time you were online. My issue however can wait. But there are people whose issues cannot. And maybe one hour means nothing to the DT here, but it means alot to the members facing a grievance.
Thanks for the help.

I too want to get it to the notice of u reg. this ..

As a member can see this .. many Viewbies n coolbies r doing there work very impressively .. though they recieve innumerous report posts n PM's .. as far from the day 1 i joined here .. these Viewbies n Coolbies r taking the action as real dev.team members.

Why cant the other DT members also do this .. I visit certain sections .. there r some moderators .. simply a Moderator .. from the day 1 neither i seen her any Warning post reg.any certain issue nor following IF rules .. She herself starts bashing others .. If Moderators r only not following their rules .. then why there r certain rules in this forum ..

N the major thing .. the people themselves r feared to report such people .. as these people coz of no reason Increases their Warning Levels ..


P:S :'m really not meant to point out on ALL MODERATORS .. just some .. ONLY SOME .. N THE OTHERS R DOING THEIR WORK more impressively ..

Just a request .. if any dev.team member not interested being in such high position ..whats the need taking such place ..

n its really a sincere request .. pleasee only make the members who r active n r efficient to take up the work as DT members .. pleasee ..

We as a members of this IF ..really want to see a healthy environment in forums .. not by fearing to report such people .. we just come here for some fun n relaxation .. not for fighting with others..pleasee take some action .. n make efficient members as Moderators.

@CZ

Though I am not part of this particular team of I-F, I would just like to state a few points, There is a process in moderation, at first Viewbie's should be contact for any normal queries and issues and if the issue is signficant then you should contact the Moderator or Channel Moderator. Like you have mentioned that, quantity of you have no idea which Moderator to contact or who is active and who is not, then I believe the 'whichever' sections you have in mind, the moderators of that section should have left a note on the forum stating that he/she is away due to certain reasons. Some moderators even leave a note on their Sig box about their Moderation Status.

Admins are usually busy with technical stuff on I-F, Specially Vijay Bhai. Priya Di, on the other hand, is looking into all moderation, promotion thoroughly this time. Come to think about it, I've also been told that she has been checking her PM's and is returning PM's to help members. Maybe you can contact her for this 'picky' issue you have. About Global Moderators, I have no idea who is currently active, as I have been inactive for sometime myself.

@k_anjali12

I can't say much in regards to your comment, but I would like to say that there numerous moderators that work behind the scene, I am sure you are aware of Discussion section for the Moderators where they discuss and Plan a lot of stuff for the forum. Yes, number of moderators do their work from there. It's not true at all that moderators back out, as far as I am aware, they do contribute towards the happenings in their respective forums.

Finally, if you are not heard by a week or so, feel free to post any queries or anything in this section or try to contact a Mod who you know and try to get the issues solved via him/her.

Regards

I need to get something GA'ed. If you consider this picky then be it. It needs to be done now. I've been sending out PMs for the past 3 days, but nothing has happened as of yet. What should I make of this? Consider this from a normal member's point of view Imran, you'd be lost. And so am I.
The point is, you try to do something good on site, and it doesn't work because the mods are so absent and inaccessible. I can try PMing Priya aswell, but what's the guaruntee it'll work? Besides, isn't it another day gone waste?

Also, what's the point in getting something done after million years of when it was intended to?

Hey, First of all I just would like to clear one thing, by writing the word 'picky' I meant in terms 'Particular' i tend to use different words that have the same meaning. 3 days and still no respond?

I am just a coolbie, I do written update and nothing but that. I have no access to any moderation skill or whatever. I understand where you are coming from. Well, if you personally feel that the absences of moderator having a significant affect then, I advise you to contact Priya di, and don't hesitate to write what is right. Members deserve to be heard and the higher authorities deserve to know. That's all I can say.

@Imran - Thankyou, I have PMed Priya and I'm hoping that she would reply. Yes, it has been 3 days. Plus, it's a contest, it works against a deadline. By the time the mods GA it, half the time would have already gone.
