(Yes, I know the FAQ isn't the first place people look for these types of questions, but that's probably because it is hard to find.) e-mail neshura | [reply] |

As for the whole moderation thing though, well it took me a while to figure out what was going on. I tried to search the site on moderating nodes, but found only bits and pieces. I saw the faq node for this subject for the first time after neshura suggested it. I'm still trying to get the hang of it though, take this as an example: I just suggested a node for moderation, and after seeing every other moderation suggestion as (user-name) reason, I thought I would follow the accepted standard and put my user-name in parentheses--only to find out it was provided automatically. Needless to say, I'm a little embarsed that my first moderation suggestion starts out as: "(srawls) (srawls)." Oh well, I guess it just takes time to learn : ) The 15 year old, freshman programmer, | [reply] |

I'd like to clear up some terminology. "Moderation" is process whereby one of the moderators (anyone of level 6 and above) has to approve root nodes of certain sections before they appear in that section. This also covers approving root nodes to appear on the front page (Monastery Gates). One more note on moderation: If you reply to a root node from AnonyMonk, please make sure that said root node has been approved. AnonyMonk is likely to have a hard time finding their replies to an unapproved root node. Somewhat unfortunately, this means that anonymous root nodes of questionable value should probably be approved. Otherwise, the AnonyMonk is fairly likely to submit a duplicate question, perhaps in a different section, trying to figure out what happened to the first one. What you have called "moderation" is submitting a node for "consideration". This is a way to request that one of the janitors cleans up a mess of a node. Use this to: If someone from the Site Documentation Clan would like to use some or all of this for one of the FAQs, please do so and I would be more than happy to help. (: Some may disagree with some things I've said above. I don't claim to speak for all members nor to have any policy-making authority here. YMMV.

Someone may have to correct me on this, i believe it only takes one "frontpage" vote to frontpage a node. As for approving, approve all that seem to be relevant or amusing or whatever it is you use as criterion. i generally don't approve that many nodes because there are some people (and far more than i can mention here :) who are really fast and efficient at taking care of that in a good manner. i have deep respect for those people who crawl through the newest nodes doing this a lot, they do a fantastic job <round of applause>.
