Dear All,
Just a quick note (especially for the newbies) to say, like most other humans, we don’t work 24×7 or 365 days a year!!
So if you’ve posted at 9.45pm or 1am – pls don’t expect us to check out your post at that hour!!! We may not follow any hard & fast office hours – but let’s be reasonable here folks!
(yep, i’ve seen stinkers in the main room saying “moderator must be sleeping”….!). Yes, I plead guilty – I do sleep at night!!!
Infact, like NING (the platform we operate on) – WE DON’T WORK OVER WEEKENDS!

So pls don’t expect your approvals to happen over the weekend or on a calendar holiday. Infact, even on a weekday, it may take a two or three days depending on how much content has come through!! And depending how well you’ve written your post!! We aren’t a notice board. Our content is curated in a certain way. We follow some basic site hygiene! The idea is to ensure your post is worthy of everyone’s time; and to help you get adequate response…!
We are 7100+ 8300+ 9600+ 11,300+ members and counting so you can fathom the amount of content that comes through every single day!
You may find moderators online on a weekend, but that only means we are doing other admin stuff. Or tweaking the site. We can appreciate that you might find time to write over the weekends. But pls appreciate the fact that your content can be approved on a Monday morning. In case something is super urgent we are just an email away!
Thank you for understanding!
Happy Weekend folks!

ps: In case you are wondering why this is being posted on a Sunday…. well I’m constantly pinged about approvals (even on 26th Jan!!!) so I thought this should be made official 🙂
