[mod says] Yeah, it’s not more than usual. It’s just that we’re better or worse at removing it quickly, depending on our schedules, time spent away from the internet, and overlap between the mod team.
Though there’s no new development to the site, we’ve actually made some changes as to which channels the system can use to notify us. Traditionally, it’s email. That’s been a problem for a while because the amount of email spam makes it extremely difficult to sift through to find flags, feedback, etc. We get 20–50 messages with spammy content or gibberish per day – here’s a quote from the latest: “PDFhBkxuqKsWVb”.
I’m hoping that Ben can migrate most alerts to Discord, which would improve visibility. Jellies can help by flagging, and by never reposting spammers’ names or messages – if you do, we have to remove those posts too, and the extra clicks add up to slow us down.
