It's not just moderated posts.

Keep in mind where TER is based.  It's very late at night there when it's sunset EST.  They probably have fewer moderators on duty then.

Moderation's a bitch, huh?  ;)

Granted that I'm sometimes a provocative asshole who requires moderation, but is it just me or have others noticed that come sunset EST posts can take hours to show up on the boards?

unmoderated posts go up immediately, but you are right about the time difference, except I have a sneaking suspicion that perhaps one of the mods is not based where he claims to be, I don't have a bit of proof, only a sneaking suspicion. lol

but even when the mods were all based state side, moderators have lives outside TER, and they've never been able to keep their queue cleared 24/7.

By "it's not just moderated posts", I meant that it's not just moderated posts that are delayed in the evening, but anything requiring TER Admin assistance.  Hence my opinion that it could be due to reduced staffing in late evening/early morning "over there."

and I have no clue why.  How long it takes to type?  How many words?   Just want to bust my chops?  Roll of the dice?
