I know I've said it before, but I really appreciate the work you do here M7 (and D3rr of course!). And the fact that you are active all through the site and talk with all levels of users. I don't know how you find the time!

I've had my own experience with an unhappy poster in the last couple of days, after I deleted what I genuinely thought was a spam link. I can't even imagine the scale you are dealing with!

Thanks :) It is tricky to find ways to scale what I do, but getting help from vantafount has been a big part of this, vanta has been doing a great job doing content moderation for the site, mostly focusing around spam control and other things, so I can focus on the trickier stuff.

Love your work mate :-)

When are we going to hear you back on The Tinfoil Hat?

Ha who knows, maybe not ever. I heard ryan left the show, and he was the main drive for getting me on there the first time. It's probably more likely I'd be on Higherside chats again, but I don't really have a "thing" to talk about because I run this forum now instead of writing articles, which is what Carlwood picks up on to ask me for interviews. The only "thing" I have to talk about is cybersecurity and how to run forums, which might be interesting in itself, but I'd probably have to write an article about it first and hone it down to an interesting set of factoids. Maybe someday
