Seeking Questions for "Ask a Moderator"
Peering behind the curtain...
Friday, January 4, 2008 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
WinCustomize came into being almost 7 years ago now. In that time, we've registered over 3 million users, processed tens of thousands of skin uploads, participated in countless forum threads, answered emails, PMs and more. The life of a moderator is always a busy one!
And while we've always tried to be transparent in what we do here, sometimes our job may seem a bit mysterious or confusing. Normally you could just fire off an email to one of us with a question, but sometimes you might hold back because it's not about a specific skin you uploaded, or may not be all that pressing an issue.
In the spirit of ZubaZ's Ask a Master article, I'm going to start a spin-off; Ask a Moderator.
I'm seeking questions from the community that you'd like to see the moderator team here at WinCustomize answer. Do you wonder why they moderate the queues they do? Do they have a favorite skinner? Do they have an innie or an outtie? You get the idea.
Post your questions below, and I'll pick out my favorites to ask the moderators. Please, no questions about why your specific skin was moderated a certain way, or recieved some rating.

How are the skin types divided up for review? Does anyone help out with reviews, if they get a backlog of one type of submission, or does the Mod in charge have to wade through them all, himself?
Just asking.

This was not intended as a "Request help thread" but as a "get to know the mods" thread.
Many of us here know most the mods and like to joke around and have a good time..Dont let our jocularity and good natured Banter deter you from the site. We are just having fun..
There are tons of actual help threads you can use or feel free to start one. You may even ask in here as I doubt folks would object.
Oh and Welcome to WC, we may be a little nutty at times.. but were lovable

Isnt Zubaz' middle name Jocular?
I thought he said he was a jocular. I just assumed he was trying to tell us he spends a lot of time on a horse.
