Hi all,
I understand that categories with heavy volume are not recommended for first-time moderators, but does such a rule not also serve to lock out quality help from a category where help is most needed?
I have applied to moderate a particular category for which URL submissions have gone unanswered or missing for up to a year. This category NEEDS HELP. Regardless, myself and others in my community have been refused the opportunity to break this log jam loose, all for the ironic reason that this particular category is "too big." We are effectively told to take our relevant professional experience to some other category. [?!] I simply cannot see the logic in turning away qualified help (or allowing moderators to turn away qualified help) where a demand is so overwhelmingly apparent.
Am I on track here or am I overlooking something?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
