There is a serious point here, though. Take the emotion away & it revolves around speed of change on the section. That it needs some 'policing' is never in doubt, but if it takes many days or weeks to change then people won't have confidence in it.
Currently, for Moderators read Moderator and as people have mentioned, he's a busy lad.
Perhaps the answer would be to spread the load a little and utilise a couple of trusty peeps to share the load..?
The vast majority of users do have other lives and to expect a 24/7 moderation facility from one person is unfair.
Contributing to the costs of running the site does bring about a privilege, but it's no guarantee of integrity..!
TM is something that engenders a huge amount of passion, which explains the emotion at times, but it's key quality is that the majority of the time it's self moderating by it's members and contributors & long may this be so.
Just my point of view..
