Here's the thing -- everyone can help by reporting a post/thread using the "Report This" link at the upper right of a post. Here are the official rules, found in the Talk FAQ link at the right side bar: http://talk.maemo.org/faq.php?faq=vb...q_tmorulestext. The rules were created based on the comments/suggestions of the community (see: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=56702), so basically, any post that violates the rules can be reported.

When you report a thread or a member's post, an email is sent to the admin and moderators for that forum. FYI, I do see and go through all of them (and I get several everyday) starting when I wake up in the morning and all throughout the day.

Majority of the reports I get are members reporting SPAM, members reporting other members due to insults, trolling, flaming, foul language, etc. I immediately delete SPAM if other SPAM moderators haven't done so, revise, delete, merge posts when needed, as well as give infractions which lead to banning members.

This list of Modeators and Super Administrators can be found here: http://talk.maemo.org/showgroups.php. I admit that a lot are not that active anymore, so maybe we need a new round of Moderator nominations/volunteers.

There is also a special group who have access to delete SPAM. The group is quite active and you can rarely see spam posts here in forums, compared to the 4Q of 2011. You can find the volunteers on this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=78150

No one reads all threads and replies here in TMO. Again, if you see something amiss, report the post, and I or other active moderators will do something about it. FYI, I seldom see reports of duplicate threads. If you see threads that needs to be merged, please report them.

Thanks for starting this thread.
