about

Hey Everyone :) I'm Kate and a level 2 mod on here. I've had this account since July 2004, so I've been on here since I was 13! Wow ... crazy for me to think how long ago that was. I will admit I don't check in as often as I once did, but being away at college, being in a sorority, and having a job when I'm not at school is very time consuming. I still try to help out as much as possible, and if you send me a question I WILL answer it. This site helped me a LOT when I was in high school and had a lot of questions, and I'm here to help anyone who needs it :) Feel free to write in my forum or send me a question any time!

So I was wondering, when you ask a question on here, why does it just show up on the advicenators homepage like 3-4 days later? Im sure this question will come up in like 4 days too. (its Jan 2)

Matt & Peeps are both correct in what they have said.

Being a level 2 moderator (one of the few people who can approve questions), I know that I approve anywhere from 0-30 questions per day. Sometimes I come to the site and either no questions have been asked (doubt it) or another administrator has already approved them. There are tons of questions asked each day, and us admins will approve just about all of them. However, sometimes it feels as though more people are asking questions than answering.
The questions on the side of the website will remain there until they receive 2 answers. Once those questions receive 2 answers, new questions will show up. This is not a manual thing that admins can change. Sometimes those questions will get a great, amazing, perfect answer, but until they get a 2nd one, they won't disappear (which can get annoying).

Anyway, I just wanted to clear it up. While there are very few active administrators, we do get majority if not all of the questions approved daily (granted the few hours where we're asleep, but we're mostly in different time zones, so it's not too bad), we just don't have enough people answering questions.

So, as Peeps already gave DN's response - answer, answer, answer. The more questions that are given plenty of answers, the more questions that can be shown.

Also, if you're a level 1 moderator, rate questions! If a question is bad and gets enough 1 ratings, it's deleted. There are plenty of questions we approve with a 1 rating that they can be deleted if some more moderators agree with us and do their jobs as well.

If you have any other site related questions, feel free to ask any of us active administrators. :)

(Rating: 5) Thanks :-) I just feel like there should be active L2 moderators, I am on this site litterally multiple times everyday checking and answering questions.
