Theymos would be the best person to tell us why we do not have a moderate,
I believed the day theymos send the message to create the board, to our end there was no request for a moderator (s), probably because we were very much excited for the political independent and could not remember to request others.
but I guess it is because we can still report any post we see not appropriate and there would be a fast response from global moderators and other moderators that theymos assigned to our local board.
there is nothing like maintaining ur home by urself. Reporting to the moderator who has been assigned to dis local board is good but those moderators are busy so there are some times reports are ignored.
To have a child board, that means you are discussing more about a particular aspect that should belong to a certain board on our local board, example that I have known is 'politics and society' which may be the first child board that we may have. You can bring up a topic about it, let people discuss about it to know if there is a need for such child board and you can have a representative to message theymos about the need for the child board. If most of the topics on this fist page of our local board is pertaining to the board that you are requesting for, it would be given.
We were told that Children boards will be created when everything has been settled. So we are still on the process of arranging the home in order. Once everything is set, brainboss, Charles-Tim or Igehhh will pm theymos for the children boards creation.
