I would ask that you bear with it a while longer. I believe I am the only active moderator on the QM forum at this point. SCN is currently going through a process in the moderators forum to verify and clean up the moderator lists in all spaces. There are other areas that are having a lot of issues as well with inactive or ineffective moderation.
If I don't get to an abuse report, right away, it eventually goes to a global moderator. The global moderator's handle a ton of spaces as there are spaces with no active moderators.
QM is not too bad to moderate as we seem to have a reasonable sized niche and we usually don't get more than 10-20 new posts a day.
Nitin is by far, not the only person to report abuse in the QM forum. There are several other knowledgeable people here that recognize and report abuses daily. I GREATLY appreciate it. By the time I get on, usually US EST time, the majority of new postings have already been made and may have been out there for 6-8 hrs or longer already. I usually have 2-3 abuse reports each morning in the queue when I get in. The nice thing is, that if another member considers it abusive and is willing to report it, half my job is done and my decisions become much easier.
I tend to be very forgiving and give most people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the abuse reports. Most folks will get a direct message from me, especially if I block their content. Repeat offenders may just find their content blocked. When you become a problem your account will be locked. The biggest violations I see are primarily the lack of searching for answers before posting a question. We are NOT here to solve your basic design issues and serve as a training platform. That said, I also don't want new people to feel stomped upon. We want to encourage participation and growth.
So I have allowed content at times that maybe should have been blocked. It kind of depends on the nature of the question. A basic question such as what is a MIC, which everyone needs to know, will be frowned upon much more than say a question on what a sampling scheme is for. Sampling schemes are not used much and I know it can be a difficult concept to grasp. Of course it also depends on exactly what is asked and how much detail is provided. The more time you spend on your question, the more detail you give, the more likely I'm not going to block it.
Asking a question on design is similar. If you just post a question that appears to be a copy of an item from a systems requirement document, it will probably be blocked. But if you post the same requirement, provide some detailed discussions on your thoughts and ideas, the problems you see, what you are thinking about doing, and how you have tried to solve it... it'll probably be allowed and you'll get a nice discussion around your requirement. Don't ask without giving!
The most serious violations, primarily plagiarism, (copying of SAP help files or other copyrighted work on the internet), which is found mostly in blogs and documents, are actually tracked in a separate database accessible by only moderators and other key SAP people. The first instance usually results in a warning from SAP legal department. A second instance usually results in deactivation of the account.
I expect the listed moderators to be updated shortly in all of the spaces. Probably by the end of the month.
