You guys may have unrealistic expectations. We don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted here.

If you're asking for something humanly impossible, remember that there are only 2 of us.

Here is a typical day's posting tally

  job  2
  flagged  204
  dead  336

That is approximately 513 comments each hour or 8.55 each minute.

Not humanly possible for two moderators to view and make judgement on even a small fraction of these comments.
