In 2010 there were rarely 3 pages of topics, DB... hundreds of spam posts? Sure...

There's one plus you can't deny, and that's that almost all topics actually got more than 10 pages.

Speed moderation is indeed what the mods focus on. Alemas once said that he'd prefer the time when posts took longer to approve but they were more carefully approved. WA said that no one else wants that. Of course, she doesn't want that. And people like DB don't either. But that's not to say that no one wants that. Let's look at TTTM. Fine, more questions are answered than three, two, or even one year ago. But half of them are not answered correctly. The mods either say "I don't know" or "We're not sure" to a lot of those (even if they could research it in two minutes or less) or... say the wrong thing, or similar. They might not even bother to read the question correctly. I was actually amused when WA dodged a question asking who invented jammers by saying what they are. But that's just me. :P Oh wait, I forgot, posts need to be approved straight away.
