    Seeking Moderator support, Contributing Editors, Archival Annalists & new posts

SSF members are very humbled by our moderators & the depth of their knowledge. We are grateful for all that they do and share.

What may not be apparent to everyone is the amount of behind the scenes work that goes on to keep the SSF SPAM free, civil & the open venue it is. SSF operational demands on the moderators has steadily increased. Many of the moderators are finding that they don't have the same amount time to commit that they once did. This is most evident in the low measure of new posts/treads being started by moderators.

The moderators, individually and collectively, could use more assistance. So we are asking members (including all of you lurkers) to step up in any way.

We could used:

  • Contributing Editors
  • Archival Annalists
  • Thread problem scouts (i.e., find broken links, images, etc.)
Suggestions are always welcomed (remember to put the word silver into any email's subject line or your message might be lost to the SPAM filters. Info@SMPub.com )

The SSF is a membership site. As such, it is you, the membership, that drives what happens at the SSF. So it is really up to you to stimulate new discussion and to revive past discussions.

The body of information on our SSF site goes back to 1999 (over 36 million hits). The daily rate at which new members sign up remains steady and this rate has been the same for several years. New posts are not as frequent as in years past. Why? The initial conclusions are that the archival /legacy posts are answering most new members questions and as such are not stimulating new discussion. If you find one of our older posts helpful please let everyone know.

Many us have put up posts which haven't generated discussion. Sometimes it takes a few years before the post gets noticed. And sometime you need to revive past inquiries so the newest members notice.

If you have an idea for a new discussion thread, please post it. As long as the post is SSF relevant and might be of interest to a new or experienced collector, it will be welcomed.

Thanks
