So I created this site a few years ago, BTsuck.org. It's basically somewhere for people to vent their frustration about the terrible quality of service BT tend to supply, plus a sort of mutual support network. I've not really had time to look after it properly lately, in fact until today I hadn't approved any new articles since last summer, and I was only keeping a very sketchy and occasional eye on the user comments to the existing articles.
I do occasionally receive email saying it's a shame the site seems to have died, and I also get complaints from time to time about floods of obscene comment spam that occasionally turn up. What I'm looking for is someone to help me out with the moderation of the site. The first part of this is deleting crap comments, which is largely defined as anything which contains an ad hominem attack, and anything which is gratuitiously obscene. Some flexibility to the latter, the site isn't intended to be PG, but there's rarely much valuable content in the really foul language comments. The second part of moderation is approving/rejecting articles from the submitted articles queue. This would require you to have some level of familiarity with the content policy of the site, we can discuss it if you're willing/interested.
Doing both parts of the job is likely to take maybe up to an hour a day, although it could be much more if you choose to interact with the users, take part in the comments threads etc. I'm unlikely to be helping out that much, although I'm always available to chat with via IM if you want to get my opinion on a borderline comment or whatever. Well, almost always... my company just moved offices and we have no 'net access from work for the next week or so :(
If anyone is interested in helping out with the site, please let me know...
