whats the role of the moderator???

What exactly is the role of the moderators on this site?... Surely the mods are working in the industry and staying on top of the science and information being put out there into the public forums are they not?

There is so much mis leading and just dead wrong information being posted on this site by people pretending to know something about weight loss and muscle gain it's mind boggling. It seems as tho the mods are not paying much attention to the posts and definitely not posing questions as to the science of the information being posted and the accuracy of those posts.
 
I believe it's the mods' job to monitor for spam, disrespectful behaviour, and illegal activity. Outside of that, people are free to post what they want, whether it's correct or not. It's the internet.
 
Whats the point of having a site that is claims to provide information and help to those in need if much of the information is bogus... kinda defeats the purpose, integrity and legitimacy of the site doesn't it??? ... internet or not.
 
Case in point... pulled off of the very first post I read tonight... this information is just totally untruthful and wrong... this bs should not be allowed to be posted anywhere let alone on a health and fitness website... check out the preposterous claims of the last paragraph...

I just read the first bit of that, thought trash and closed it.
Unfortunately there is no way to avoid all junk on any forum. I find some of them annoying but generally ignore them or take the mick out of a few, kind of like trolls on message boards.
There is always a danger of someone taking them seriously but in truth that is as likely in a chemist as here. Most people can identify the difference between a marketing post and a real one though.
 
moderators are a combination of spam patrol and people educated in the industry. however, due to the number of posts (and garbage posts), it is very hard to deal with it all. After a time, most garbage posts just get ignored and disappear, while quality posts take on their own life.
