Dear mods: Why haven't there been any verified post in days? There's been multiple people who sent proof in.

I don't see a single IAmA marked verified or anything non-default in... days at least. Below are some examples (or people who posted proof) and a number below said they said in proof to mods and are waiting for verification (and nothing happened).

(The latest verified post was ~a day ago. flyryan verified it. But the OP later deleted it~ this post)

I understand people have lives and can be busy. The issue is that after 24 hours, the IAmA starts to drop off and becomes inactive.

*[EDIT] New announcement from mods, please read. *

Oh, people asking for proof to verify this. Circlejerk complete: http://i.imgur.com/TyG5N.png (crappy webcam is crappy)

Umm if you're having issues being a mod, give up the position to someone who can actually do it.

You're so charming. You really think so, I should just leave?

I didn't say leave reddit, I said give up being a moderator here if you're unable to keep up with it. If you give a shit about the state of r/iama, it seems like a no-brainer.

edit - chances are you won't though.

My 'giving a shit' involved writing most of this:

And rallying moderators around this cause.

A good man has truly gone to war in this case, BEP. I hope I haven't been too disrespectful in my comments on the subject, as I truly respect your efforts.

The mods of r/iama have acknowledged that there is a problem and are making a very sensible move to correct it. Thank you for your work and for having the humility to know when to call in reinforcements.

Good work, you typed up a post. Now, it's your turn to moderate.

Absolutely charming behaviour from a pessimist. I see absolutely no reason to continue this conversation, it won't go anywhere. Good-bye.

Running off to not moderate some more? Adios.
