The Chinese local board are also having this issue at the moment, the local moderator in charge is fairly inactive, I guess the only way you could do now is to keep on reporting those threads and wait for the local moderator in charge to come online and handle those reports.

It's really sad that the Mod does nothing, especially when the whole French community have been crying for help/change for a very long time. I myself noticed this a couple of weeks ago when I went there in an attempt to improve my French, by trying to navigate through the forum, and I noticed that some threads have had posts months or even years back, and it appeared as if the section wasn't active all... So I stopped going there. Now with this explanation I can now fully understand why it is so, with people dumping comments in un-categorized sections. Makes it hard to find what you are looking for.

There is no official way.

We just have to make as much noise as possible, and hope that Theymos makes it happen.

No he meant our actual moderator. He misunderstood you.

From what I've read in you explanation, I think your local board need more moderator, or maybe a new one.
Moderator's Job for moving thread to proper section, lock it when so many spam replies, or move it to trash can.
If the thing that happend in your description is all true, that  means the moderator can't do the job well. I don't know the procedure but you should ask for new moderator.

Excuuuuse me, but did you read the whole conversation and understand it? We're not asking how to join the French Chambre syndicale de la haute couture to become a grand couturier

Theoretically!

But now imagine it, without moderation, and without sMerit... hello to french sub-forum!
We've got a lot of problems there, and it becomes impossible to have a nice experience.

- We got many spammers/bots/newbies without any real moderation. We try to do our best to keep our section clear, but we can only report to our moderator. Ok, we understand what you said, then we keep on reporting but sometimes, even after reporting a message, we can see that nothing is done (but report was counted, as when you make another report, you can see how many reports you did, and how accurate they are).

- Sub-sections of our local section is outdated. I'm trying currently to discuss with other active members to reorganize them.
To explain myself just a bit, we got only one section for altcoins for instance (no difference between ann/bounties, general discussion, speculation, airdrops...) where german, spanish, and even english sections (and many more) have organized sections... we also noticed that we miss some sections as security, and some of existing ones need to be split.
I'm gonna post it in meta section in a short time.

- Just think also that we see us as a strong community (I know it's totally subjective) without moderator (yes, we know we got one, and I know you get it, you told us what to do, and we respect it) but I really want to point out he just comes sometimes to see/valid reports and he doesn't actually be an active part of our community, also without any kindness from higher level. Some of them are fighting now since 1 year... and they tried to get over our local moderator to change things, without results. Really demoralizing.

- We already run out of sMerit in our local community. No local source. That's pretty demoralizing too.

Keep also in mind that we are trying to run our local section actually, and we all know each other, so that's why most of them are trying to find a new moderator by voting in our local section. We must find someone with motivation, efficiency, exactness, accuracy, and ofc, an active member!

Hi. Almost one month later, can you give us an update of your query above ?
Thank.

we are discussing about re-organizing efficiently FRA section actually! But as I know our place is a jungle, I understand you didn't find the thread! I PM u ;-)
