• The communication I quoted was of a public nature, didnt occur to me I'm not allowed to quote it. 
  (I quoted it for accuracy, so I dont misinform the readers). If it is a private matter one or both sides should state that it is 'off the record'. This restriction will greatly reduces the usefulness of any communication with admin through emails. Shame.
• All I wanted to know is if they are paid or not, I didnt ask how much.This  is obviously not a matter between management and staff, as you yourself just stated 'coords are volunteers' (ie no pay).
• This thread started becuase several aspects of the vue community are not been carried out at all.
  It seemed as if the reason for that is (1) Moderators have the needed permissions to do theme but we have no moderator (2) the coordinator we do have has no permissions to do them.
  So my surprise is of a pragmatic nature - either give us a moderator, or enable our coordinator to do his tasks by giving him whatever permissions/priviledges needed.
• I never  implied mods/coords do not have/do a lot of work, to the contrary - I said thefixer should have help becuase its too much for one person to do.
• I gave credit before - answers are given very fast. But just syaing 'read about statistics' isnt adequate. Giving me a link to were the rating system is explained on the rendo site (and if needed extra specific links/refernces to the statistics involved would have been.
• Of course no one said explicitely 'I'm laughing at you'. But it was treated as a ridiculous/non-realistic suggestion. This happened when the 'critique group' was established.  I (and some others) suggested being able to specify a critique gallery/genre in addition to the regular specification would be a good way forwards. I guess I'll have to withdraw my statement as this happened awhile ago, I didnt keep a record of it.
• Sorry Jani - thanks for the offer, but this is a public issue, I dont see what good e-mailing you would do, particularly if I cant then report it to the rest of the community.
  Something to the effect of  'w'll nominate a moderator soon' was said in May, so saying it again in August doesnt clear the issue.
  Bottom line, I still dont know how you intend to solve the issues the OP raised.
