The role of "Mods"
There has been a great deal of discussion about "mods" recently. I thought it might be an idea to try to get clarification on exactly what their role is.
Originally I believe they were simply there to check sellers were not posting things which for instance contained obscene language. This role seem to develop into actually helping sellers with problems and ,for a time, they actually did help. In more recent years sellers increasingly used them as a "help desk" instead of contacting the completely useless "Seller Help"
We now have a situation where there seem to many many mods but very few of them actually give sellers any help.
It would be helpful if a mod (a real person not a robot) could come on the forum and tell us what their role is.
I am only naming the 2 most recent mods who have replied to my queries. Other sellers please feel free to add more mod names

Hi dunsterville34,
If you click on @Spencer_Amazon you will see that they have not replied to anything for 4 weeks... so they may not now be active... or they're taking a long winter break...
Whereas Indy has been active recently, but their Stats are:
82 Discussions started
1.4k Replies to discussions
0 Most helpful replies
937 Upvotes received
742 Downvotes received
Which looks, to me, as if they might not be personable
All Best

@Seller_AlYpsVHv0gj21 - A while ago (can't remember when !) I'm sure I did start a thread asking if they could let us know who the current forum mods are. Of course, I now can't find that thread, and even though I tried selecting 'My discussions' in the filter - nothing was there !!
Hopefully either Indy or Spencer might respond. Will tag in another couple who still appear in the dropdown, but who knows if they are still active ?? @JiAlex_Amazon @Ezra_Amazon
