Who's on duty?

Is there a place on this forum to see what mods are currently on duty?

You can see a list of online members here -

But I don't know of a way to fliter out just moderators / admins.

I'm sure if there was a feature like that it would be abused. The fact that you can see when someone is online is probably good enough. but to see when a mod is actually working might cause people to message them constantly with questions instead of going through the proper channels.

Yes, agreed. Silly question in hindsight.

Some moderators disabled the "now online" / "last visit [thread] option.

Click on each profile and if it says we were last seen doing something anywhere between a moment ago and 59 minutes ago, we're online.


But don't assume any of us are necessarily online, even though the forum says we are. I personally never "log out", preferring to let the system set my status to offline after an hour. This leads some people to believe I'm still online when, in actuality, I've already closed the tab. Additionally, I often check BHW from my phone, which I prefer not moderating or posting from.
