    The email notification you are looking for stopped a number of months ago. Why is anybody’s guess. But as of right now it is not active.

    On moderation, have you ever sent a request directly to wgtchamp or other WGT personalities? I was moderator for 3 years until I sent a message asking if I could be removed.

    I don't rely on those. I use the "Active Threads" link on the right regularily, and if you want to concentrate on "your" threads, there is "My Discussions", too

    OK, never thought of that, duh....

    Checked it out, very cool, tyvm.

    Keep it up and you may win a round of 9 with me...

    Like I said, all my fan mail, due to my recent, long overdue, Stardom, crashed the servers and damage the POP (or whatever) files...

    No, I have not made a formal request to be removed (never thought of doing that). I just assumed when I eventually matured, and had some ambit of self control (not to mention political correctness) and, of course, didn't ramble on so much, WGT would release me from moderation. To be honest, I am a little afraid of flying free...I am quite sure there is a valid reason I am moderated, most like due to the inability to moderate myself.

    I am assuming you meant you were being moderated for 3 years. If you were a moderator, why would you ask to be removed? I am sure moderators don't moderate moderators unless the moderator needed to be moderated in which case they should have never been a moderator.

    Your situation may have different causes.

    If you have been on moderation from the beginning (seven years!?), it should be easy to be released by asking a mod directly, as you post regularily now and there seems to be no questionable content.

    If they imposed a moderation ban on you some time after, it would mean that there was some cause - however incomprehensible - and it might take some time to be lifted, i.e. between months and years.

    Good luck!

    Hmmm if I was a moderator for three years it would probably result in a more than moderate number of people being moderated and the forum very quiet. I can imagine this would likely result in a moderately more senior moderator moderating me.

    I guess the last part of your post covers that.

    I'm moderately sure you're not in moderation for anything you've posted, as others have indicated it'll simply be that you've never come off the initial moderation.  253 posts seems a more than moderate number without, as far as I know, upsetting anyone.

    Very well done getting one of those avatars to look good, and I'm sure it does.

    I am somewhat moderately sure the moderators know how to moderate and, if I had some ability to self moderate, I would not be in moderation, atleast I moderalty thing I would not be in moderation but I would have to ask a moderator, specificially the moderator moderating me becasue I cannot moderate myself, if that is the reason that I am in moderation.  I am moderatly sure that my rant on moderation makes atleast, moderatley, some sense.

    I played 1000 rounds as a Champion and my average didn't stabilise .. I emailed WGT and  this changed in 2 days. (1017 rounds) ...

    I would support the statement by JD.

    I have my own formula for working out average dropping.  In short 27500 strokes over 1000 x 9 hole  rounds  will give you an avg. of 55.   To reduce your handicap by .01 you need to shoot 5 strokes under your current handicap e.g 5 x rounds -1 below your handicap will reduce your handicap by 0.01, 1 round of -5 = -0.01.  

    NB your handicap will come down faster after you populate the ranked rounds to 1000.  This is because your worst scores are eliminated  by your better scores.  

    It has taken me 200 rounds to reduce my handicap by one full stroke and now only 3 round scores of  -9 reduce my average by 0.01  ... keep going JD :)
