Apparently, they're having some issues. I no longer even look at the forums, because they're too difficult to locate. (For me, it's a waste of time anyway, so I need to unsubscribe. Some writers enjoy it, and I'm thrilled for them.)
Anyway, here's a partial quote:
The issues brought to our attention include:
Inconsistent moderation and lack of attention to resolving complaints
Concerns about the safety of minors (one volunteer moderator accused of grooming was complained about for not being removed from the forums in a timely fashion)
Dynamics between moderators and community members; concerns about inclusiveness and staff conflicts of interest.
