I don't know exactly how long the moderated discussion tables have been in effect, but I was wondering, from both ends, how it is going?

As one who submits posts, sometimes it is frustrating to have to wait 24 hours to have something posted. It kind of slows down the conversation.

From an administrative side, I wanted to ask if you have found if the values or benefits are greater than the risks of instant messages? Also, has it had an effect on the number of posts that have been submitted?

To fellow posters, how has it been for you?

Hopefully, we can aid in the understanding of both systems and what works better!
