Amongst result moderators there is a bit of healthy competition going on as to who can moderate the most results. This year Christian Ney and Genieben moderated over 3000 results each, which is nothing if not phenomenal. For the moderators we often put up little statistics and, competitive as they are, the moderators try to improve the statistics.

On the 9th of December I (Massman) posted a statistic of "Moderations per Hour" in the staff forums, challenging Christian Ney to beat the current best. The staff is currently executing a UCBench purge, moderating a lot of faulty submissions currently in the database. The previous record was set at 193 moderations by Massman on 1st July 2007 between 10PM and 11PM (matched two years later by SF3D). Just before the end of the year, Christian Ney beat that record by 34 as he moderated 227 results in one hour.

If you had your score blocked on December 27 and feel bad about it, just remember you were not alone that day! In case anyone wonders, here's a Top-20 list of "Moderations per Hour".
