Some of the moderators are not in the US, so they are on at alternate time. some are retired collectors and some have jobs still, so its tough to say. We are more concerned about situations where people may be disciplined or banished.

Look at the bottom line of any post, see where it says - Report. That's what it's for and that's what you do - you click on Report. The the mods will handle it if action is warranted. That's what the Support and Feedback is for. Simply start a thread there, ask your questions and or explain what the problem is. If you click on the Report button, every mod there is will see that Report. If you simply want to contact a mod, just click on their avatar, and when the popup opens select - Start a Conversation. That will open and take you to the Private Message page. Simply compose your message and send it off. Or, you can tag a mod in a post, any post, @Mac McDonald , like I just tagged you. Congratulations ! You passed ! What did you pass ? The - hey, is this guy paying attention ? - test Seriously, I never even heard of such a thing happening before ! Stuff like that I chalk up to what I call the wonders of technology - it's a wonder when it works, and you wonder when it doesn't !
