Just to let you know that there was a discussion of the best way to handle inactive moderators over on ISFDB talk:Policy. The executive summary of the discussion is that a moderator who hasn't been active for a over a year will have a hard time keeping up with all the policy and software changes that we have been going through. ISFDB:Policy has been updated accordingly and, since you haven't been active since 2007, I have turned your "moderator" flag off, so when you come back, you won't be able to approve submissions. No need to panic, though :) as we have a list of Moderator Qualifications and you can reclaim the ability to approve submissions once you go through the process. Hope to see you again when you have time for the ISFDB! Ahasuerus 05:07, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Welcome Back!

I'm holding a few of your submissions for review.

1. There's one in which you wish to change this title from ANTHOLOGY to OMNIBUS. There was a discussion awhile back that the Tor Doubles were for the most part an anthology of two novellas, instead of an omnibus containing a novel. Yes, this is a subjective interpretation, but most of the Tor Doubles have been changed to anthologies. (I just checked and there a few stragglers out there.)
2. Another submission wants to make The Furthest Horizon into a variant of The Furthest Horizon: SF Adventures to the Far Future. That first title only appear in an omnibus (Exploring the Horizons) of two anthologies, and I'll leave a note with the verifier of that omnibus to see how it's titled.
3. The last submission that I'm holding wants to remove the title record from the same omnibus. The only reason why it is visible in the omnibus is because the title record is mistakenly typed as an ANTHOLOGY. If you change that record to an OMNIBUS, it will no longer be visible in the list of contents (that's what we want.) I'm going to go ahead and reject this submission, then change the title record's type and you'll see what I mean.

Please let me know how you feel about the first submission, and I'll get back when I have the verifier check his copy of the second submission. Thanks. MHHutchins 19:53, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
