Housekeeping

These are suggestions for tasks you might wish to do on a regular basis.

Daily

You can receive prompts from Modtools about outstanding daily tasks, such as pending messages, mails from members, flagged up chat and publicity sharing. You can control how often you receive these prompts in your Personal Settings in Modtools. You will be mailed when there is moderation work to do which has been outstanding for more than a certain time. We only mail you between 8am and 10pm, for communities you're an active mod on. The frequencies you can choose are Never, Immediately, After 1 hour, After 2 hours, After 4 hours, After 12 hours and After 24 hours. You can also choose to receive a beep or not when there is work outstanding.
