I will help as a moderator or a commentator, but mainly during the race on Sundays.

‘One thing thats irritate me most in live blog- TIME between moment when I send my comment and time when its shows- thats make them useless.’

We really try our best to go through all the new comments as quickly as we can and get them published as quickly as we can. But when everyone says something at the same time, for example, it makes it more difficult for us because there’s suddenly all these new comments we have to go through.

There’s also a bit of a difficulty on the part of the software to load comments once they’ve been approved for publication. I experience it too, and I know it’s the software because all my comments are automatically published as a moderator.

It can all add up to quite a bit of lag from time to time.

I hope you understand the situation and you can bear with us. I’m sure the folks at Coveritlive (who host our live blogs) will be able to resolve this issue in time.

Thanks to all those who’ve offered to help! I think I can speak for the moderators when I say it’s well and truly appreciated. See you all at the blogs!

Sigh, I would love to help but because english is not my first language i think its better that i stay away from that kind of jobs. Who kows what kind of text i would let past as a moderator lol.

Btw. Thank you Keith for all work you have done for this site. Without your live blogs i would be complete lost what happens in race weekends. F1 coverige in australia is about 2 -3 hours late and then its ofcourse ITV and my nervous can not take it anymore.

I’m not around at every race, and tend not to comment on (or sometimes even bother to watch) practice sessions, so I don’t think I can be too much help

I will say that I’m an avid supporter of the live blog and really miss it on those races I watch from home, without an internet connection. Anyone who is able to make the commitment and helps give us this valuable service gets my heartfelt thanks.

I can do moderation, as that’s pretty much what I currently do anyways, minus a few failed jabs at humor . Full race is fine with me.
