In the event that a moderator is not able to perform the duties of the moderator for some small length of time, such as a vacation, the moderator should inform the community by posting to the appropriate newsgroup, that there will be a delay in posting articles. It is not usually necessary to give a reason for the delay, though you may choose to do so. If a moderator finds that they will be unable to perform their duties for a more extended period of time, they should allow the backup moderator to assume posting responsibilities until the primary moderator is able to once again assume the responsibilities of posting to the newsgroup. In this manner, articles submitted can to be posted to the newsgroup in a timely fashion and the newsgroup continues to be a resource the NetNews community can depend on.
