I have had problems asking Mods. and Admins. I have asked several different Mods. the same question several different times and never gotten a response. I Understand that they usually get flooded with questions and such each day so I think a Thread should be created to ask them questions.

They have lives outside of AG you know. They're not online, a thread would be mad chaos. They have school/work to do, they'll get back to you.

I check my dwarf box every day at 3:00PM EST, then become active around 6-7:00PM EST after my dwarf nap. It helps to know the mods' time zones so you can have a better chance of catching them then. Other than that, you can't expect to get a near instantaneous response. Then sometimes the issues are resolved without the mods having to answer you back. They don't really have to do that when dealing with the problem xD

You haven't asked on either of the profiles I look after, nor on mine, as far as I remember. I did see you posting your complain about no one replying on Gantic's profile, but that is his to reply to (and I agree with his response).
Know which mods are online/active, if it is a report, don't assume we will get back to you about it, if it is a question then give us some time to get the motivation to respond.

It's all about catching their attention.

For instance:

"OHMGZ FRANK I'M TOTALLY PWNING AT MINECRAFT
I'M SO GLAD YOU TALKED ME INTO GETTING IT.
YOU'RE THE TOTAL BEST EVERRRRR
P.s - this thread is super offensive,
Can you lock it please?"

It's all about the delivery.

I understand that they have lives, I do as well but if you could get atleast one or two of them on at a time and then they just switch on and off with each other they wouldn't always have to be around.

I actually have asked you a question but it never got answered (don't worry about it now, I have forgotten what it was since it was a month ago or so.)

Considering that all the current moderators are 18+ they probably have jobs and/or college/school. I also believe they have no obligation to come on at a designated time, since they're volunteering they can choose when to come on.

If something you're asking isn't something like "lock this thread" "this user is bothering me, can you please tell them to stop" or anything else that requires a moderators power, then it can probably be dealt with by reading through the FAQ, help page, or some of the other stickies. And if your question still isn't answered and it still does not require a moderators power, then your best bet is to ask an active experienced user.

You have not left a comment on my profile for at least half a year, so that seems unlikely.
I'm not saying it is true, but if you only think you have posted the question, it might explain why you didn't get an answer.

As I read through this page, I kept on wondering: what is the question anyways? Why didn't he (CalvinKidd137) just say the question again here, now that he has the moderators' attention? So I ask: what is the question anyways?

There is

Hey if someone comments in a thread and later that thread gets locked do those AP still go into the persons account or do they lose them?

found on Strop's profile.

The answer to that is "AP ties with the post, rating or comments. Unless the posts or the thread is deleted, a lock on a thread would not subtract from the score".
