I need to get in touch with a site admin in a hurry. How do I do this?

Here is a link to the Contact Form. It will reach whoever is working. Finding one of them on chat is the quickest way to get most problems resolved. IM is another other good way to get through to the site admins in a hurry. Do not use MeFi Mail to get in touch with an admin in a hurry.

Who is in charge here? Are there admins and moderators like other sites?

MetaFilter was created by Matt Haughey (mathowie). He was the sole admin of the site until 2005 when Jessamyn West (jessamyn) started helping keep Ask MetaFilter on track. In March 2007 Josh Millard (cortex) started helping out around the place. In May 2008 vacapinta became the Midnight Mod, checking in a few times during the North American night. pb keeps the back end running smoothly and does bugfixes and feature builds. Now they all watch the flagged posts pile up, delete questionable posts, occasionally post to the sideblog, and settle any disputes that might arise. You can email mathowie and jessamyn and cortex at the contact form.
