How the scribes work at Forums:
The scribes sit in the Forums and are cutting and pasting (C&P) saving every post pertaining to the topic under discussion in order of posting as much as
is possible before saving the posts into a word document.
The end document ranges on average of between 20 to 30 pages weekly.
They do this for the entire forum. The concentration level required for the entire forum is extremely high, so much so that and rarely get time to participate, or even have a
nature break.
After they have done that work they then forward the notes to the website scribes for checking and formatting before uploading to the site.
The editing an uploading takes another hour or more of a scribes Real Time.
