Make me a moderator

[FLOZi]

Pro:

I check forums regularly and hate spambots
I'm not that antagonistic to Forb anymore and Argh left years ago

Cons:

I am still a dick sometimes
Maybe we don't really need another mod but I'm just sick of clicking report instead of delete

Discuss.

[knorke]

i dont see why not.

btw clicking report on most spam is not that needed since most is superobvious mods see it anyway.. (but report if its there longer than a day or so)

[Jazcash]

Sure, seeing less spam would be nice. But if we were basing it solely upon your pros and cons you listed then most people would fit the bill

[FireStorm_]

I vote yes... and also death to spambots.

[Jools]

I like spam.

And No! You can't have the egg, bacon, Spam, and sausage without the Spam, because it wouldn't be egg, bacon, Spam, and sausage then.

So what?

I think you would be a fair moderator.

Forum moderators aren't related to lobby moderators, or at least, they shouldn't be.

IIRC all forum moderators are also lobby moderators.

@Nemo: I would if I had a working gaming computer! Finals are finally over! :D :D :D

I hate spambots as well, I immediately permaban them and delete posts but it doesn't seem to affect them :/ what we really need is more stringent forum sign up. Perhaps email verification if not already in place? A different form of captcha?

I'm not opposed to FLOZi being a moderator, I just don't think more moderators is an optimal solution to the spambots.

Its not bots doing the spamming, a lot of them are low wage humans

[PicassoCT]

I fear for the freedom of speech. How to discuss wiki-vandalisations now without getting hammered?

Couldnt we bribe them into revealing who they work for- so we can get back to those?

[maackey]

Don't their links generally go to the company they are working for?

If PHPBB wasn't so out-dated they'd be decent MODs to combat spamming of any kind.

For now, why not just set a user's first post to require moderator approval before they can post freely? That option's built into PHPBB iirc.

With a little bit of tweaking, you could even just do that but approval can be granted by a custom group of all the active members.

Perhaps your thinking of WordPress. There's an akismet mod for phpbb IIRC, it would be a vast improvement in spam control.

ps: I think the bit of a dick sentiment has a precedent in the gamble that was giving dasbruce mod power, I dont see any nuclear apocalypse debris since he was given it

[smoth]

no wordpress please, ever.
