Make me a moderator
Moderator: Moderators
Make me a moderator
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

Re: Make me a moderator
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)

Re: Make me a moderator
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

I vote yes... and also death to spambots.
Re: Make me a moderator
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.

I think you would be a fair moderator.

Forum moderators aren't related to lobby moderators, or at least, they shouldn't be.Nemo wrote:Pro: like the majority of the community admin/mod staff, FLOZi hasn't played in months

so why isn't flozi a moderator yet??!?!?

IIRC all forum moderators are also lobby moderators.Jazcash wrote:<_<Nemo wrote: Pro: like the majority of the community admin/mod staff, FLOZi hasn't played in months

@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

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

Don't their links generally go to the company they are working for?
Re: Make me a moderator
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.Jazcash wrote:If PHPBB wasn't so out-dated they'd be decent MODs to combat spamming of any kind.

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
