i dont know about you guys, but i think spam is getting out of hand. if ya dont believe me, check out new mombasa. im only saying this because i feel there should be drastic changes, but the only ones i can think of are these:
all topics have to be checked by a MOD. the only problem, MOD shortage. it would take too long, and MODS arent always around.
all new members have to be checked by MODS. this makes sence, because there generally arent that many new members, and the wait will be worth it (if your not a previous spammer)
any other ideas?

OK. I'm here. My opinion on these ideas: No. We do not need any more mods at the moment. We can handle it for now. There are seven of us, after all. As for giving people "semi-mod" powers, well, this has been suggested, and I (and most of the people who you actually suggested for such powers) am opposed to this, because it gives people the impression that they are powerless, and won't respect them, because they're only "a semi-mod". As for "shifts", I'd hate to be expected to show up at a set time every day. We have lives too! The fact that we have most time zones covered (I'm from Australia, goweb's in the UK, and the others are scattered around the US) helps out in this regard - we can basically patrol the forum for most of the day. Don't worry, we're going to get more secret powers at the next site update, so that we can ensure that some people [b]never[/b] return. Ever. - Reiginko
