[u][b]What is it/How does it work?[/b][/u]
This program finds each moderator's last post time and enters it into a database. Whenever a person accesses the site, a list is shown, organized by the last time a moderator has posted. The list is updated no more frequently than every 30 minutes.

Thanks to jmh9072 for hosting the site. The new modwatch can be found at [url]http://mods.kd5shw.com[/url]

The question has been brought up a lot. How do I report spam. Several answers are given. (gmail, irc, msn, pms) Each method has its own pros and cons, but the question that always comes up about the pm solution is how do I tell which moderator is online. Now we have an answer. I've given out this answer a couple times in the individual threads, but the threads keep popping up. So I've decided that I should create a thread about it so more people can see it.
First a link: [url]http://kd5shw.com:1000/mod.html[/url]
[u]So what is it?[/u]
It is a list of moderators sorted, using a program I wrote, so that the last moderator to sign on is listed first. In the same row as the listed moderator is the time they last had activity on bnet. This time is the time that bnet servers use. I believe that is UTC -8, but I could be wrong.
[u]How do I use it?[/u]
I'll give an example. Say you see spam on bnet. Go to the site I linked above. Any mod that is on in the last 5 minutes(this isn't an exact figure use your judgement) can be considered 'online'. Then click on the avatar of the mod is online. This will bring you to the profille. Click on message user and send the message you want. If more than one moderator is online you can message them too by going back and clicking their avatar. Sending to more than one increases the chance of action being taken.
[u]How well does it work?[/u]
It works about as well as the online indicators on forums. I don't have access to the what sessions have been ended by logging out so there is some delay there compared to something that would be built into the site.
[u]How did you do it?[/u]
I wrote a program that downloads the moderator profiles and looks at the time stamp on the page. The program then does a sort on the list of moderators. If you want the source or the executable/batch files so you can run a local mirror or just so you can follow the code here is a link to the source/executables.
[url]http://kd5shw.com:1000/code/modhtml/[/url]
Note that it uses information available to everyone on bnet. It just organizes the information.[/quote]
NOTE: KD5's post was not edited at all in the interest of preserving his thread, and it should be noted that his original links no longer work. Also, some changes have been made since the New Hawtness that makes some of the information he wrote outdated. Currently, the program uses the date and time that the moderators last posted instead of the date and time they last loaded a page because the "Last Login" times are no longer shown in profiles. Any mod that has posted in the last 30 minutes can be considered online. It would be best to PM the ones that have posted fairly recently.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jmh9072 I can't. Kd5shw owns/owned the domain. Until I can get a replacement, you can use [url]http://71.67.140.168[/url].[/quote] You should probably edit the first page with that then, Jake.... EDIT: By the way, when's that normal-member-stalker coming up? You said you were working on it, and I want to stalk normal people for once.... [Edited on 01.03.2008 2:03 PM PST]

But how are we meant to remember that? ;-) I love how some of the mods are changing avatars to recon images. Talk about rubbing it in! It is great! Also I have never seen nuchie before in my life. I never knew he was a mod. Well spotted Duardo! [Edited on 01.01.2008 8:33 AM PST]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jmh9072 Anyway, yeah. The site no longer displays the last active time, so the program can't work like it used to. I guess that wasn't clear enough in my post that I meant that they took out the last active [i]time[/i], but not the date.[/quote]Whoops! My mistake.

Thanks for posting this... :)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Duardo Think nuchie should be added to the list jmh? He is a Master Forum Ninja after all. He doesn't post much though. Also, I was rereading your OP, and I noticed how you said that you had to change the Mod Finder to when a Mod posts because the 'last login date' was taken out. However, I looked in the member area, and it says 'Last Active' under your avatar. I really liked the way this used to be, unfortunately you had to change it.[/quote] Yeah, I'll add him to the list.
