Mod Workout.
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?
-
New members couldn't be checked. They get about 400 every day. And there are a [i]lot[/i] of topics. And the moderators have lives, they can't spend all day on here.
-
Heh, I ask myself, would [b]I[/b] feel like approving every new member in exchange for being a mod? Hell no, so I'll bet our current mods wouldn't want to do that since they already are. Do you know how many mods we'd need? 50 would do, but it would get really boring.
-
ok, but we can wait like a day for confirmation. whenever a MOD is on, he can check who joined, and approve them. it would work, but MODS wouldnt be as active in the forums. thats the only downside.
-
Right, the mods spend all their time checking people before they can enter the site, which in turn means that all the forums get spammed because no one is there to lock the topics.
-
This is kinda drastic, but I think it would work: Take a few of the best users like Rip Saw, Eagle 117, Chaplian, Maybe Shai Halud and give them anti spam options they would have to be really trusted by the mods though. like if they saw spam before the mods they could do something to keep people from replying to it till a mod could look at it i dunno though something does need to be done though
-
another idea is if the mods are overtaxed with spam they could give certain mods shifts Yoozel and shishka handle morning stuff Maka and Reiginko handle afternoon stuff etc, etc.
-
spam is really pissing me off. check out new mombasa. SPAMS EVERYWHERE!!! we need to find an efficient way to get rid of it. my ideas are crap because its too much work. but seriously, we need a solution.
-
get the mods on here see what they think we might even get Achronos if we come up with something really good
-
when i was looking at new mombasa there was exactly 600 posts. [quote] Pages ... 4 5 6 [7] 8 9 10 ... of 600 [/quote] anywho, every page i saw had spam on it. it was insane!!! what enjoyment do they get from spam? all anyone sais in them is "dont spam." "Locked in 3...2...1.." "your a retard." whats so funny about that?
-
i PM'd Reiginko so let's think of more solutions Rip Saw, Captain, you guys still there? [Edited on 8/9/2004 9:31:35 PM]

I f worst comes to worst Bungie could always create a spam filter that looked for certains keywords or something else and then decided either to block it or run it by a mod or someone else who the mods trusted to decide those sorts of things. People would probably find a way to beat it but it might help solve SOME of the spam problem.
-
anything will help

[url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=469203]Read this stuff, if you have the time.[/url] Yeah, I'm still here, I was reading Eagle 117's new theory in New Mombasa. I think Rip Saw left.
-
i think we should have a spam thread. a thread where spammers can spam and special MODS for the forum, because it will be filled with crap that needs to be put down. thats probably the best idea ive thought of.
-
yeah basically we need more mods or stricter spam rules like 1 screwup and youre gone that kinda stuff
-
A spam thread will encourage spam. Besides, they won't post in there anyway. If the rules are to spam, then they won't follow those rules either.

[quote] by:Yoozel think a two day waiting period for accounts would be nice. It would allow the user to be active in posts all ready on the boards, but not post topics for the first two days. That way for us mods, we would be able to catch them early if they are trouble makers. [/quote] YES!!! i hadnt even read that yet, and yet i thought up the same thing!!
-
wonder if the mods are gonna reply? especially if there's that other spam topic Captain found

Get say 2 dozen people and give them the power to (as you said) lock or suspend a spam thread or post and then alert a mod to it and have them make a final decision. I thik that's a good idea. BTW I heard that there were going to be some new mods soon, whether or not that's true I don't know. I hope it is though because you guys are right the spam situation has gotten out of hand.

Nope, no new mods, just new tools to fight the spammers.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MCs Brother yeah basically we need more mods or stricter spam rules like 1 screwup and youre gone that kinda stuff[/quote] Nah, that's a little harsh. I say give em one warning and then ban them, because some people (myself included) have made mistakes when they first joined.

and that's just not enough to handle the level of spam were getting -
yeah youre right hell, I got warned by Achronos one time closest i ever came to getting banned
