Am not sure if it is already here. I think that runs the risk of our already rampant spamming problems even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moderators should up their game should that happen. As the forum grows, there is need for employing more moderators to oversee the activities of the board.

Right now @DC moderates the forum pretty much by himself and he does it well... but he obviously can't monitor it 24 hours a day so a lot of BS slips through the cracks.

I believed many members will volunteer to moderate the forums for free. I wouldn't mind moderating one forum category. If we get 5 or so volunteers, the spam issue will be well under control. My thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that and know you mean well by the message but you joined the forum 10 minutes ago and have 5 posts. There are many many members who would be considered for a moderator spot ahead of you. Again, I appreciate everyone's feedback regarding moderators...I'll move forward with something very soon. I know I have been putting it off. Crazycrab and bomb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 @DC made a choice today, and it was a good one. Hopefully the one extra mod is all the forum will need. But as @Crazycrab said, there are several of us willing to lend a hand if we’re needed. DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Something that may help could be to post a thread, you would probably have to put in its own locked category, of do’s and don’ts when signing up. Tell people that if they want a good experience here that they need to hold off trying to sell their shit until at least their second post. May be a crackpot idea, but it’s a thought.

DC Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 We have it here and I have a tool that automatically PMs new members 24 hours after their registration that goes into more detail. @Shagger and I have a few things in the works too.

Knight Plug Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Can I have my name changed to Candy Stick? I would rather give up my current alias. Been getting pestered and would prefer to use a new nickname online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Is there a way to get the main page to stop loading old articles? I've been trying to get to the bottom of the page, and all it does is bump me up so it can show articles I've either read already, or are old enough that I'm just not interested in.
