Looking for forum moderators

spwolf

Hi guys/girls,

we are looking for 2-3 forum mods that can delete these spammers as soon as they arrive. We try to delete them as soon as we notice them but we are here only 20 hrs a day :D.

So we need 2-3 mods just to moderate spam.

Only other option would be to moderate actual posts, which means everyone will need to wait for their posts to be approved which is no option really. We appreciate user feedback and would never do that.

thank you!

So you want people for up to 4 hrs per day or … ?

not specific time, but that they login in several times per day and if they see spam, just remove it and ban spammers.

I’m here pretty regularly and often see these spammers before you guys because of the timezone I’m in…count me in if you need another set of eyes guys…:)

skypx

I’m available if needed.

Luxor

I’m available most of the time, health permitting.
And would gladly give my time to keep these annoying spammers at bay.

I report plenty of them through the report function, so it would be no trouble to go that extra step.

spwolf

thanks guys… I took Terry’s question as voluteering too :-).

I will figure out how to set it up and let you guys know!

TBGBe

Yes, but not 24/7/365 :p

I dont mind volunteering! I check PA At home and at work during the day! as well as recently warning and red carding spammers! Give me the ability to delete them and I will be more than happy to assit!

@Sir:

… Give me the ability to delete them and I will be more than happy to assit!

Some posts are obvious spam, but some may be questionable and I would propose a “quarantine” rather than immediate delete - just in case. :p

Note: There is a need to monitor replies (as well as new threads) without “destroying” the existing thread.

spwolf

there is easy way to simply select post and delete as spam, bam user, without affecting rest of the thread

spwolf

okay, so all of you + amh are now mods as well… you should be able to select any post then click on delete post as spam in moderation dropdown and it will give you easy option to delete all posts by user as well as ban him (indefintly).

this is of course to be done only with spammers :-).

and thanks a lot

TBGBe

Cool :p

Luxor

Spammers beware.

Ignore just spotted the drop-down menu :rolleyes:</deleted>

That’s pretty good Luxor, the first moderating you had to do was on yourself.

Luxor

Well you know what they say, practice makes perfect. :p

Guess I’m the slow moderator…… All I see is the infraction/AluminumHaste button. I’ve been looking but I don’t see any options to delete a spam post.

moles42

not seeing this buddy?

skypx

No, not even close. This is all I see.

moles42

a slight oversight on admins part then maybe…you’ve possibly been overlooked…:(
but I’m sure it will be rectified as soon as they return to read this…:)

damn buddy…can’t leave you out of the team !

spwolf

Thanks guys! Now I’m ready for them.

skypx

Wow, I think the spammers have packed up and left town! :eek: I’ve been checking regularly but there’s nothing to “moderate”.

spwolf

there was a lot of porn yesterday

Really!!! I can’t believe I missed it! Wow, free porn…… my wife really could not get mad since…

spwolf

When you delete some post, use delete as spam, as it will give you option to ban user as well (and always ban people who post spam).

thanks!

RJWaring

I dont get spammers! i really dont. In work we get loads of Spam mostly for viagra and it all comes from China!

Our IT Department also don’t host any brains so we never get at moderation on spam.

I think its a fantastic idea to have a group of moderators as for any new prospective customers it doesnt give a could impression if your Support Forum is full of Porn or links to pills etc.
