All of us have noticed the digusting about of spam on this website as I had posted in an earlier thread and that is why I am reccomending that we get more moderators to control and delete all of it. We also need to develop a strict spam policy that covers what is spam and what isnt. Please, if you would like, comment on this issue or reccomend a new moderator.
Thanks~

I would also like to see a few more moderators around. Stealthy can't do this all by himself

Yeah, I believe that is the issue right now, well getting more moderator I believe is pretty good, "Two heads are better than one"..

I agree, more Moderators wouldn't hurt.

I started a thread on this in the lounge area. The key is a forum upgrade. They are exploiting a hole and using automated spam bots. An upgrade will cure most of it.

Secondly, part of the key to successful moderation is having members pitch in - if you see spam, report the post!

I am willing to moderate also...

I think we need to have a criteria for moderators. They need to have a good long repuatation. Not to be mean, but we need to have mods that have more than 6 posts.

Post count shouldn't be a requirement. I actually used to have 80 posts but deleted them when I left for a little hiatus a little while ago. I had decided my presence wasn't appreciated here. I actually got cussed out by akula for asking a simple question. The guy has over 4,000 posts...but he would make a terrible moderator.

I actually run my own forum (administrator). We have 60 members now (just started it this month), and Alexa rank is at 400k, quickly climbing. I know how to use vBulletin in and out. I think I could make a pretty good, objective moderator.

I think why don't this forum have some kind of system or set of rules like :

1. To post any new thread need to have 25 posts.
2. All new thread need to be manually approved..

something like that.. i don't really thing having more moderators really solve the spam problems

I agree. There are better ways to solve spam problems on forums.
