Are the confirmed posts really working?

Just look in the complaints forum and count the number of complaints on it.

Yes, To you users it seems like its all bad for you and for most of you who come here with no intent to spam ect it is. But the amount of members i have caught from auto ban without them meeting the 15 posts is just outstanding. To think that the posts they did would accually have ben on the forum would be terrible.

[Mr.Sam]

it wouldn't be terrible, the forum ran fine before the limit was in place.

Ye fair point there but surely its is betetr without spam bots posting all over the place.

[Mr.Sam]

Well the spam bots only really happaned once every few months, and were dealt with quite quickly.

Also the issue of smod should have moved it out of public view. Yes i agree there we should have but it is the holidays and not all smods are active.

We all do have lives as well thats why this holiday the moderation has not been as good as it should be because alot have been on holiday or socialising with friends.

[Mr.Sam]

I wasn't saying the mods are rubbish, just that the post confirmations were not needed at all, especially now mods can move threads to the dump and with 9 smods.

When we had 3/4 s mods we managed fine with adverts, I don't think it really matters if you have a few adverts on the forum for a few hours, no one buys the items being advertised and you just get funny replies to them.

I agree with you. I think if it isn't abolished then lowering it would be good. It's clearly making new users frustrated and would put me off.


I haven't registered on a forum with moderated posts before, but what are other forums like with it? (the limit on the number of moderated posts).

[Mr.Sam]

Yeah I know, but it's usually users that spam the porn which is quite rare... maybe one or two times a year?

It seems easier just to remove posts when you see them and then remove the user. Quicker and easier for the moderators/super moderators. Not sure why they do this :/
