There was no need to say "i came up with this idea" that dose not matter, i don't see you thread being posted in? So i doubt you did

That was no trying to start a fight lol

I was just saying I came up with the idea, as then people know where I get my views come, and since I guess I know more about first intentions than others?

And I am sure there is proof somewhere..

I posted years a go, but the idea was implemented not too long ago

BTW mwah, why would I lie about this idea, there has been far more known ideas than this one ;p

[Jorc]

I quite like it, the forum i moderate on always gets tons of spam bots. If someone is not online like 10 people report it and everyone is flipping out. I like the system here.

Since I came up with this idea, I guess I'll have an input.

It would be easier, but at the time when I thought of the idea, there were a lot of Bot's, some of which didn't get banend and posts removed until 4ish in the afternoon, as MOD's and SMOD's had work/education etc.

Now since the post moderation idea was implemented, virtually all the bots were wiped, as no one wants to have to actually post 15 times to get the chance to spam.

Anyway just my view

Couldn't agree more. Having worked under both systems I have to say this has been the best idea for years for keeping the forum clean especially of the bots.

Yeah the system is better but I personally think if I was a new member I would be really put off especially by the time it takes to get posts moderated (from what I've been told).

I seriously do not think that is true, Jake. They are checked very regularly. When I am on I check every few minutes. I will check now and see how many there are and edit.

Edit:
1 post.
0 threads
0 visitor messages.

I do think as well there would be complaints if they were delayed as well.
Possibly the only delay that could happen perhaps is overnight when GMT mods are in bed. I don't think that we can be expected to sacrifice our sleep or can we x

[Immenseman]

Yeah, like I said I can only speak from what I've been told. Obviously, you haven't been a super moderator for very long so if you're checking often enough then maybe that issue has been resolved which is good, obviously

Well from my personal experience I know a couple of the mods are very
concientious too along with the other Smods. I really agree though that it is something that should be given priority as new members are very important.
Matt and Garion keep an eagle eye on it

You have been told wrong Jake

I have actually tested this is the past and I have to say the moderation has been EXCEPTIONAL.

I was really impressed and all my test posts were sorted within 10 minutes.

Members that get put off from joining are silly if this is the case, as they do not realise how happy with te system they wil be after their 15 posts, if they use other forums without the system!

Even I pitch in with the post and thread approvals and you wouldn't believe the amount of crap we deal with.

Examples:

To our game players, the most important thing we care about is where to buy cheap Habbo hotel gold. So I have spent a lot of time finding the net. However I have got one from Google. At first, I could not believe what they said. Most of them said that they bought cheap Habbo hotel credit safely and fast. Then I just wanted to have a try to buy Habbo hotel gold from it. I contacted with them first and asked the price of Habbo hotel gold. To my surprise, the gold was quite cheap. Besides they provided live contact 24/7 and their service attitude was not bad. What’s more, they assure our account’s safe after my payment. So I think it is a good place to buy Habbo hotel credit from ****

it called http://habboxfansite.*******.com/ plez go on it is my fansite i didn't have to pay for it, but not hacking site as it is on a free hosting sever lol

There was another one that plain outright asked for peoples usernames and passwords to be sent to an email address.

So, no I think getting rid of the post moderation would just be a ridiculous idea. Yeah it causes a mild inconvenience for your first 15 posts but it is a hell of a good way to filter out the crap.

When we perm ban people, it prevents them from coming back on "OMGDZYOUGHEYS" and spamming the forums with "ZOMGSZ YOU BANS ME BUT IZ MADE ANUFFA ACCOUNTZ INNITZ ##### YOU GUYZ"

It prevents our forums from being spammed by the clever bots and it stops scammers from trying to scam new users on our forums.

So yeah it may take a little while to approve peoples posts but it takes us much longer to ban a user, fill in the ban log and create a usernote for them. Remove their unacceptable posts or go via the method of warning them and infracting them.

Then it does to say, "validate", "ignore" "delete".

Omg! Those examples were fantastic!

That will now clear up exactly what other members have said!

Fantastic post Jin, +rep
