Moderation in spam...

[jackass]

It's funny because you say what action you took and then say you can't take action :S Which one is the lie?! :S:S

We can take action against single posts/threads but we can't take action against it happening on a regular basis.

[Immenseman]

Can someone else confirm that? If that's correct then where the hell is the sense in that? Not an attack on you Biohazard but I can not see the reasoning behind "you can deal with singular threads but not if it happens on a regular basis"

Normal moderators cannot deal with constant arguments. It's only super moderators/higher ranked staff that can deal with things like that.

How's this the case? Unless staff members are involved I'm pretty sure it's well within a moderator's power to make edits and give out warnings/infractions (you know, those things which are your job to do).

As for taking action against single posts, that wasn't happening either. I'm not saying mods should be on 24/7 but maybe we need more who come on late night, either one of us insomniac types or someone foreign who's around at that time, because nothing gets done at night and then of course things escalate until everyone gets infractioned in the morning.

moderators can only infract they can't exactly ban anyone unless it's automatic, smods can BUT I DUNNO, if both mods and smods had the same jobs there would be no need for the two different "titles" :S:S:@:eusa_wall:eusa_wall:8:eusa_whis

As far as I am aware the bullying and insulting etc can be dealt with by normal moderators. If they see that something is getting out of hand they still deal with it but let an Smod know so that people who are consistantly breaking rules can get a kind of "final warning" about it which would mean if they continued they would get a ban which is Smod stuff. However normal mods can deal with infracting indivdual posts.

I know the rulebreaking last night took a while to be dealt with and I think it was just unfortunate circumstances in that most of the Smods were/are away and perhaps even moderators of that section too.

I think that there ought to be maybe 1 or 2 more Smods to help a bit as at the moment it's a bit like 1 person is away and the other 2 spend ages trying to keep on top of everything but obviously that's down to forum management.

Yeah I thought they could deal with it. Jen, I know that they do different tasks, lol. Where did that come from girl?! It's not that I'm saying I want moderators to be online all the time just someone actually actively moderating spam would be nice and if the current moderators can't do that then give the job to someone like Kardan who is active and posts in there a lot anyway.

lol when mods are strict in spam you're all like
"ahh nazi mods -moans"

The moderation team try there hardest Jake, but I do have to agree with you they can't do everything, and the lack of Moderators in the Spam section is apparent. Your suggestion of giving it to someone like Kardan, will most likely not solve the problem as that means Kardan, or someone like Kardan, would have to constantly be on to just check that section. I think there should be more than one dedicated Moderator for spam, as it is the most active Forum, and also the one where bully's target. So, yeah I agree there is some flaws that need addressing, as the current Moderators team, no matter how hard they work, cannot handle that section.

[Samishlol]

They need more moderators for the spam forum.

well i'd personally rather strict than an evident lack of moderation even if you did just make that up on the spot.
