what happened to the mods?

[Pneumagger]

I think AO is mature enough not to need more moderators. Our mods are doing fine on the policing of posts.

However, there is just not enough mod coverage to manage the spammage as of late. In the time I left for work today, to the time I got here - I found 10+ new spams.

I'm not suggesting appointing new moderators... but maybe just a deputy moderator or something. Perhaps one or two people who will be on often and have limited powers to just recieve the spam reports and delete the threads. Then pass on the IP and name to a real mod for bannage. It doesn't even have to be a public appointment.

It's real easy to tell if a new junior mod is deleting anything other than spam posts - and it would make the forums alot cleaner.

/What do you at work when you don't want to do a mundane task... get/hire an intern to do it. Why can't moderating be the same - leaving the admins/mods to use thier precious little time to do real mod/admin tasks, not just endless spam hunting.

and is on enough to make a difference?

I thought I qualified until you got to that one...

new mods prob. won't happen cause anyone that is still here and in charge of Modding AO is blinded by the tenure of doing so. There was a time when all of the mods might have thought that this was the place to best spend their energy, this is not that time. many of the mods have left because they have lost interest and controling this place is not high on their life priority list. the problem is that most, if not all of those people in charge cannot accept the fact that there are a large body of people that are willing to devote the same focus and energy on these boards as they once did. What is old hat to the current mods is new and pertinent in the lives of others here, but you will never get the respect or cred you deserve with such a low post count or a post-2001 join date. It's a sad story, but you newer AO'ers are dealing with the last vestiges of a dying breed of AO leaders that are desperate to cling to the fact that "they rule AO" even if it means killling the good of AO for the future in the process.

all quite melodramatic, but i'm right.

Oh? I would say that is an excuse for people who do not earn respect.

low post count or pre-2001 join date has absolutely nothing to do with anyone gaining any repect around here. Have respect...get respected. I dont care if it is your first or last post. And there is no "old hat"...everyday is a completely new experience around here. Some good, some bad, some indifferent.

Oh no,
I have been lowering AO's standard's everyday with my pre-01 join date and high post. Cali you sound like a man who needs a hug, sersiously

Everyday is completely boring experience for the most part. I'm amazed you mods come here as often as you do. I'd fall a sleep on the keyboard if I had to scan through page after page of the same things said 100 times over. Insted of foolish ideas of replacing AO moderation staff maybe someone will write about something interesting someday again!
