maybe we need a waiting period. hopefully only one to four hours

Flood control would be a nice start, but the current spammers are going unchecked. A few have been posting for days now without being banned.

Can't we name a new moderator? Heck, I'd do it!

I'm not sure how that would help, either.

One thing that I would recommend is to limit the amount of topics people can create and the messages they can post for the first little while. I'd probably recommend allowing only one post per day for the first day, and for the first week 1 topic per day and 5 posts.

Granted I don't know if this board even gives us the ability to set that up.

We may need every trustworthy oldbie on moderation duty. If this is war, having more boots on the ground is one solution.

I've been away from forums for a few days.

When you flag them, that helps me a lot, specially if the spam is in already active thread, because those are harder to spot. So thanks.

Since I seem to be the only one currently dealing with it, yeah I think that another pair of hands could help. Ask Kelly, I'll back you up.

Heh. Thought so...

Mods can't ban anyone, and that's a problem if the admins are away.

For the record, my powers do not extend past the boundaries of Comic Pitching.

Orgies, orgies, we want orgies!

Wait. Admins. I meant to say admins.

Okay, I'm getting there.

Ahaugen and TiPhil should now be "standard" mods of GD. McDuffies I'm giving the ability to ban as a "full" mod. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks!

Really? I thought you were made a mod of GD when I was.

Yeahduff · Post by **Yeahduff** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 2:43 pm

Nah, I might've been away from the board while this was happening but even after we talked about global mods, I never got any more jurisdiction.

Ti-Phil · Post by **Ti-Phil** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 5:11 pm

Thank you, I'll try to pass here every day to check if there's spam.

McDuffies, for your first act as full mod, I'd like to recommend the banning of blibiscuiny. This one account has been responsible for a large majority of the spam and it still hasn't been blown up.

and while we're making request, could you get rid of these posts? Ta.

McDuffies · Post by **McDuffies** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 4:16 am

Still figuring out some kinks here, I'll get to it as soon as I can.

Ti-Phil · Post by **Ti-Phil** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 5:03 am

Might as well add Wolekiiosacs to the list of spambots.

Terotrous · Post by **Terotrous** » Sun Feb 06, 2011 11:00 pm

Wow, the forum is actually looking pretty good right now. The only type of spam around is the kind that comes in a tin.

Do you think it's too early for the "Mission Accomplished" banner and photo-ops?
