Admin approval of first time posters

Do that and we can end this spam nonsense.

Simply stopping "open" membership and requiring that accounts be linked to game accounts would solve this problem.

[Chris Robet]

I'm up for monitoring.

Or recruit volunteer forum moderators from the community. I'd help.

i dont think we need this . because of people with grudges would be banning people because of getting killed to much in pvp

[Chris Robet]

I'm sure you would be getting the boot immediately if this happened. I understand your concern on that part.

[DEATHBRINGER210]

you see what i mean . you want to let zone chat in the policing of the forums . bad move to many in game grudges

[Ryker Vorton]

That's true, we need more moderators for the forums.

I've been mod for an online game in the past, for over a year... i wouldn't do that again even for 500 bits a day LOL **runs away in panic**

Agree with you Chris - as does just about every other modded forum on the net. I am a mod for two very large forums now and have been for 3 and 2 years respectively.

Both of them follow a tried and tested model. New/Junior mods have responsibilities for sub-forums. Those that stay the course and show a steady hand are invited to become all-area mods - if they wish to and can spare the extra time. They will in turn also keep an eye on the new intake of junior mods.

Over-eager admins or those with a heavy hand don't survive a week.

I agree. I'm a mod on a huge gaming site and I can say it's really not easy. It seems like it would be, but it's not. Almost every day I think about resigning. People can be so mean to each other, and then there's always the... spam in a can.

I agree with wjssmith-stopping open posting would eliminate most, if not all, of the problem.

"Mean to each other"?!
One of the forums I help mod is a large serving and ex forces forum. They'd spit this lot out without chewing.
