If this is true - if she is "tired of coming back" - then perhaps she should resign. I was under the impression that she had already done that anyway, but it seems she still engages in supermod activities from time to time.

If a supermod resigns, shouldn't he/she be replaced? Between PT and NinjaPoodle (whom, regrettably, is rumored to have resigned), it would appear that we're two supermods light. Reading over this thread in its entirety indicates we've had a need for an additional (east coast) mod for years now. What can we do? Nominate someone?

It is up to John.

Then he needs to get on the ball. No disrespect intended, but I would think he'd want better for his site.

I did resign.

Until John changes my status back to regular member, I've popped in and out to clean spam. If you're on GC enough, why don't you volunteer for supermod? Just a thought.

A couple of us have volunteered to step up and help keep the spam cleaned both here and in the other thread

I'll do it. Does dude got y'all (super moderators) on some kind of payroll?

Nanners52674 · #**352** 03-25-2015, 11:51 AM

I don't think it's ever been this bad. I'd step up for East cost. I'm typically up early and have the time to frequently check in.

We don't need more supermods, we need the probationary status to work differently and not show on the main board. A spammer quarantine, if you will.

Yes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Absolutely right!!

I don't care if we have to do something like a 24 hour hold or whatever. Do it. If people really want to be members they'll go through the steps.

Actually, there are things you can set up in the vbulletin settings that are much more effective at stopping spam. I run a forum using PHPBB and used the techniques which totally stopped spam. Vbulletin has a way to set up questions during register (like what is 1 +1) that any human should be able to complete. It's totally stopped spam accounts from being created on my board.

I'm not sure how sharing information about how to stop spam via the built in methods the forum software provides is spam. But to each his own.

I'm not sure how you found this site -- don't give a shit LOL. But I would think administrator dude would know that, if it worked. Have a seat, home's.
