Thread approval

[AustinReed]

This idea has come up before, and it was generally accepted that there aren't enough mods for this.

How many are there approximately?

Maybe we could consider just certain sections of the forum being moderated thread-wise. For example, the Constructive Speedcubing Discussion section.

We wouldn't have to worry about deleting them ASAP if you kids stopped posting in the damn things when they cropped up.

There's the other thing I was just thinking about.

Great idea. I was awake when the chicken thing happened and had my fun with it. The threads are started by newb users who dont learn their lesson after the first useless thread. Flyingfingers seems to be the most recent one. And i will admit that everytime i see one of his threads i click it to see if its worth spamming just because his threads are useless. But usually their closed already. This topic has been discussed many times and nothing gets done.

Andrew doesn't really count because I don't think he can give infractions and stuff.

About spamming: No. Absolutely not.

Like people said, not enough mods.

You assume too much or are poorly informed.

Also, stay on topic. If you think we don't like you, then we probably don't.

Your "fun with it" was one of the reasons why it didn't die and fall off the front page. Thanks a lot for that.

There should be a limit to the threads you can make in a given time frame.
Like one a week in a certain sub section.

I dont think all new threads should be moderated, only the ones by new and trouble making users. As Austin said there are not enough mods and most especially between the hours of 10 PM to 6 AM EST. I am on the forums constantly and am always on from 11 PM to 2 AM and sometimes longer. During the school days I check the forums occasionally when I am in a wifi area of the school.

I am not asking to be a mod but there does need to be more of them.

Sorry english is my second language.

I think one a week would be a little harsh. I would prefer one every 1-5 hours instead.

They should work out a time schedule. Have mods on as long as possible and have very small sections of time when their off. But this means more mods....
