it might be possible to give some of us the authority to delete inappropriate posts/topics, without getting any of the other powers like editing member titles...

I'll think about it, but really, this forum is tiny. It's the big forums that need to appoint moderators.

We're big enough to get spammed, anyway...

On a deeply random tangent I have stumbled across what may just be the awesomest thing ever - if Zeke and I were to have offspring, this is what it would look like:

PHJ, you just killed a little of me inside. I hope you're happy.

Define "big forum." Define "we need X members to get moderators."

I hate the idea, but we may need to have a doubled e-mail confirmation system. Register at the site, mod e-mails to confirm address, person e-mails to confirm their desire to be in the forum, mod e-mails a keycode to enter in the forums itself. Would that help?

Under normal circumstances I'd say "Nah, Antony's working on it; it'll be fixed in a jiff," which is also the other reason I don't see a need for moderators (once the spambot thing is over, they'll have nothing to do).

Under normal circumstances, that is. But PHJ has made his point effectively: I hereby appoint him an unofficial moderator in charge of making sure the forum member "PointyHairedJedi" never, ever posts that link again.

Woohoo so that means Fifth Voyager's forums are big enough too.

No no, that's not right *shakes head* I'd imagine it's a forum/sites that's high up in the search engines, no no that's not right either but it's better I'll admit. Nah it's got to be how old the site/forums are, FV.net and er FM.net are a similar age. Ok I don't know

*slinks back into the lurker shadows*

Why in heaven's name hasn't anyone made a law that says that no one can post or cause to be posted anything that wasn't typed in specifically for that forum? We deserve a santuary from popups and spam every once in awhile, right?

Whoa, don't give them ideas. The farther away from the internet the government stays, the better.

Bowing to the suggestions of many, I'm going to appoint a couple of moderators for this forum to take care of spam threads. IJD is the first.
