We Need More Mods to Combat Spam Threads.

this actually isn't true
It's possible that some spammers might really enjoy piling crap on top of each other, but I think most spammers like to annoy other people and if people don't post on those threads, they don't get a rise out of it. There are places on the internet where you can say whatever the heck you want without consequence, so spammers would not go through the trouble of creating accounts on a website with moderation and then go through the effort to evade that moderation if their goal was not to p*** people off.
 
rule #1 dnt feed trolls

but srsly the best thing to do is report then just post on like 10 other threads to bury that s***
 
mods aren't machines they are people, some members should stop being too demanding.
if you have a problem with a certain thread then report/contact the mods and they'll always respond sooner or later, actions don't necessary need to be made instantly.
 
Being moderators is a difficult job with many responsibilites and zero perks. I mod for two sites and it is exhausting. My inbox is full all the time. One of the sites has over 2000 members and there are five mods, including myself, three in Great Britain and two here in the States. That means someone is usually always online. Make no mistake, it is a full time job. Manys the time I appear offline just so I can get some work done slogging through pm's and the like. It's difficult.

In the early '00s, I was a mod at a coupons/freebies forum. There were probably less than 50 active posters, so it was a very easy job. I mostly just moved posts around and edited links. I got a $200 gift certificate for Christmas one year as a reward for my help. The amount of work and the perks really just depend on the forum. I still believe that there aren't enough mods for a site this large.
 
I think the mods do the best they can. They do this as a "volunteer" not getting payed. They have other things to do thenrespond to 2000 pms all at once.
 
Seeing as the mods are volunteers, they really shouldn't be getting any of this ****. Yeah, if they actually got paid, it'd be understandable

I'm not hating on the mods I just feel like we need more for a site of this size
 
Honestly the best course of action is let the mods delete them but ignore that they exist. Continue the thread without mentioning them. They will get bored of not being paid attention to and move the heck on.
