what **** i don't see any ****
What issues exactly if you don't mind sharing? Most "issues" can be solved by other users outside of warns, ratings, and things that typically ought to be reported to begin with.
none of them involved other members of tbt. they were just things involving questions about collectibles, problems with my settings, and problems with the site glitching for me consistently. i asked other tbt members for help, but they couldnt really do anything and i contacted different mods. never got a response back and didnt bother sending another message. the problem went away on its own after a couple of days

I applaud the mods and admins for their hard work considering how many people are active on this forum. I've seen far less active forums (and I mean it's a rarity for even three threads to get created a day) with at least fifteen staff members. I don't know how these guys pull it off but it's truly admirable.
Anyways, the easiest solution is to just report. The staff can't be a hunt on spam posts all the time, they need help. It's why there is a report button, so that they can easily be alerted and handle it at a faster rate.

i get that the mods have lives and can't be online 24/7 and everything, but thats not the point of this thread.
The op just stated that we are in need of more mods, due to spam, alts, etc and it has little to due with the current mods
the point of moderators is to make sure the site is under control, and if there arent enough mods to work the clock, spam threads run their course and people get frustrated with the site.
the best solution is to hire more mods, not make the current mods be online more
(Justin gave us a good response already so maybe the thread should be closed anyway)

Eh, well quantity doesn't really mean quality and faster job done per se... Not that people ever will stop making alt or spam altogether I think they've been pretty fast to it lately, be it because of this or not.
Also well you can always point out that they should focus on those things rather than giving infractions for someone who just post something one-time in basement and not spamming otherwise.
Unless Justin and Jeremy and the other mods don't train newbies, the quantity =/= quality argument doesn't really apply here. A few more mods would help lessen the workload on the current staff and people wouldn't ***** as much "about staff y u no help".
@stardusk: Most of those issues sound like something users could probably help with, but I don't know the specifics and you say users couldn't help to begin with so idk. But there's a lot of pointless things mods get PMs about that could be easily solved by helpful users or a search.
Pssh. What do mods need training for? You just delete every post you don't agree with and ban anyone who p***es you off, right? Sounds pretty easy to me.
No because I probably didn't pay a whole lot of attention back then

That's actually not how it works at all. I was an admin of another forum and it was way harder than you think it is. It's not all fun and games at all, it's very serious. The mods have an important job to maintain just like everybody else. With such an active forum as this, I am pretty sure we are not seeing everything that they are doing since it's so huge. They are most likely doing lots of things that are benefiting the forum, but we don't see it because, well, we're not staff, and it's also too active to notice a certain thread's disappearance. Training mods are very important because they need to learn how to operate around the forum. It's not just one click and boom you're done, it's quite a few steps, so training is necessary.
There is a certain area under a user's profile where you can put all the infractions. That's how we used to do it at the forum I worked at anyways, maybe the staff here have a different way.

It really shouldn't be that serious because this isn't a real serious forum, the mods are not payed to do this so it's not like they should be expected to meet some extremely high standard, and no one is paying to use this site so if people hate the mods, they can just take a hike. For a forum like this, if a mod sees an idiot posting, it absolutely should be click, boom, done. It doesn't need to be a really tough job.
