Its a good idea but..... what if theres a time when all the mods are off and the spamers know it?


that's why you employ mods from different timezones [i.e. Trigger, Ash, Pezza etc] who are more likely to be online at different times of the day meaning almost all timeframes are "covered", so to speak.

If I'm on B.net, I'm usually on MSN at the same time. Simple enough.

There is a major problem with the technology. You could have someone abuse in an attempt to look good. Like get a friend to spam, then report it themselves. Also people would be annoying the moderators. As for the thought that it would aid spammers. The program to see if they are on already exists. It was said by the starter of this thread. So a spammer already knows then they are on. I think it would probably just be big hassle on the moderators to have everyone constantly pmming them. Idk it is a good idea though.

Hmm. Interesting. A bat signal ? MSN ?

I'll have to remember that.

2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Are people still throwing around the lame "spammers are going to know when the mods are offline and use it to their advantage" excuse? We already have a mod tracker and to my knowledge, nothing of that nature has happened.

I swear, people make excuses for every knew feature suggested.

Hehehe, you just described me a few months back when I didn't have MSN. The mods, from what they told me, do not mind all that much as long as you get straight to the point, link the thread, and say why you believe it is a problem thread. And try to not make very much small talk.

Have you seen the forums lately? Just last month it seemed like the forums were filled with spam. And for quite some time, the spammers stayed, and continued to spam the threads. Luckily however, a moderator; evilcam or Prophet if I am not mistaken, logged on just before it got bad. Then it happened again the next day. Besides that, most people have not idea about the Mod Stalker.

what is the hawtness

It is an overhaul of the site, basically ripping it apart and putting it back together making it look very cool. It looks hot, which is how the name,"The New Hawtness" game to be.


Now, I see both pro's and con's of this feature. In one sense I like it, in another sense I do not. I like it mainly because it is encouraging members to be helpful. However, it is bad for people that would abuse it. And yes Commander Santa, a blacklist would help. But what exactly would happen if thousands of people were to abuse it. Reporting a thread just because someone disagreed with them.

I do have an improvement to this plan that I have not read yet. I believe that many this feature should be automated. Not to see which mod is online, but to just send one private message to each moderator. Explanation, link, and the member that submitted the thread. It may look something like this:

Member: Commander Santa
Problem: A thread with spam.
Link to thread: Here.

or maybe even over a private message.
Member: M3 Roki7
Problem: Private message abuse.
Problem Member: Commander Santa
Private Message: You am noob.


This would work based off the private message being taken right from the private messaged received so that no interference with the message can be produced. Mainly just so someone cannot get the moderators to ban someone without a true problem.

That is my opinion anyway. As is said, just like any plan, this plan has it's pro's and con's. In my opinion, the pro's just barely out weigh the con's. I like it, If however someone were to abuse this tool, they should get the ability to report threads taken away.

There will always be spammers. Just because there is spam doesn't necessarily prove that the mod tracker caused it.

Point taken. However, don't you think it is odd that no moderators were on at the time? Coincidence maybe, it is just that that is what happened, and all we can do is assume.

Point taken as well. I guess it's possible that spammers might use it to their advantage. But we can say for the most part that there aren't that many huge noticeable changes in spam since the mod tracker was posted, right?

This seems like a really strange conversation...

Why has literally NO ONE directed him to the thing kd5shw made? This is silly.

Just use this?

Indeed. There has not been a major decrease nor increase in spam.

Spam seems to be cyclical. It comes and goes.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

In all I used to want one pm box for all the mods but now I am finding that MSN is the fastest way to get in touch with us. Normally I am on MSN the same time I am cruising B.net but not all the time. If you see me on I can easily log in and take care of the problem. All you have to do is add me. I am sure the same goes with the other mods as well.

I know I would. Just to be an ass.
