Yay! I have been waiting for this topic to come along, for some reason this forums always seems a bit more lively when we start discussing more moderators/less moderators/moderator abuse/....well....moderator stuffs. And to be honest, it is sad, but it is true.
To the point, well, the topic, I don't think we need any more moderators, the current ones are doing a great job. If more come along due to the decision of the web team, so be it, as long as they don't hurt the community, then they are good by me. Punishment is never the answer. Yes, it may help lead some to the answer, but it is not the answer. From you statement, saying punishment should be dealt more quickly, I say no. This would get those that get in trouble on accident, and we all do, a scare from the forums. At the moment, this is not what we want. If you see a spam topic, ignore it, that is all you need to do.
I, and I don't mean to sound rude, if I do, my apologies. I see this thread as self promotion Tom, I hate to say it, but I do. Only because of these two bits right here:
There are so many topics that I see and think "That needs to move" or "This guy deserves a short term B-list for hi consistent spamming after several warnings" and I see no action.
It is unbelievable and I personally think we need more moderators to counter-act the plague because currently we have at least half of them sleeping and have spammers coming in in the hundreds with no remorse.
I'm sorry, but from reading this, it sounds like you are asking to be a moderator, or at least suggesting that you should be a moderator.
