First off, the easiest is to ban all the morons. That being said, lets get on to the main one.

I say we have a special type of moderator, with their moderating powers restricted to The Flood only. They would have a special member title, and a special font color. Their tools would be simply be, locking threads, giving warnings and 3-7 day bans. They would be tasked with moderating The Flood, strictly, and getting peoples act together. They would only be mods for a period of time or untill their job is done.

The people would have to Flood regulars, since they would know how things go on in The Flood. The amounts of bans and warnings should have little effect on who is chosen, because just about every Flood regular has been blacklisted at least once. They should be well trusted just so we are sure that they won't abuse their powers and tools. For example, giving Pillage moderating powers would be disastrous.

I hope you take this into consideration, and feel free to comment.

You're saying Flood regulars should be given powers? That's really funny. You're giving Flood "clique-leaders" who think their poop doesn't stink another reason to act like they're better than everyone else.

No thanks.

The Flood isn't a special forum. All the heavy traffic forums deserve about the same amount of attention. Our current mod group does just fine as it is.

Not all of them, some of them are actually mature and intelligent, unlike the sterotypes that the majority of Septagon regulars impose on us.

IF your not going to post something constructive, don't even bother.

The problem is we don't get the same amount of attention. All the mods are up to their knees in the lost Halo 3 forum, if they can't spare anyone, just give temporary ones.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Are you serious? Did you not even bother to look at the front page before posting? There's already a thread that says almost this exact same thing right at the top of this forum. It even has a clear and descriptive title.

So basically, you only want people that agree with you to post?

Do you think I'm stupid. Of course not, I think instead of simply saying it's a bad idea, that you could give suggestions to make it better.

Not using that idea at all is a start, tbh.

There will always be spam in any forum, the best you can do is report the thread/post or contact a moderator personally and s/he will deal with it.


Are you implying that TDW actually moderates? :P

Do you not do the same?

He said "forums" implying all of them, not just The Flood. Quit trying to come across as a victim.

Who said I'm trying to be a victim. I'm just saying what I have observed.

You're basically getting butthurt about a problem in The Flood that The Flood is creating. People are making spam posts and you people feel the need to reply to it. Flood Regulars even reply to it. The Flood deserves no special treatment. The other handful of people who have posted obviously agree with me.

HATERS GONNA' HATE

You're suggesting the idea of, "mini-moderaters," with powers restricted to one forum. Wouldn't it be best to give them acsses to all forums?

This idea is completely based around the assumption that each forum is a separate community and should be treated differently from the others, and that's why it doesn't work.
