I didn't say that Forum Cops were something else...did I?

But Yoozel, how often are there not moderators on at all? I would venture to say that mods are not on during the wee hours of the night, when almost everyone is asleep anyways.

Perhaps a stricter punishment for those who obviously try to abuse the lack of moderators at any one time. But hey, those are just my crazy ideas.

But the wee hours of the night for, say, TGP is the afternoon for Shishka.

True. I believe that the moderators are fairly well spread out on the globe.

We are very spread out and in all different time zones, but we have taken a small hit since Reiginko left us. (Tear) But overall we do cover the forums a lot more effectively, you know… since we kind’a upped the Moderators from three guys too… like ten actives?

We have our days were we aren’t covered so well, but at any given time I’d say we’re at a decent shape that nothing major can get out of hand without someone being on it soon.

My bad Mabian, I thought you said something else. Well you guys do a great job when it comes to making the forums safe from basically everything bad.

Actually... aren't I the only mod outside of America?

Anyway, if you're talking about the wee hours of the American morning, it's usually late afternoon/evening for me, and I'm mostly on. That, and the fact that dmbfan always moderates during work hours, the mornings are usually well covered.

Goweb isn't in America, I believe.

But yes, the mods do a great job of covering the forums.

Actually... he's in the U.S. right now. I believe his home is in the UK though. I never really asked as to why he's here, I just know that he's here.

Perhaps I should have explained that I was meaning the night for myself. At around 11:00 Pacific (Bungie) time, the forums grow very slow. I normally see either Recon or Yoozel at around this time. *Shudder* Though I do agree that sometimes the worst come out at this time as well, though I would also say not often. *Shudder* Very bad indeed...

And ODST, I was merely saying I did not know how long the list of Forum Cops is, or who the people on it are. I know a few of them though.

That doesn't seem very polite :P

GoWeb is in the UK.
Reginko used to be a mod but you now took his place.
Impurity is in the service so he could be anywhere at a drop of a kevelar.
Everyone else I think is in America.

Goweb isn't the only moderator in Europe, is he? I know that he and TGP are outside of North America, but I could've sworn that there's at least one more.

PS. I'm pretty sure, besides Goweb (who is in America at this time) I'm the only moderator outside of the States.

Ok, I know for a fact that goweb is currently in America. I don't know why, and I don't know when he's going back to the UK (which is where he actually) but I'm completely positive that he is in the US. He is the only mod from Europe, sarge.

Considering that all the mods (besides TGP) are in the US, they certainly do a good job of keeping the forums clean. Bravo!

I usually just PM the last mod I saw post. But occasionally, I have the same problem, where no mod has posted recently(that I have seen). So, I email [email]bnetmods@gmail.com[/email] as others suggested. It isn't always replied to, but it is easy to tell if a thread gets locked/deleted. I can only assume it was from my email.

And the online thing. I think someone mentioned why it's a bad idea. Because it's not good for spammers to know when no mod is on.

These problems would be easily solved with my Spam Queue idea.....

Well, I'm in Canada... that's outside the States. Alas that doesn't do anything for the timezone spread as I'm still in EST. (GMT -5:00)

-- Steve will throw in a plug for the bnetmods email address here... as he really doesn't do the chat/IM thing.

Yeah, goweb is here in the states. Studying abroad maybe?

TGP - do you know Reigi personally? Because it would be absolutely ridiculous if you ddin't. Remember kids, living in the same area as another moderator and knowing them personally helps. (stosh + chris; Reigi + TGP)

Well, VII Toast lives not to far from where I live. I live in Louisiville, Kentucky; he lives in Greenville, Kentucky. Would it help if I got to know him or something?

No I don't. I didn't really know him for that long and never saw him around. Although I DO have his address and phone number, and could easily go there...

But he's not a mod anymore, so it doesn't matter. XD

Ah. I thought there was one more outside of North America, but I guess I was thinking of Reiginko (who, as we all know, is sadly no longer with us).
