I think a better way to combat spam would be to organize the moderation better. If a certain amount of moderators are assigned to certain forums, they have just one thing to focus on while not having to worry about the patrolling elsewhere. What do you guys think?

I'm not that active, but never dead.

It's already been asked, and it's all ready been discussed. Not going to happen.

This should help answer why.

"Whatever exists, whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent. These anonymous creatures may seem little or nothing in the world. Yet the smallest crumb can devour us. Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth."

This would most certainly work if the mods were on a lot. But they aren't. Sometimes there are rule-breakers in all of the forums, and only one mod online. That mod has to take care of it all. If that mod were meant to moderate one forum, then they wouldn't be able to go to any other forum, because that would be another mod's territory.

Plus, those who moderate the other forums would never get to know how well we make fun of them here in the Septagon.

Good point, sorry for recycling.

Recycling is a good thing.

For Carnage, Apply Within.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

And let's not forget the Mods are still human (most of them) and would get quite bored of moderating one forum for the rest of their lives. Yes... they're here for the rest of their lives...

Why question them and try and think of new ways for them to do there job when they are doing great right now? Why mess with success?

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

No. It would do mor ebad than good. Let's say there's a flamewar in New Mombasa, but the only online mod has been assigned to The Septagon. What then?

There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

Don't think I could have said it better myself. But really, I would feel extremely bad for the poor soul who would get assigned to Zanzibar. That is against the 8th Amendment.

Why does everyone say Zanzibar? I know we're not supposed to brand forums/users, but we all know visiting Optimatch is equivalent to suffering the pain of Dante's Inferno.

No, you're right, the Optimatch one is getting pretty bad too. Especially now with the new gametypes. But before that, Zanzibar was the 8th level of hell. Screw Dante, I'm making a new level.

Why assign them? They could just lock spam/off-topic/flame-war threads as they browse the forums. They could also just check the less frequented boards once in a while.

Ok, we’ll take assigned forums at the expense of your wallet. We all demand $20.75 an hour, with health and dental to cover our assigned forums…

How the Moderating Team works as a team is not up to the general public to decide upon. We will continue to work how we do unless Bungie says something to us or gives us a new directive.
