The Frontline - A group dedicated to help improve the forums as a whole.

I just thought, maybe Members should be able to lock topics, by voting, yes voting!

If you think about it, if someone has made a stupid thread, people could vote to lock it, and if maybe 30% of the total views vote to lock it, then it should be locked. This would stop spammers, and if a question is asked, and then answered, it can be locked before it gets riddled with flames.

Just a thought, may be useful to see implemented!

Or if a thread should be locked, you should contact a moderator. I wish people would stop coming up with things to make us useless. :(

Awwww, don't cry....

I was thinking this could merely be a system so you have less work to do! Alternatively, if there were no Mods on, and a topic needed locking, this could be utilised as well.

Well do you want to lock a topic now for me? It isn't full of spam, it doesn't have any flamers, it's merely finished with.

Well apart from that, why make a duplicate account to that of a Moderator? They have unique logos...

And a whole load of ones who aren't. In voting, majority rule wins. When the majority are blundering halfwits who prefer to see random, worthless spam than half-decent topics, it's not going to work very well.

But at least 30% (your suggestion) would just say that a thread should be locked, even if it is good.

Add the email above to your MSN to contact me with emergencies on the forum.

You can always PM a moderator, and in an emergency, some moderators make their IM information availiable.

Anyway, such a system could be abused as well. I like a shared Karma idea myself.

No.

You're all about as trustworthy as a shifty looking man in a mac wearing dark sunglasses selling used cars in an alley.

except for like 10 people...the ten who haven't lost their sanity...or never had any to lose. I thankfully know a few well, but they're slipping away all too fast.

How can one tell which mods are online without opening up Profile pages?

And this would work, if only the majority of members here were sensible. However...

And Recon Munber 54 is banned now, right?

I'd have to disagree with the idea. Some forums have their little cliques; with their group they could have somewhat moderator-like power. I don't trust that.

Every thread I have PM'd to a moderator has been dealt with swiftly, effieciently, and bloodlessly (or so I'd like to hope). You can also contact them through Google Talk* or (if need be) the IRC.

*You have to be invited to Gmail; a feature is Google Talk.

I think it could work if you needed 90-95% consensus and 10-20 members minimum in favor of teh lock to close a topic. That way, a post is not likely to suffer abuse.

Or at the very least, have an auto-report button next to posts. If something is out of hand, press the button. If enough people press the button, it sends a PM to the appropriate moderator (namely who is currently online). Then BAM: down comes the hammer of doom, and everyone is happy.

I've seen this on another certain Halo website; it's really effective.

I'm not that active, but never dead.

There's a reason why in most countries of the world the age to vote is over 18.

That's another website. This is Bungie.net. Big difference.
