While on the Netgear forums (trying to sort out something with my router) I noticed that in order to post a thread, it must be cleared by a moderator. Threads could also be edited, to take out any stupid(for lack of a better term) material. While the Netgear forums are empty compared to B.Net, I think this would be a good idea.

Particuarly in the Flood, the mods could delete a thread before it had a chance to rear it's ugly spamalicious head.

The bad sides of this, is that in order to make the forums going fast, there would have to be a lot more moderators, and in high volume forums (aka Halo 3) there might be too many threads coming in for them to handle.

Now that I come to it, this might not even work with this forum-type-thing. But, if it could, this could help clean up the forums tremendously.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

They would need like 10,000 more mods to do this. I personally don't think its worth it.

Well, personally, I don't think there is much of a spam problem anyway. Making moderators clear EVERY thread before it it submitted to the main forums would just be too troublesome.

Maybe for forums like The Library, but the H3 Forum wouldn't stand a chance.

It would eliminate spam, but remember posts are created on bungie.net 24/7. Plus there are a hecka lot of them, which would require moderators to be on all day, plus getting a whole lot of them

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

That has already been suggested ahd shot down because it would take about 100x more time and effort to do that than our current system. It's far more efficient to take out the few bad posts than to approve all the others.

If I am not mistaken, this idea has been pitched before. And as before, this is not going to end well. The one problem, is that there would have to be more moderators. And that moderators would have to be online nearly 24/7. The big problem here, as in the bigger picture, is that there truly isn't that much spam on the forums. I admit, sometimes it can be pretty drastic, and there are mounds of spam. But at other times, the forums are good; no spam. Not to mention, mods would interact less with the community. Hell, they hardly even get their fair share of posts in at the time being. So, as before, to this idea I say no. Mainly because it would be more work for the moderators, and that is all they need.

It would work if we had 20 moderators from each major bungie.net member country. So we'd have around the clock coverage.
