Should This Forum Have PUs As Mods? A lot of spam here lately. This forum is getting known, which means these creeps will be showing up more, not less. Why not have some Porn Users members as mods? I nominate Toadsith, he seems to be here often. | |

The thinking seems to be: the more, the merrier. PU wants as many members as possible. So unless a new member is definitely doing something wrong, such as spamming or posting fake reviews or whatever, he should be welcomed to the site. As regards Toadsith as a mod, why not, if he agrees? I think everyone respects the quality of his reviews and his posts. Drooler would be a good choice for another mod. He is here all the time, he's got brains, humor, knowledge, etc. | |

Thanks for nominating me, but I really doubt it would be much more effective than just having the PU staff do it. My non-porn plate has recently been loading up, and I wouldn't want to be the one who didn't delete spam soon enough. As I was saying (but it got deleted with the spam thread), we should just ignore the spam threads completely until Khan or Rick or whoever comes along and disses them. That means NO VIEWS and NO REPLIES. Once the spammers get it that we aren't paying ANY attention them -- and then the stuff gets erased -- they'll have no incentive to keep returning. Sure, this idea isn't going to work out perfectly. The feckin' spammers can stoke up the views themselves, though every view + 1 would be theirs alone. So it's worth considering no matter what might get done about who moderates. But if Toadsith is game for being the spam chucker, I think that would be great. And if the spammers are just something we have to live with for a few hours on occasion, well, that's the breaks. I'm sure we've all been through worse. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. Edited on Jan 24, 2009, 06:44am | |

I'm not referring to them. I'm referring to spammers. These are the people that spend all day posting junk in forums. And the best way to combat them is to make sure their posts are deleted immediately, or they'll come back if they see their posts lingering for hours. | |

Haha - thanks for the nomination, I am here a frequently, no doubt about that :-P Of course, in a sense, we all moderate the forum to a degree with the little report button. I'm pretty sure that button sends an email to Khan (and perhaps others) and usually gets Spam cleaned up pretty quickly. Spam reporting also has been helping my writing skills as I've been writing the reports in Limerick form :-P All things considered I think the forum is quite clean of Spam for the most part and everybody has remained quite civil and pleasant. Adding extra moderators might be a fine preventative measure, but so far I wouldn't say action must be taken. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

I tend to agree with Toadsith, imagine that! Khan and his minions do a good job of keeping the vermin out. So unless the celling explodes with new members posting and chatting I do not see any need for us to babysit ourselves. After all there is only a handful of regular posters here. One possible method might be to have people with less than say 5 posts have their new thread starts reviewed before posting live. This way they can be screened before they ever hit the public. Of course with would not interfere with the regular posters since many of us have hundreds of posts and more respectable members have at least a few posts. It would not mean a new member could not start a thread, it would simply have to be reviewed before posting. Just a thought.... ....but then of course they would just do something else anyway....the little bastards! >:( "For example, badandy400 has taken it upon himself to become the one man Library of Congress for porn with a collection that surely will be in Guinness Book of World Records some day." ~Toadsith~ PU Interview | |

Yes, they're like a little runaway HO-scale train heading for the table edge and the cinderblock wall. But they never quite get there. Too bad. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

I agree there. Anytime spam pops up and we reply Khan should just delete the thread. Or, perhaps if we really went off with some good stuff simply delete the spam and replace the first post with something like "Spam Was here" so we all know what it is we are going off about. On second thought.....just delete the shit and be done with it! :) I guess we are best with the current set up of telling the spammers to go to hell and then hit that "report" button. I guess the PU guys thought of everything!

I never said they didn't do a good job. I am not suggesting they make anyone here an administrator, just a mod. It seems appropriate that a PU should mod the PU forum. After all, they trust us to write reviews, which could have a detrimental effect on them. So what would the problem be? | |

Well, the weekend is nearly here again, and you spam-asses out there ought to know we're READY for ya. You know what I'm going to do when I see the next spam post on a thread? Nothing. And your stupid spam will get deleted and wasn't it worth it? I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |
