So, I can set it up where I can allow other users to "manage spam"
That is, I can make it so they can give infractions to people, warnings etc. Which essentially means they can ban them from the forum.
They can also delete threads \ posts
Now, before you say ME ME ME ME.. I am still debating the need for this. I can see some abuse going on here as well, so I need to be very careful who I allow and if I allow this.
lol this could get sticky...
Can you allow us regular users to report spam to the Spam managers?
You already have that option, lower left below every post... There's a triangle with a ! in the middle of it
How bout you just shut down the chatbox altogether? Then stop giving people points for posts also.
Moderators control the chatbox.. This is for the actual forum.Quote:

I think its needed. You got people that just write like, "yeaaaaaaahhhhhh I hate thattttttttttttttt" Just to get 30 characters. I think you also need to raise the character limit. 30 characters isn't going to give a response to something. If they actually want the points, they need to put in some effort. The people that don't really care about the points are the ones putting in the effort, and something needs to be done. Theres people that just write stuff that doesn't even mae sense, and those people should be giving a warning. The next step should be a 1 day ban of posting . 3rd should be one week. And after the 4th infraction should be permanent.
You should report those posts...Quote:

Who wants to keep on reporting spam for every spam out there and have nothing be done. I think it would be great to have managers for it but who would be part of that? Some of the moderators or regular members? You would need someone thats on the forum a lot and also trustworthy.
The posts usally get deleted, but their 5 points is probley already spent, and its not like any have been banned from posting
They get a warning when we infract and delete the post, they may even lose the 5points, I think they do.Quote:

Yeah they do.Quote:

I will say, when I see them in my email, I do go to that post.Quote:

I like the idea, it just seems hard to police the issue. Maybe 3 spams on the forum gets you a month ban from receiving points for posts?
I just need to make sure its not abused
Alright.. If you are interested in becoming a spam manager let me know.
Powers Included:
- Deletion of posts
- POSSIBLY Including infractions (Warnings to the users)
I am going to look into an upgrade where if we delete your posts as spam, you lose 5 points
Ill do it.. just for the sake I can clean up the threads where Im staking and selling/buying action with money involved.Quote:

More applications necessary!
unfortunately not everyone is from english speaking country or did you forget that???
