Mods and Spam page

[IvyBlue]

I assume this is a thread that gets read once and a while, so I will post here.

I have no interest in moderating actual threads for content/politeness/whatever but I will gladly take a Deputy's badge to blast away at these goddam spammers. I have an odd schedule as it is and we have members from around the world so 24/7 coverage is more than feasible.

Clearly, the "worker bees" are not around to take care of this stuff on the weekends and this is when it runs wild.

As a starting suggestion, could not the top 100 active posters be given the authority to delete this crap? IT people that are around-anything better as a suggestion?

I think I lurve you.

As I'm looking right now, 14 of the 25 topics on the "Today's Posts" page are completely spam. I'm afraid to think what awaits inside the real threads

[IvyBlue]

For all intents and purposes the forum is, at this moment, unusable.

[Diana Renata]

I like this idea. Somebody's gotta be able to keep house on the weekends.

I would also be glad to volunteer in anti-spam patrol. I'm not a top-100 poster anymore, but in part that's because there's so much cruft to slog through.

15:10 EDT They've taken over again. No, I don't want to watch a live stream of anything. The offer stands.

[KerryK]

Yup, it looks like today it's taken over during their lunch hour. I'm merely commenting to bump this message above the spam.

[naiadknight]

I volunteer to be a mod, but I've made that offer repeatedly. The amount of spam blowing up the forums is just ridiculous.

I have also offered a few times, in threads like these.
