Good Morning All!

Moderators and non Moderators alike, lend me your ears! (or eyes in this case!) With all the recent stress and aggravation caused by the JA's, we at Freeola are wishing to know exactly what:

A) Moderators - what would you like to be able to do, to be able to perform your jobs more effectively?

B) Regulars and chatters - What would you like to see Moderators able to do, to be able to help protect the forums from spammers and abusive users? Or do you think they currently have enough power?

Once we know exactly what you want to be able to do on here, without having to worry about alerting us staffies all the time, (although we should always be lurking to take action) we should be able to make this a better place to be.

I want X-ray vision, the ability to fly and ice breath.

Oh yeah, I also want to resign as moderator from the WWE forum, it's a dead area of the site and I've lost interest in wrestling anyway.

Let me know via e-mail through the usual ways and I will take you off.

Personally i reckon reduce the number of mods as at the moment they out number the regular chatters.

Give them the ability to move posts, in case something is posted in the wrong place.

Delete posts if agreed by at least one other mod maybe two to be safe.

Suspend posting rights for three days, if someone has their posting right suspended 3 times = ban.

I really think we should be taking the WWE forum down. There have been no posts for the past two weeks.

If there are no objections I think Vexxxed should go ahead and remove it.

Can't I mod the games forum instead? I don't think I've ever even seen moderators there.

Can we not forget this selective modding system and just have forum-wide mods. It's a better system by far

There's no objections from me, even though I'm a mod I don't really post there as there's not enough other people posting on there.

The only thing I thought was daft was that I'm able to delete posts made by regulars, and ban them from the Intelligent Discussion forum, but not JATs. Has that been fixed, because if anything it should be the other way about ...

If you staff aren't going to be about very often, and you want the mods to basically do all the 'babysitting' here on the forum, then they'll have to have some way of banning or limiting access to the muppets that occasionally plague this place.

How to do this??! I couldn't give a monkeys.
