The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
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.

Found this by accident as I usually only ever post in the Internet Forum, so I would like to see threads like this posted on all forums so all moderators get a chance to reply.
I also think the ability to move a thread from one forum to another would be good, as we had some one post a game thread in our forum, so the ability to move misplaced threads would be good.
Banning? I think we should not need to ban users, not had that need in Websites and Internet as they are all well behaved, how ever we do have the ability to report posts, so that Staffies can decide on bans!!
Other than that I think the controls already in place seem to work fine on the Forum that I use most

I reluctantly agree.
It's a shame that wrestling is totally awful at the moment.

Yes it's a shame :(
hopefully it'll be okay to move it into the Sports forum.

Vexxxed/Tony have you decided on what's going to happen?
tbh we just want to stop the spammers who sign up just to cause problems, spam and post links to gay porn. That's all.

An "Ultimatum" button.
Offer all JAT's one chance to stop being stupid or we destry their puny accounts.
I'm not sounding very Modd-ish, am I?

With all the effort being spent in moderating the moderators it seems you could just use that energy to actually look after the forums yourselves instead of getting us to do it.
Either way, giving mods the powers to delete posts would be a bad thing, well unless one certain mod was removed of their powers in which case there wouldn't be a problem as everyone else seems to be able to use their powers responsibly

What, and eradicate most (if not all) of the entertainment value around here?? Heh. I'd say the forums are sterile enough. Although we do encounter the usual text-happy wandering JAT, looking for love in all the wrong places and/or stalking Hippyman, Noddy's post isn't as brilliant an example as the porn linkage and the like we really should be moderating for.
There must be accountability for Moderators, too. I know we've complained about biglime profusely and yet he remains a moderator, which I can not understand. If we're to distinguish a set of members as the forum police, they must meet standards of integrity and there must be recourse for their blatent abuse of power.

I hope you're not refering to me.
I haven't even got to use my "Mod powers" yet.

Oh I just noticed this was the 2000th thread. Well done all.
Well the next thread had better contain a 2001 reference then.
I suggest '2001: A thread oddity'.
