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 think we should be able to have all moderator rights.
1, continous spamming gets to everyone.
2, whats the point in been a mod when we only have limited options that really dont make a difference.
3, if your not going to give us more options then i say the forum soon enough wont last long! Staff arent around that often when the moderating is needed. People will soon get bored of all the crap posted and maybe move to another forum thats controlled. You would think this been a 'Family site' for everyone that it would be better controlled.

Yeah it would save having to delete 40 odd posts.

I'm not going to argue with the power-hungry here, but moderators SHOULD NOT be allowed to ban members or delete posts.
A simple method of blocking a user's posting rights via a moderator vote is sufficient. Then the staffies will decide if the person deserves a ban.

When I think of deleting posts, I think of the idiots who come to mess and spam the place before they get banned. Posting links to tubgirl and goatse, etc.

Anything that is decided, or any extra powers awarded would be monitored very closely on our end.
At the moment any modifications made to posts are sent through to ourselves so ensure no one is abusing their powers.
