piscespokerbrat 80 Posted September 15, 2012 I might be able to moderate part time.. is that doable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted September 15, 2012 I might be able to moderate part time.. is that doable? I wish...but you can PM me when you see spam..I don't get notices anymore. That would help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strycnine 23 Posted September 15, 2012 Wonder why you don't get the notices anymore? Who runs the admin control panel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted September 15, 2012 Wonder why you don't get the notices anymore? Who runs the admin control panel? I was taken out of the moderator group and placed into a group by myself when I was made an admin. I have access to some admin sections but not all. I take it that only mods in the 'moderator' group get the notices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strycnine 23 Posted September 15, 2012 Seems like they can have you in both user groups. I have my mods in two groups and they get the notices. One is primary and the other is secondary. But I know we are running two different forum softwares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted September 15, 2012 yes we have that but I can't change it since I am listed as an admin. I don't know who can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strycnine 23 Posted September 15, 2012 Ah, you must not have the same permisson as the root admin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted September 15, 2012 I guess not. I'm like the poor relation that gets to come to the family get-togethers but has to sit at the children's table. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted September 15, 2012 Here is a list of the moderators. The list of ones that have been online recently is much shorter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coaster36 327 Posted September 15, 2012 Ive never seen any of those mods post except BannerJohn. He needs to be on the payroll. I hope he is! If it wasn't for him, this site would be trash. I wish some more active members got admin privileges. I don't know why they keep it so locked down. I'm sure John is the only one who bans the spammers.

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted September 15, 2012 We have a new spam filter that automatically bans spammers from certain domains, as well as spammers with names like "gxhiehyb" (just random letters)..or so it seems. As for the list...I am not on the payroll, nor is Cutme. The rest are USC employees. Since I'm not clocking in and out, I work nights and weekends too. I have requested additional mods and made suggestions, and am waiting for a reply. You can have a hundred mods but unless they monitor the forums regularly like I do, it does no good. I take my position seriously. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
