yea i guess that will be usefull did Vash add it yetWell you do have a point there, but I suggested a filter(not stated here) that will be used to prompt the user to type in his/her response which will be then sent to a mod to be verified if it's either a reaction or something useful.
Not yet, but I think my idea will be ignored though.yea i guess that will be usefull did Vash add it yet
thats sad cause your idea was nice remind gold about itNot yet, but I think my idea will be ignored though.
A filter would be useful, but the problem is all us mods are not on 24/7. There are times where no Mods are present, so this process would literally drag down how fast replies are sent and whatnot. Plus, our Report box would probably be flooded every day if that were the case.Well you do have a point there, but I suggested a filter(not stated here) that will be used to prompt the user to type in his/her response which will be then sent to a mod to be verified if it's either a reaction or something useful.
You are correct on that but cant you add more moderators maybe 8 with different time zones then atleast one would be online every time a day?A filter would be useful, but the problem is all us mods are not on 24/7.

Unless users can still post their replies as normal, just the Moderator gets a notification and can choose whether to keep/remove that post. Even then, it would be hectic considering how frequently users post on the forum on a daily basis (I estimate around 30 new posts are posted every day on the forum, possibly up in the hundreds if we consider OTL in this as well).
Nonetheless, it's a great idea in theory, the problem is the execution of it, and that we lack 24/7 Mod power on the forum. If we had at least one Moderator active during each part of the day, then I could see the this working (even though at that point it's like sitting in an office cubicle for the Moderator).
Either way, good idea, but sorry, it just won't work well.
The thing is that we need more active moderators than more of them if you know what i mean. Some of our current moderators are busy in RL and have no time to keep the forums clean. Adding eight more moderators would be shabby as well..... :IYou are correct on that but cant you add more moderators maybe 8 with different time zones then atleast one would be online every time a day?
Possible, but what happens to the OPs who decide to go inactive for 2 months and return? Or what if an OP requests if a thread remain open for future use extended beyond 30 days? This is the sort of thing that could cause trouble to clan recruiting threads as well, even signups for events (if they are scheduled over a month in advance). Anyways again, the concept seems all fine and dandy, but the execution would just cause more trouble than its worth.I got an idea to deal with bumping, if the time of the last post in the thread exceeds 30 days, the thread will autolock, but it can be unlocked if the creator of the thread requests so to a moderator.
True, but in my opinion, Moderators should be demoted if they decide that they want to go ahead and leave the forums for a few months unless they have a pretty damn good reason. This is another reason why we need ONE more moderator, one who is willing to pledge to the forums, stay active and DEFINATELY not leave the forums for two months without a good reason. It would also be a smart idea if the moderator was in a timezone where normally most of the mods aren't able to get on.Possible, but what happens to the OPs who decide to go inactive for 2 months and return?

In all honesty, back when this forum was a few hundred small, I would keep up on all present threads at that time. However, as the memberbase increased, so did the amount of threads and posts. Eventually, it came to the amount where I would have to spend 2 hours+ to actually go through every unread thread in my profile, and scan all posts. However, I have a life, and cannot afford such a luxury (and frankly, it could get boring after a while). Anyways, the concept of locking old threads after 30 days would tidy up the forum perhaps, but I've yet to see an actual community commit to such a thing (any forum really). In the Clans and Device Support boards, I'd think it beneficial to keep such threads unlocked, as a member may want to join a clan, or has a similar problem as someone else did in a similar thread.@GoldMan27
For those of you who are lazy to the point of not reading what I wrote, here are the basic summarizations.
Thank you for reading this overly-long post. ;)
- I would be willing to step up to the moderating position.
- There needs to be an active moderator to compensate for the lack of activity of the others.
- Threads (aside from the ones in the "Off-topic") SHOULD be locked upon being solved, requested by the original creator of the said thread, or if it is deemed dead. As MintDaz has stated, it should only be re-opened if the creator requests so (hence the need of "active" moderators).
- The thread contents should also be kept an eye on by the staffs for new threads/posts (another reason for the extra helps).
