Thanks kindly barbas. I genuinely wasn't aware who had the authority to appoint garbage collectors.
Yeah Jaded does. There are 3 of us with anti-spam powers (who aren't admins). I clean up about 60 spam threads a day, so it isn't that we need more people, we need a preventative system.
In the absence of a better system, better coverage can't hurt. There are windows where none of the anti-spammers appear to be regularly active.
That said: I do wish there was a better preventative system in place. I can't help but think that simply disallowing new posters from posting links would help somewhat and be reasonably easy to implement.
I seem to be the most active. At least I think I am. The only period when spam appears is from 4am to 10pm GMT (mostly, occasionally there are a few random ones outside that time period) and I go to sleep right in the middle of that window, so I clean up a LOT of it when I get on the forums in the morning (notice we are spam free at the moment).
Those are all important qualities, but there's a single, major, unspoken rule to becoming a moderator.
I'm guessing you're going to say "Not asking to become one", but he/she volunteered to take care of spam, not exactly the most glamourous job ever.
This is it. The proper course of action would be to point out the problem, even ping the admins like you did, and suggest appointing more moderators as a solution. Volunteering without being asked is, in by far the majority of cases, a big red flag for the people giving out power.
I already know the first rule. Be me or as close to that as you can get. Special venues will benefit from my help. Others won't qualify.
If my assistance isn't needed at this time, forget I mentioned it.
Power is boring. Forget I asked. If there's a precedent here for people volunteering their assistance for the wrong reason, I have little interest in joining those ranks.
I'm also fond of "Those who want power probably shouldn't have it, those who enjoy it probably do so for the wrong reasons, and those who want most to hold on to it don't understand that it's only temporary.”

1. Does the flux omniwrench work 100% of the time with all machines(mostly ic2)?
2. Does the electric wrench still have cheap mode and lossless mode? Or is it just lossless?
3. If both are lossless(or the ele-wrench in lossless mode), which is better in terms of power and ease of use?
Thanks

Forum moderation stuff? Me.
And you now have access to the spam button, it will hide post you mark spam so a mod can take a look.
