New Moderators!

It was the strangest feeling. I got to work and logged in to the D3 forums and - lo and behold, there’s no spam for me to nuke. No newbies to approve. Not even an out-of-line poster who needed slapped around. I check the moderator logs and whose names are out there? Mr DayvBang and GothicKratos have joined the esteemed ranks of moderator.

Everyone come say hi and give these 2 suckers a warm thanks for volunteering to keep our little virtual hangout clean. icon_razz.gif

DayvBang, GothicKratos - Hi, warm thanks for volunteering to keep our little virtual hangout clean!

Congratulations!

I, for one, welcome our new green overlords.

Good luck.

Thanks for the new mods.
And big thanks to riggy.

It certainly seems a lot cleaner now than back when I was removing spam accounts a thousand at a time, and deleting 200+ spam messages every day.

I asked for various things to make the boards cleaner, and it looks like all of them got implemented.

Congrats and welcome to the board.

Total spam is definitely down - maybe 50-75 messages per day getting deleted. But I’m not sure what else they’re doing behind the scenes technically to help the moderators out. The current primary driver for why the boards stay clean is the “first post must be approved” rule. And every other day or so I go into the members list and sift through the new members who haven’t posted yet and ban the obvious zombie accounts.

Man I dig BOTH of those oaks!! All the best my brus icon_e_biggrin.gif
green time is party time

Good luck suckers icon_e_smile.gif

New moderators mid-season?! We shouldn’t be beta-testing new moderators when there are alliance ranks on the line!

I just want to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.

Thanks, guys. I’ll try not to let my tiny amount of power go to my giant head.

Triple post!!! We need some moderators in here, stat.

It was a stealth update last patch, but nobody noticed until now. icon_e_biggrin.gif

Haha, that wasn’t supposed to happen! My browser crashed while sending. But for those who get the reference, it was perfect timing.

OH, WE’VE GOT THIS.
