FWIW what you show above I think will have many re-evaluating their desire to be a moderator.

On another note, I looked at the most recent Member Introductions...SIX in the last month approximately. I would suggest a moratorium on new members, as the number of real members pale in comparison to the number of spammers. Not ideal, but the legit ones can remain lurkers until this spammer problem is resolved.

Welcome to our newest member, JoshuaDig (Man from Morocco) just now.

Good luck, and thanks again.

Yeah I spend an hour or more every other day or so going through the list of online members and I’m banning as much as 75-80% of those listed… it’s crazy…

As for the other moderators, some of them haven’t logged on in years… and I’m sure they have their notifications sent to a trash file or directed to junk or some such…

Removing a moderator is an admin level decision, and I don’t want any of them removed… I understand life happens… I would however like to have a few new mods to help with the spam load… As for showing what it looks like and some reconsidering being a moderator, I wouldn’t want anyone that isn’t aware of what they are getting into…

Edit: I think a vetting process before one could post might be the answer. I think it’s less work to vet than moderate/remove. Of course, I’m no expert here. Just sharing perspective based on the intense workload you two are experiencing!

100% the reason I still chase the spammers is I don’t want this forum to go away… It has meant so much to me for so many years… Especially after my medical issues…
