Do we need more moderators?

[Northern Star]

Youk does a great job, but he is only one man, and as far as I know, none of the other mods have been active here for years. I'm not volunteering, but could we use more help to get rid of spammers in a more timely fashion?

[Youk Of The Nation]

I requested two more from YZ over a year ago. He agreed, but I have not heard from him since. As the administrator, he is the only one who can access the controls necessary to make mods, so until he does there is nothing to be done.

I have also considered asking him if I could buy the site from him. Anyone have comments on that? I would love to hear them.

[Thunder]

Seems like a good idea if you ask me. I don't know enough about it, but it seems reasonable that he would give it up, unless it's got some sentimental value.

I'm sure it does, though. He created this site at the beginning of the 2004 season and was a huge presence for the first decade of its existence. I'm not saying I don't want him around, it was more just an idea if he was willing and maybe too busy with real life. I, on the other hand, have no life.

I'd chip in a few bucks if you need it.

[StephenCurry30]

I think it would be a great idea, I haven't seen the admin, or any of the mods besides youk around at all. in fact I didn't even know we had that many mods. I know YZ built the site and we all respect that but I think youk taking over would be good for the site.

regarding a mod, this site has a lot of active members who I think could be good mods. - mvp, a700, jbay, kimmi, bellhorn, among a few others. youk does a great job but its a lot of work.

I don't have a life, either.

As I have said before, I would like to help moderate if you see a need at some point.

[jacksonianmarch]

We had quite a crew back in the day, didnt we? Its too bad yz isnt around.

[SoxHop]

Bored and browsing....

I haven't seen any issues with admin on this site.......... it was rough a few months after that other board came aboard, but they all are very cool now and I think have taken to the culture of this site.....

Steph mentioned many good admins....... all I'd trust.

Youk........ I totally back you 100 percent.......... you have a perfect flair for running a board and have amazing judgement and communication and leave things be when needed. Seriously man.......... you need to run for Prez...............

I'm not sure why you would want to own the board.......... and I wasn't around when Yaz was posting............ but I'd throw a few dollars at making a great thing better in your eyes just like MVP suggested........

[mvp 78]

Someone light the YZ beacon!

[Thunder]

After today, it's 100% essential.

[a700hitter]

I think we have some volunteers if we can find Yeszir. We should put his face on a milk carton

[Jack Flap]

And here I thought BDC had cornered the market on colorful wannabe internet villains.

[User Name?]

I nominate Jack Flap and Spudboy.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I have no way to get in touch with him outside of PMs. Just got rid of everything that guy posted, never thought we'd see him again.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I suppose the only other option is for me to quit work, never sleep, and stay online 24/7. I guess I could do that?

Wait, you mean you could have even less of a life?

[a700hitter]

[a700hitter]

YOTN, he is still up to his nonsense.

[Station 13]

There should be a 72 hour provision period before noobies are able to posts.

I don't see how that would change anything

[Youk Of The Nation]

Was it Crespoblows?

No, just some guy who apparently had some issue with another person on the site who was themselves banned long before he showed up.

Guys, I'm sorry about all the images, but as I keep having to say, I can't be on all the time. The best I can do is get rid of everything as soon as I do log on. In the meantime, the best I can suggest is to just put the guy on your ignore list once the first images go up and wait for me to be online again. I've PMed YZ again, hopefully I'll hear from him soon.

[Thunder]

Yeah, as an individual who just became of age to legally view these images, I'm starting to get more and more offended. No worries, though. I know you're doing your best.

[Station 13]

Banish returns cannot immediately posts for 3 days by making a new account. Lots of messageboard has it.

Gotcha. Was not aware of this

[Youk Of The Nation]

This guy keeps claiming that some other user was a pedophile and we should have banned him. What kills me is that we did, a long time ago. Obviously this is just your garden-variety gross-out troll, but it's an interesting track he's taking, I guess. Unique.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Okay everyone, until YZ responds to my PM and E-mail, here's what I suggest: Keep an eye on the bottom of the homepage that lists "Most Recent Members". Pre-emptively add each new member to your ignore list as soon as you see a name appear, and whenever I am online, I'll check their posts to let you guys know if they're legitimate or not.

[yeszir]

Posting from my phone for now, I'll get online later tonight. The new spam member thing should be fixed for now. I'll talk to YOTN about new mods.

[yeszir]

Also hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around. Absentee admin :(

[Youk Of The Nation]

Nothing like the Admin showing up and fixing everything in 15 seconds to make me feel small and insignificant. :(

[Kimmi]

IMO, you do a great job. No need to apologize for the trolls.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I was kidding. Obviously I am significant, as evidenced by the many and varied minions of TalkSox who cluster admiringly around me, basking in the glow of my awesomeness.

[Thunder]

I'd never thought I'd see the day. YZ fresh and in the flesh

LOL You are awesome!

[Kimmi]

Also hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around. Absentee admin :(

You should come around more often and post with us. :)

[Youk Of The Nation]

He gives great grooming tips. Knows all the best manicure places.

Well then, he should definitely come around more!

Haha oh man....amazing. That's a reference that's at LEAST 7 years old.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Haha oh man....amazing. That's a reference that's at LEAST 7 years old.

And yet it never, ever gets old!

[mvp 78]

Praise be!

[Spudboy]

Youk he seems to have been a member before since he knows who you and I are and thinks he knows some dirt on us.

He has his facts mixed up but he does remember something he thinks he saw.

Whatever.

[Jack Flap]

IMO, you do a great job. No need to apologize for the trolls.

I agree.

Fuck the trolls.

[a700hitter]

YOTN, if any apology is needed, it is for allowing the mass influx of refugees from BDC. They needed to be carefully vetted.;):p

I got that reference. Also, I know you missed me.
