Looking for more Steepster Moderators!

We recently got our system working again so that we can create more moderator accounts! If anyone is interested, please post in this chat and let me know.

To be clear, the only thing it really let’s you do at this point is to make user accounts less than 1 month old as spam accounts, which will remove their account and all of the content they have submitted. So it’s nothing crazy fancy, but at least it will increase the number of people who can remove spam and hopefully that will limit the times where spam fills up the site.

Let me know!

FYI, this is only to be used on accounts that are posting non-tea related spam. it’s not to be used on anyone who is abusing the ratings system or has caused other issues (like upsetting people in the discussions).

would it be worth having existing moderators also check in to see if they’re still interested/around?

The old moderator accounts should still be working, so there really isn’t a need to check in with them. If they’re still around they’ll still have the ability to remove spam accounts. What I wasn’t able to do for a long time was make new moderators.

Yes, mine is still working no issues.

I was thinking more in terms of removing mod access if ppl aren’t around using the ability so you have more “open slots” :)

Ah, I see. There isn’t a limit on the number of mods we can have, so that isn’t a concern :)

I can help, I am usually up during the late/wee morning hours, when a lot of this spam appears.

I think I would be a good candidate. I have been active here for a while and I am on the forums several times per day. I see a lot of spam that doesn’t get removed until later in the day.

I’d definitely help out. I always seem to log in right in the middle of middle-of-the-night spam attacks.

Also willing; I usually check in very early morning and at least a few more times throughout the day.
