I'm talking about making current members mods... I know of someone who is here overnight on a daily basis who will do it for free. [No, not me.] Also, it has at least happened twice since the new site opened up, to my knowledge. As soon as the mods step out, a bunch of users with supposedly registered nicks come in and bombard us with filthy chat and inappropriate questions. It happened once while I was here, and I do believe, correct me if I'm wrong, it happened sometime yesterday before I was able to connect. [I think Betsy was telling me about it.]
So it sounds like they did it once, then came back.
If I'm interpreting things wrongly, please let me know. What I'm seeing is this. Since we are unable to ban them right away, people appear that they'd rather stew about the fact that they can't be banned right away, instead of simply reporting them, so we can ban them and they can't come back?
If someone had reported them the first time, then they couldn't of come back and caused trouble once they had been banned.
So I guess what I'm saying is this. Instead of being mad that they can't be banned right away and doing nothing. Please report them so they can't come back and continue it.
Keeping chat clean is kind of a partnership between chatters and the mods in my mind. Our part is to be there when we can. Your part is to report things when we aren't there.
Again if I'm interpreting your thinking wrong, I apologize.
