Hi. I would like to suggest a new rank. Forum moderator. The only thing forum moderators can do is to maybe hide threads and replies so mods/admins can confirm if the threads hidden by the forum mods are indeed spam or not, and probably also the power to mute users for a set time (5hrs probably?). This is so the spammers cant take advantage of when mods/admins aren't online.

What you are suggesting is basically adding more moderators, not a new user group.
We have to be very careful here because hiding threads and muting users is a form of censorship in my books and we can't just give that privilege out to anyone.

If you see any spam on the forum then please report it, i am very rarely away from the forum for more 8 hours at a time and move all spam to the trashcan as soon as i see it.

If you think a particular board could use another moderator then please let me know and i will look into filling the position if needed.

Oh. Didnt know that was the only power mods have.

Yea i know what you mean. Posts that are hidden by the new lower type of mod are only temporarily hidden, then the mods decide if those posts really need to be deleted/hidden or not.

The powers of a global moderator compared to that of a normal user here is that we have the ability to move spam posts to the trashcan section of the forum, we can also ban members for a period of time or permanently if needed but that is about it.
Any changes made to the forum itself need to be carried out by an administrator.
Our job here is here basically just to keep the place clean of spam and help users when needed.
