yea I forgot about this thread, seemed like people jumped on the idea but it was just sort of blown off
I started a thread about this in the the sugestions forum, hopefully it might help. This thread here if you want to post in it to add your support to the idea of assigning mods for these forums http://www.hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3259524#post3259524
Nah, did you think that you wanted to be a moderator? Were you craving for mind control over others or just plain ego-trip on your part to be a moderator. We have more than enough "authority" figures in this fucked up society to need more moderators for a psychedelic hippie board. Bleeh! I don't need that fuckin' shit.
no mandell I don't use the internet let alone this site anywhere near frequently enough to try and moderate on here. Besides, moderation is not about "mind control", its about, well,....moderation obviously. If you read the rest of the thread you will find that alot of people feel that the forums could use someone to mantain them better. It also provides people with a direct way to suggest ideas for improving the forums and will cut down on the negativity and missinformation on the site directed at people that are only trying to educate themselves. Like yourself I have no interest in seeing some kind of internet dictator installed to try to regulate peoples opinions, but maybe I have a little more faith in most people here and can't see that becoming a problem.
Yeah I agree we desperately need some mods here. I would post more if we had mods, because i'm sure the quality of the posts would improve... Hell, i'd be up for moderating any of the psychedelic drugs forums. I've spent about 6 or 7 years posting on harm reduction sites such as Bluelight and Dancesafe, and have had several trip reports published on erowid. So I know what's required.
The senior members should be given moderator controls. If not full mod control, then something so they can help enforce whatevers left of any rules around here...
You need only report a problem using the report button, and supermods (we have many), will get on it. This works far better than one or two assigned mods who can't be online all time trying to cover the forum.
There should be a 'is this what I think it is?' subforum repeat threads with no specific purpose outside of the generic question that has been asked 1000+ times should be deleted with the message 'repeat thread' threads that just take up space like 'hey guys im really bored so ya...um ya.. well whats up?' and 'i just broke up with my gir/boyfriend (with no discussion potential)' and the famous 'im reallllllllly baked right now' just delete it, no even move it I have no problem with these threads existing, its just the fact that like relayer said, really good threads only last a few posts because theres so much crap floating around
Thanks. I agree there needs to be posts/threads taken down. Can't let something like this get out of hand.
