Forum Spam Rules

[sindroms]

I have not seen a single thread/post reported by you since I became a moderator, Karst.

Not everything has to be reported, y'know. We're not expecting you to read every single post on the forums, but at least moderate the things you see. Just as an example, there's at least 5 posts in this thread that are nothing but spam in a thread outside of flood. I doubt no mods saw them since the thread is highly visited, yet nothing got moderated so far. And that's just 1 thread, I'm sure there are many more examples with the recent standard of quality Karst mentioned above.

That is not exactly true.
There is a very, VERY fine line between moderating what is minor or tongue-in-cheek posts in discussion threads and outright spam or disruptive content. Sometimes, especially with new mods, they do not want to seem ''overeager'' to moderate every single thing they have a ''suspition'' is negative.
That is what the report button is for.
"I think this might not belong here, but no other member in this thread so far seems to have an issue with this post."

That is why the report button is there.
Moderation is subjective. Especially during early hours when the mod chat is asleep. Please help yourselves by helping mods figure out whether or not a post belongs in a thread. Keep your own forum clean. By extension, help moderators and admins not seem dictatorial where we remove every single joke we come across.
