I tend to browse on here around 4am EST. Report those spam postings from overnight. I would volunteer to have those flagged for approval.

My idea is for me to flag them, which will remove the posting until a Moderator can approve to have it posted again or deleted.

Just a thought.

This is a decent idea.  We don’t all have to moderate, but a few could flag and disappear the garbage for moderators to review.

And not dissing current moderators in the least.

Speaking as a nearly 25 year member, I see it as a problem that will keep our key contributors from coming here.  That’s all.

Be glad it's not like Fandango/Vudu forums where they have 19 pages of TEMU ads on just one of their forums, many other forums on that site are also filled with same ads.

One person no, but five (say) persons in different time zones can (almost). I live in Europe (MET = GST+1) and would volunteer.

really? how much time do you spend on any given website? 5 mintues? 10 sometimes? even with 10 moderators, thats less than a couple hours a day active use.

Wouldn't it be easier on the moderators to have "semi-moderators"? Where we would have access to a button that we can click on to flag the post for approval by ya'll?

I understand there will be some site wide programming and no, I have no idea how much of a process that would be. So that alone could make this a moot point.

Just putting an idea out there for looking into. As I said above, I am willing to flag postings.

There is already a flag [!] a the bottom of this message. If you click the flag, a note will be sent to moderators, but the post will not be instantly removed.

Spammers are businessmen. Instant removal would reduce return on investment for the spammer and reduce the number of notes sent to moderators caused by multiple users reporting the same spam. Maybe the site is smart enough to summarize multiple reports rather than individually reporting each one.

What is the ironing of clicking on this video? Is the fact that it wants me to sign in to make sure I am not a bot.

If there was only a translation tool on this site.  I’m probably missing something.

If you select a block of text, a translate tool will be presented, along with the usual copy, paste, etc.
