IDK why, but that looks a lot like a hat that would belong to you.

Are you trying to throw your hat into the ring?

LOL, yeah let's appoint someone who's using red walls of trust to settle personal quarrels. What could possibly go wrong with that...

[pugman]

Og, can you post your report history,as in how many posts have you reported? Keep things a little transparent.

Yeah that is not going to happen anytime soon, I hardly think anybody is going to be appointed, since theymos has to eventually decide on who will be appointed, we can only run polls or keep suggestions coming in.

Personally, I don't think anyone who has a lot of enemies should be part of the moderation team, be it for anybody.

[Welsh]

Holy crap... he could replace all moderators at once.

Honestly, the moderators still have to deal with my reports, and are likely dealing with hundreds/thousands more from other people. I think users on this forum don't appreciate how much the moderators actually do.

Welsh has reported 36,000+ posts[/url] ( have a total of 100). I have seen eternalgloom being interested on moderating Altcoin section, but I don't know how much he has reported or anything at all. Any other recommendations?

39744 currently. Although, I have a lot of bad reports so I'm far from a perfect record. I would disagree though. Top reporters haven't been known to get appointed, and users who can speak other languages are probably much more likely to be appointed. I don't participate in any local boards or report in any. My reports get dealt with within a few hours anyway.

Having almost 40k reports is no joke. And you have less than 500(?) bad reports. Doesn't matter. Your record is more than just perfect. You know you sound like a nerd who is upset because he got 99/100 in math and is now depressed for losing 1 mark for handwriting. 

Really though, I don't see a lot of users reporting in the local boards. I maybe wrong, but almost anybody would give up reporting on local boards with no mods.

263 bad. Some were for not explaining why I reported a few times, and had to report a few. That's what inspired the reporting effectively guide. I'm planning on creating a telegram account, and discord account dedicated to finding out these altcoins, and ICOs which are offering an incentive, and reporting them with the evidence. However, at the moment I've just been reporting the individual replies. Unless, I find them offering an incentive on their website or social medias.

I'm a perfectionist by nature, although never come up with anything ever near perfect. It's a real struggle.

I'm not fluent enough in any languages to report effectively. Except Welsh, but there aren't exactly a thriving community of Welsh people here

That would be a deadend. I have heard that these businesses are run like how drug cartels do business IRL. They have secret groups and they do all the dirty work amongst themselves. Sure a few stupid ICOs tell people to post in their ANN thread to get paid. They are just a temporary thing. The real ones will never fall for this and this would be a longshot  and may end up for nothing.

I understand that, as I was raised by such standards.

I know more than a few languages but I just never visit those local boards, I like posting here in the English sections only.

My reports get dealt with within a few hours anyway.

Still - it sounds like a waste of time for you and the mods, given your near-perfect record. Would be far more efficient to hand you the hammer or the big red button or whatever that thing is that makes spam disappear.

My report statistics are a little exaggerated too. Like I said if I had downloaded Telegram, and Discord, and checked these before reporting individually I would have much lesser stats.

If it were a waste of time I'm sure theymos would of addressed this long ago.

Bumping this, for suggestions of new staff(paid or volunteers).

Grue and salty were fired from being global mods because they were doing little to no mod work over an extended period of time. In other words, nearly zero productivity has been lost as a result of their removals.

Additional global mods are not needed as a result of Grue and salty being removed as mods.

Welsh. he is active and a good reporter, he is also not biased. I don't see why Welsh shouldn't be a moderator. and about the biggest bully in this forum aka OgNasty, he could keep at bullying people with red tags and distribute merits, nothing else.

Global mods aren't required, but normal staff is required. The workload distribution is too uneven. For example, hilariousandco is the head moderator of Bitcoin Discussion and the entire Marketplace(along with Cyrus). Why not just hire some mods, to handle the boards that are either with no moderators/ or to replace the global mods. At least then can global moderators take care of more important priorities(handling reported PMs, banning users etc).

Welsh has already been suggested before, suggestions for other people is what I am asking. 

[Welsh]

I appreciate the support guys, but like I said my reports get handled pretty quickly, and there's probably others which are reporting in better timezones. United Kingdom is a pretty well covered timezone from what I can gather.

[digaran]

In that case I'd like to suggest LoyceV, they are extremely active and interested in moderation stuff, they are actually doing a lot of job on behalf of the moderators. if you were looking for suggestions.
The rest is up to the admin whether they want to hire more mods or not. IMO we should grab people like LoyceV before they get tired and quit their good job at finding bots and spammers.

Again, already suggested. To be clear, new suggestions are welcome. I don't know why I am doing this,even after knowing this might be a big ass deadend,perhaps for the sake of discussion of new staff.

I don't think this is about the reports getting handled, but about the distribution of work. There are boards (like Economics and off-topic) that have no moderators. So is why, I am suggesting theymos to atleast appoint volunteers.

[digaran]

Look guys, Welsh is the new moderator on altcoin sections helping mprep, I'd suggest that if any of you interested in becoming moderator start reporting more on those sections without a dedicated moderator.
More reports=having more chance to be hired as a mod (paid or volunteer). now that we have a really good and supportive member as our newest moderator it's time to focus on the next moderator position to be filled if there is actually a need for it.
Again congratulation @Welsh, I like your character very much and I respect you, soon you'll get a lot of reports from me.

[pugman]

Welsh, you're welcome.   

Congratulations, by the way. 

[matvee]

Should we not find a new mods first before removing inactive mods? Any update of to whom the spots were moved? I expect that there is already one who filled the position I am just not sure tho if that mod was newly appointed

If this is a voluntarily position, how can you ensure that you are informed of their intentions in advance. I am not aware of what happens here but there shouldn't be a "notice period" to serve.
