Because he's doing it on his own time for free?

Mate what's up with you right now? This is obvious stuff!

i really don’t see that much of an issue unless Matty is asking for help? (Which is totally different).

If some spam ends up on here for a few days it’s not really a big issue is it?

So who would anyone trust with the power to delete who is on here all the time? Certainly not JL!

Why?!






OK I see that now.

Jobbo? But only if he writes a 100 page report on his reasons.

i don’t really believe in moderation.

Not looking to have censorship police or anything like. Just have a few regulars to clean out the junk, etc.

Matty, can you please ban Ravi for suggesting this!

If only the OV9 forum had a self aware entity.....

It would cease to be a free forum. £250 per moderated post I think.

Dangerous! What if it was one of my war and peace missives on Brexit? Surely you'd have to invoice on a time spent basis...

We can recruit a team of paralegals and cream off the profits

Apart from Matty I genuinely don't think there's anyone on here we can trust.

Well I've restricted registrations now, so that's fixed the issue with spammers, and the forum doesn't show up in any searches or anything so I doubt many are going to stumble by and try to join. If they do, they'll just have to wait until I can tick the box to complete their registration.

Ultimately, I'm more than happy to give anyone permission to delete posts. I'm not prepared to put my neck on the line to decide who that would be

I genuinely don't think there is. Although watching JL piss off a moderator could be funny.

I'd say you're pretty wrong on that count OC. Seeing as the evo forum was pretty much self regulating, and there's been no incidents here, I'd argue almost any current member could be trusted to be a moderator. I imagine you really wouldn't have to do much apart from admin work.
