The Chess Community Needs YOU! - Moderator Application

lol

After about 327 days, I could apply for moderator.

If this thread can't keep out kids spamming ...

Perhaps too many o letters for emphasis, but I don't think a few extra letters one time is that harmful. Doing this consistently or flooding threads with incoherent letters, I would consider spamming. Just my opinion...

Look at the 2 posts just before that

Yeah, I see that. Probably better to put them all in one post rather than 3 posts together, but perhaps it is just a habit from texting and it carried over to chess.com accidentally (let us remember that chess.com can also be accessed on a phone too)

chess.com automatically limits the number of consecutive posts one can make on a thread, so they can't bump a thread indefinitely using this. 

The more severe spam cases are the ones with continuously repeating of letters or gibberish consistently and/or repeated forum topics etc. 

Not just the multi post. There was no content.

The site seems to have become a fidget spinner replacement

I was a mod for a while somewhere and did a fairly good job, aside from never going over to Discord to talk to the other mods. I just wanted to do the work. I never let my feelings get in the way, as the responsibility trumped going off on someone. It was neat being able to do busy work that served a purpose, i.e. approving posts and removing the few that caused problems. It's such a myth that mods are de facto on a power trip. I always checked myself on that. But obviously this isn't an application, because you'd never let someone in who is consistently mean on the forum and who so obviously likes to pick at big people. Also, as much as it's nice to help, man would I suck at communicating on mod back channels. Or answering messages of any kind. Actually, wow, that gig would suck for everyone. :-) But I certainly got a lot of work done. They have almost two million members and I left the other mods with nothing to work on, aside from all the pots and pans stuff on Discord. :-) Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

That's proof right there, man.

I'd have to be here, doing this. Holy God.

yeah but I don't quite understand what you're saying...?!

Christmas is going well
