Is there a plan to get some more Mods to cut down the work load of the ones that are here all the time(3X00 is the only one really). I see that Barry is one now, but is there anyone else? I'd do it, but I don't know anything about it. Heavywoody is also, but he is not here as much as he use to be. Wicked was a Mod on the old site.
What about KFLO, Woody or Isaac?

Not trying to step on any toes here, just thought it could help.

I try to get on here daily, Jon just happens to get to everything before I do lol. I had put up an open call to the old mods to get a hold of me when I took over the site. Geoff was the only one that I had talked to, so I asked Jon, since I know him personally. I am adding mods as I get to it, right now it isnt that much of an issue, the security measures and maturity level on the board seem to be pretty effective so far.

The board is not that overwhelmed either... granted there are some days when I can't get here but then Will takes care of it if he's on.

But as will noted the security measures are pretty good on here right now anyways.

You did? heh, I guess I missed that one.

Sorry, I forgot to add you to the list Cliff. Everything does seem ok, but I still think your overworked Jon. Hey, is there any way that the number of posts approved for new members could drop by a few. I think we are losing people because of that. There could be a use for more Mods for that, I would say. Again it's just a thought.

5 posts is not a big deal and honestly, if they cant deal with that, then they probably shouldn't be here.

I hate to say it, but I don't agree. I think that is asking a bit much. How about three? I just would like to see more members here that's all.

im with will on the 5 posts.

if you dont have the time and dedication to stick around and make 5 valuable posts then your probably not meant to be here.

let me say it this way. if your not willing to put the effort to make 5 posts then your most likely not here for the valuable information and your only here to spam or cause trouble.

I was thinking more in the lines of those who come for help with something they are already frustated with. I think of this in a global mind set: the more Berettas out there the more parts there are for all of us. Everyday we are losing numbers. The Fiero has lived on because people pulled together.... we can do the same. We are doing good now, but we could do a little better on helping the new people. We always seem to run off to our favorite topics and leave new people hanging. I do this myself. I'm not bitching, just trying to say this is something to think about. By helping them in any way that we can we help ourselves. Ok, I'll step off the soap box now.

The fact of the matter is that if they read the forum rules, they will know about the mod approval and shouldn't have an issue. I do not plan to reduce the number from 5, 90% of the new members have not had an issue with this.

I am also not advertising the site anywhere yet, it is just listed with the search engines from before.

Ok, I'll say no more. Thanks for the replys.

Lock please.

This is the biggest issue... the do not do this and then are not aware of it.

Will can you also throw up a topic somewhere showing which forum sections require post approval just so they know that as well... Such as the Berettafest section, I think that requires approval for all posts IIRC.
