Forum moderation volunteers

Is anyone here interested in volunteering to approve and disapprove new member posts? Let me know, and let’s fight the AI/LLM spam together :smiley:

If you need a hand again, I’m here.
In fact I noticed the slowness in removing spam and other problems.
This time I’ll just stop being an asshole, so I don’t give any more problems.

As you can see 90% of the reports come from my “SpamGPT” method which I use to spot spam posts instantly… :laughing:

…for how long?

The posts already present “speak” for themselves.

good :slight_smile:

:+1:

I am on quite a bit and can certainly assist in removing spam. I am also cat friendly. :slight_smile:
Some of my best posts are not actually my own!

I think the important point is that it is for “volunteering to approve and disapprove new member posts”.
Unfortunately, several moderators of the present and past cannot restrict themselves to only performing this task, and they drift away into
policing others in how to write their articles, and edit articles when they are not to their taste. Often without mentioning their account name.
Hopefully MikroTik presents them with clear rules on what is allowed for moderators, and maintains these.

In fact, when I was the moderator they took it out on me, but then things continued the same even when I wasn’t anymore,
it couldn’t have been me… If you know what I mean…
Anyway I understand what you’re referring to, but it seems to me that lately it has stopped …

I can do this. I’ve been moderating multiple web forums for many years.

Count me in as well if you need extra hands.

It did not stop. My comments and many others were simply deleted from the 7.10stable thread and many other threads. Any mention of poor software quality and boom, comment gets deleted.

The only reason for me personally to still be here is because network operators can’t always afford Juniper or Arista or Nokia. However, I’m working with white box vendors to get things implemented and supported, and eventually we’re removing all MikroTik hardware/software, and I’ll be exiting this forum for good.

Some tend to overuse the freedom of speech which is given to them arquing that “what is not forbidden is allowed”.

And others tend to abuse their moderator powers to impose their will that “what is not forbidden, should be.” I believe Normis has weighed in a couple of times on that front. Stop spam, crap GPT posts, but don’t tell me how to quote others.

It is a perfect example how tough medaration process is … do treat/respect others as you want to be treated/respected.

Well said… Which is exactly why I don’t pretend to tell others how they should post so long as they aren’t posting spam, inappropriate material, or otherwise abusing the forums.

I can help with this responsibility as well. IDK if a minimal amount of post is required for such task =)

I’ll volunteer to help.

I am interested, i apply for it

Moderation is as tough task as bringing up kids. Kids always find “a gate” in the well known but not written down rules and use it focusing on the particular part convinient for them. You ask to clean a desk so they drop everything on a floor and present clean&tidy desk standing in a pile of crap. No way to discuss as you asked for a clean desk not a clean room. And so on …

Oh, come on, do you think that Normis asked for help just for approving posts just of new memebers and not for typical everyday moderation?
