Title: Welcome your new moderator....Tank
Post by: Whitney on July 27, 2011, 05:57:44 PM
It was time again to add another person to the moderator 'staff'.

Tank has been nice enough to taken on the responsibility of helping moderate HAF.

Thanks Tank!

Welcome, Tank! Seems kind of funny to say "Welcome" since you've been here so long! Glad to have you on the Mod Squad!

Universals can ban, Globals can't. It's mainly spammers that get banned.

I hope you get the ability to at least ban obvious spammers soon. 
Sometimes I ignore threads with new posts because it seems to be spam.  Legit new post threads can be hidden by the spam.
Do you want us to report spam more?  I often don't because I think it's obvious.

Lol. I think that's going a  bit far.

Splitting threads on SMF is a ball-ache to put it mildly! It's a lot easier on phpBB where on can see the whole thread (rather than just pages), select the posts you want to split and bingo job done. Glad you liked the title, that took a bit of head scratching.

No problem. I did want to practice the process. Another annoying ommision on SMF (or a function I haven't found or have access to) is you can't copy a thread. When doing a difficult split I'd copy a thread into the 'back room', split the copy and then put the splits back onto the forum.
