This spamming crap sucks, but I don't think we need another mod.

You can usually trust us to recognize the need if it exists.

Also, I emailed Chris about the spammer problem. I'll consult with him on the best solution, whether it be more moderators, or something else. If we do decide on more mods, then we can start discussing candidates for the position.

Wow, I just compared Mod status to being a Medal Of Honor. Gotta drink more coffee..........
While the scale of achievement may be WAY off, a Medal of Honor isn't an inappropriate comparison. I've nominated and signed off on a number of mods/admins over the years (including our three most recent staff appointees). None of them asked me, or campaigned in public. I just recognized that they had done a LOT of work on the site and seemed like good, reliable folks. At the time, we also needed more people on the staff due to the higher volume of edits/forum postings. So I nominated them.

Regarding the Medal of Honor: When SSgt. Salvatore Giunta (of 173rd Airborne) was decorated recently, did he ask his CO for the recommendation? I think not. Even now, he's still tried to be as humble about it as possible. I'd kinda like to see future IMFDB prospective staff members demonstrate the same values.

For future reference who would I message, any Moderator? And spammers I could at least delete the and clear up the message boards to make them more enjoyable to use. Report their accounts to someone who can restore server. I could just do some good damage control and help keep things running smooth.

Why is it that only the mods get avatars? When are you guys going to change that?

In the words of Principal Todd Moss, you people don't deserve avatars.
