The "Official" Message Board...
« Reply #30 on: April 01, 2005, 07:18:58 pm »
I noticed the increase of meaningless and flame-worthy posts over at the official board. I really don't chat there that much, I just like to see what everyone else is saying. But today, for example, there were something like 46 people logged in at once. I can only imagine most of them were the people from the other boards. The official boards REALLY need some more moderators. I'm sure the girl there now is doing the best she can, but she needs help. It's really a pain to have to sort through all of the stupid posts to get to the ones with even the slightest hint of substance.  :roll:

Edit: Just a warning to any of you that may frequent the official boards...there are now people that have taken it upon themselves to post pornographic photos within their messages. I'm so incredibly horrified that I PMed the moderator pleading with him/her to do SOMETHING. That forum isn't even enjoyable anymore! And I feel worse for Vanessa who can't even have a nice place for her fans to go on her official website. If you ask me, THIS should be her official message board, and not that other horrible one. Ugh.

How to solve the problem:

Start from scratch with a new board.
Make administrators approve each new member.
Give the moderators the power to ban people. It is cumbersome to request a ban when someone keeps on registering new names.
Give the mods the power to put in a temporary IP ban.
Have a tough, consistant moderating policy.
Use forum software that doesn't suck and is more secure.
Have five or so dedicated mods.
