Yes. I'm pretty sure what what he's afraid of is that you would be even more corrupting to this place than I would be with moderator powers. I can at least admit it. :)
Heh, that donkey even thanked you for this post. I'm not quite sure he/she understood it properly lol.

I nominate danrambos, gerbick, ysss, and / or geneven as temporary moderators. They seem the most balanced and sensible and they have been around for longer than most of us. I'd nominate myself but I know for a fact I would be making a beeline for adork_uk, never mind the spambots lol.

Thats if they'd want to spare the time.....

I just hope they "relinquish their emergency powers after this crisis has abated". Don't want them getting all Darth Sidious on our arses.

If it is a pool I would ask for Estel, dr_frost_dk and ammyt, because they are regular in the boards and are contributors to the community.

Well, if they are willing to be screamed at by everybody else |:/

This had already 140 views, looks like ddos (tmo is working awfully slow to me, anyone else?)
All the extra people viewing tmo have probably searched google for that particular event and as tmo is normally a high ranking site, it appears near the top, hence the extra viewers here. This then leads to extra demand on the server and that's why people have been experiencing delays and timeouts.

is there a way to filter and block any post containing the word "streaming", or just prevent new users from posting hyperlinks?

suspect, who spam is a bas*tard guy? Thought he doesnt want to maemo evolve, perhaps he use ip changer.

There have been some really good ideas raised here. Hopefully Reggie can find something useful...

Sounds like deputizing. HEY! Looky that! TEXRAT's deputies! ;)
TEXRAT's Angels? :)
THE T-Team?

Remember I'm just a minor player here, especially where moderation is concerned.

I did see your suggestion. While it can probably help, that's another layer of plugin to monitor that can make the forum unstable. If you think about it though, how can spambots know the answer to 'Which company created the Nokia N900?' If they can answer that then they will be smart enough to skip answering that hidden field in that plug-in you are suggesting. That plug-in has been out for several years already and am almost sure they already know how to work around it.
