Let's give the moderators a round of applause

Hello again, MoFos.

As some of you know, we're obsessive about keeping this board free of obnoxious spam. So much so that Sedai and I joke about who can get to it faster.

Well, in the spirit of this zealous spam hatred, I've actually thrown together a little script to help me track how quickly we've gotten rid of it. I'm still tweaking it in regards to calculating averages and the like, but one thing I noticed while perusing some of the results is just how fantastic our mods have been. You don't need numbers to see that this is one of the cleanest, most spam-free forums on the Internet...but we've got some to prove that, anyway.

Now, because this only includes threads moved off the boards, mods like Sir Toose and OG- are under-represented. So don't think you're not appreciated by not being listed below, guys! :)

Anyway, I thought I'd share some of the "high scores" in spam removal speed, to illustrate how dedicated they've been:

Caitlyn's Top Four Fastest Removals:

35 seconds
42 seconds
47 seconds
49 seconds

Sedai's Top Four Fastest Removals:

30 seconds
33 seconds
58 seconds
1 minute, 2 seconds

Ðèstîñy Top Four Fastest Removals:

19 seconds
24 seconds
24 seconds
24 seconds

Loner's Top Four Fast Removals

31 seconds
47 seconds
54 seconds
1 minute, 33 seconds
1 minute, 48 seconds

Awesome, eh? Thanks so much, guys, for all your hard work. And thanks to the other mods, too, who edit posts, close threads, and move threads to more appropriate forums -- things that are just as helpful, but don't show up in this particular measure.

Re: Let's give the moderators a round of applause

I don't think I even have one removal.

I think my talents lie more toward troll intimidation :D

I did get one guy this weekend... but ... uhhh your mom had to tell me about him.

Great job guys!

Word. You're MoFo's bouncer.

Re: Let's give the moderators a round of applause

Oh! I knew someone with a username 'Tivo' was gonna post a spam thread. I watching when he/she signed up.

Re: Let's give the moderators a round of applause

From somebody who zaps SPAM at another site, I appreciate everyone's efforts here. :yup: Thank You.

Re: Let's give the moderators a round of applause

I used to mod a chatroom so know what a thankless job this sometimes can be. Still, the feeling of innate power makes up for it, eh? :D

Have a drink on me!

Congrats Caity and Sedai.
We appreciate all of the time and effort you have put into MoFo. Your efforts not only keep the place clean, but it also helps keep this a friendly place. And in turn, helps attract other nice members to join. :)

No statistics on which mod has removed the most spam? :D

Re: Let's give the moderators a round of applause

UPDATE: Cait zapped a thread in 3 minutes, 55 seconds this morning, and when the spammer tried to post it again, she got rid of the second one in just 42 seconds. Huzzah, Caity. :up:

Re: Let's give the moderators a round of applause

HUZZAH!!!! to the mods

Re: Let's give the moderators a round of applause

Awwwww shucks... Thanks guys!

Now...

Re: Let's give the moderators a round of applause

those numbers are impressive. 42 seconds... that's some quick justice.

Heh; nah. I've been here the whole time, so it's probably me. But I get enough praise from you guys for the geeky features, so I thought it was time the mods got some more of that.
