How about a new forum feature

[Speedmonk42]

Ok, this is not NTs forum, but it would be a good feature.

A flag option that sends a post to a 'special' place. It would be weighted by the number of posts of the person flagging.

So if someone with say over 2000 posts flags it, bye bye.

Yeah it could be abused but unlikely if weighted towards those who are forum regulars... cause they are all angels....;)

This was for spam by the way.

I think that's what the admins are for.

I'd like to flag this post to a 'special' place.

sorry, you don't have enough posts.

All I am saying is trust the people of the community to get rid of things like porn ads.

The amount of spam is only going to get worse.

I think we just need more regular moderators. That would do the same thing I reckon. So it would be likely that those who are at 2000+ posts and are solid contributors to the community are the ones who should be given moderator status.

It's really the difference between a community driven forum, and a commercially driven forum. Understandably NewTek will want to keep moderator status, etc, as it reflects their company. But still, doing nothing also has a negative effect.

Other than NewTek staff, do we have moderators now?
