What can moderators be doing better? Is there something that annoys you about how things happen, or is there something you would like to see happen?
To make this BBS open discussion short. The mods should give out more warnings to the new users. I am sure many mods have linked new users to the rules page. I would encourage the mods to be more involved with other users. Other than being on the NG chat. It is disappointing too see some mods only show up maybe once or twice every other week. I rather see more active mods than no mod activity alone.
Sure I may see a lot of crap on the general forum. Once I keep seeing it pile up, I just want to leave the forum completely. I tired of seeing 4-chan related stuff, hi and bye threads, internet memes, and other crappy MS paint threads, and attention threads as well. That is why I do not post as much on the general forums anymore. I rather be in the flash section, or Clubs n Crews, video games, or politics forum.
However, there are annoying users which can make the BBS far much worse than it is. I still encourage banning by having a REASON to ban him/her. I been here for a long time, I have seen much change. I have seen many good changes since the years I have browsed here. Overall, newgrounds bbs is just having a slow season at the moment. There has been no exciting news lately, that's all.
After reading THEJamoke remarks he does make a solid point that "If anything it has become less fun because of the influx of posters who disregard the rules, thereby forcing the mods to enforce the rules more often, not more strictly." Some people just will not obey the rules, so be it. You got a ban button. Use that button well mods.
Lastly, do not alter your banning habits mods. Unless you got a reason to ban. Like I wrote earlier, do not click on the BAN button without having a proper REASON to ban.
Peace.
