So 2 or 4 years of not doing your job even once is enough activity to keep that job. Meanwhile,, the job is not actually being done by anyone.

I guarantee you, finding volunteers would not be a problem. I'm sure there are plenty of folks in the social channels that would like to clean this place up.

Yet again, theres more than enough of active ones to pick up the slack.

Please show me where it says every mod has to be active, then ill agree with this.

There are not enough active ones. I never see them take action beyond what is reported in the help threads. That is some serious one-sided biased moderation. They obviously don't have the time to deal with it so you need more people.

Isnt that pretty much what they're supposed to do?

I mean no matter how many mods there are, you still have to remember about time zones.

Some are probably asleep, at work IRL or a plethora of other things.

So just because they arent on the forums 24/7 doesnt mean they arent active.

Nope.

Fmods go based off what jagex wants them to do, not what you want them to do.

So if jagex tells them to do one thing, they have to listen.

Plus theres 0 reason to add more when the forums are this dead.

Excuses. Are they going to enforce the rules or not? It would be a lot easier for me to write posts if I don't have to anti-troll them in advance. I shouldn't need to put in that effort, and I have in fact stopped doing that.

@Roddy Piper,

You seem to feel like rule breaking is out of control on these forums. My response to that is, why don't you make a report on Forum Help if that's the case? I suspect that it isn't as bad as you seem to be making out as that's certainly not translating to an increased amount of Forum Help reports which we'd expect.

The rules have relaxed over the years and so has the traffic. Forum Help reports on the whole get dealt with pretty quickly. If traffic was higher and incoming reports were swamping the current FMod Team then there'd be a stronger case for more Moderators, but that just simply isn't the case right now.

You want ME to report all the rulebreaking? For free?

IDK how you operate but maybe you could assign mods to monitor the culprits. It would be super efficient. Yes, if you have a problem with the content you're seeing, report it and another volunteer will remove it from the forums if required - remember that everyone here is a volunteer

Having to monitor culprits or specific forums is going to be a chore a week later - I can assure you forum moderators don't go looking for things to moderate, at most they see it while passing by a post of interest, or when sorting someone else's forum help request. Life is like a camera: Just focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot !
