Currently the mods are Inq and TC. Inq never comes around so we effectively have only one mod.
According to him he signs on every day. 🤷
Does he sign in for 3 seconds than leave, or just lurk all day? I'm here all day long most days and seeing inq logged in in such a rare occurrence that other users will greet him with surprise when they see him.
You could ask him yourself, when I asked him he assured me that he signs on every day and reads a bit of the content here.
What do we actually need the additional mod for, to silence some chat spam?
Basically this yea. Usually it's KKK. He's getting as bad as cawk for making chat unusable with puppets that can't be muted. Increasing with frequency, nearly every other day now.
Lets make a topic to note these infractions with a sense of permanency, then we can handle it from there. To do otherwise is mostly going to incur the "is spam really that bad" arguments.
If cawk could have chat and post rights restricted to limit spam, why can't the same measures be applied to anyone when they are acting that bad?
Did he? I don't recall him being limited more than other chat users, but rather his access to this site as a whole was what was limited.
We otherwise have a spam filter that has caught other users who'd felt the urge, but again like Luna's SC it's just a matter of learning the timing. I could request Meta speed that filter up, but if it's already catching people in it's net who aren't spamming then it's liable to snag even more people in the crossfire.
