Thanks for the kind words @Shagger. I agree with your comments and have been thinking about it a lot the past couple of weeks. I'll circle back in a few days. Right now, I do have Email Validation and Admin Validation and I also have a database that crosschecks against known spammers (IP addresses and emails).
Just out of curiosity who would be interested in a being a moderator? @Crazycrab, @StaceyPowers @The Blackangel, @Shagger would be my top choices. We only need 1 right now. Also I would only want moderation enforced against new users/spammers. ie, if two established members are having a heated disagreement (which is common) I like to let the discussion play out. As you all know other than spammers and scammers I don't like to get in the way of what people have to do say. That's what makes us different from Neogaf, Resetera, etc.
