Re: Spamfest
I have deleted the problematic topics and I have done a slight modification to guests permissions.
I will keep an eye on the forum to see if this solve the problem.

Perhaps having a moderator (or three) for the general sections would help.

A good idea. Best bet would be two users who post at least once a week. Pandora comes to mind.

Or a group of them. A moderator group would enbsure there is always a moderator on hand. Just give regulars (read: not strictly regular, just people who have been on it for the past few years) powers.

Red Mod Speak. On another board I go to the mods and admins use red lettering to inforce things.
