This is an overview page for website moderators, who delete spam, ban spam users, etc. to keep our site clean.

Moderators can:

  • block users
  • spam comments
  • unpublish/delete notes and pages

This is a serious responsibility and we have to be careful not to misuse moderator power. Only ban/block/spam if you are sure that it is in fact spam, and please tell the other moderators. (we may be setting up a moderator list soon, but right now it's Jeff and RJ)

How to moderate

... more coming soon

Comment moderation

The simplest moderation task is to look for new comments. If you're subscribed to all new comments, you'll get emails as new ones are posted, and if they look suspicious (i.e. "beautiful jewelry" or "raiders tickets") click through and investigate. If they're obviously spam, you can use the links below the comments to "Submit as spam" as shown in the image below. If you're not sure, it's worthwhile to click on the author's name to see if they have other legitimate posts.
