Basically, went through all the official clans' boards and monitoring the amount of spammy/off topic threads. Trying to get them to use one common thread for anything un-related/off topic. And deleting spam threads.

When you have fixed up the clan, please change it to italics. Don't rush through these, as to do it properly you need to skim through the threads etc...

Those that are verging on spammy just need a kick up the butt and one or two threads fixed up.
Best way to fix most of these is to get each and every clan to use the one common "Off topic Thread" for all unrelated posts.

Is there anything that needs to be set in place to prevent this, or...?

"Need translation:"

Elaborate please.

As in, I cannot understand what is being conversed within the threads. So cannot make a judgment as to if the threads are to be classed as "spam" or "on topic".

<Uric> Hey Nirs.
<Uric> I could use some help.
<Uric> Clan Mods are going through clans and trying to clear some stuff up.
<Uric> spam and whatnot.
<Uric> But, it becomes difficult to determine what is what in the Russian clans
<Uric> So, if you could please look the russian clans over on this list for me: http://forum.toribash.com/showthread.php?p=3831972#post3831972
<Uric> That would be great,.

<Nirs> kk

<Uric> At the moment I am going off what Andrzej has said. But I wanna be sure.
<Uric> I gotta go now, but please post what your views are within that thread.
<Uric> Cheers bro.

<Nirs> okay. i checked russian clanboards. all are as always:
a little toribash related threads, a little floods. i dont see topics for forced cleaning... i dont sure that [MM] Movie Masters is alive clan, but ill check it.

No such nick/channel


-----------------


every clanboard has local moderators and i think they knows better than we what threads are they needs. imho.

Thanks Nirs.

Also, can someone please have a chat to Doxxy about XIII?
He got really defensive with me, and the only thing keeping their clan alive is those game threads.
=/

Have you tried giving them something better to do?

Such as what?

Yeah I'm kinda stuck on that one as well. I would have suggested something otherwise.

Otherwise it looks like he has already cleaned up his board in accordance with the rules.

It's not your job to give them something better to do. If they can't maintain activity through any other means than a game thread then they're not eligible to keep their board. They can chat about games/play them via. other means.

Phew, perhaps I did get through to him then.
