| Hmm. Some of its eems ok. But I noticed they dont request any experience information. Also requiring each person to refer one person each day, that could become quite a hassle. Especially after they just start making new accounts themselves. Also I dont think requiring moderators to start new threads all the time is a good idea. You want your members to create the threads and you want your Mods to moderate the threads. Sure mods can post but they shouldn't be required to meet a quota per day. | ||||

Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 10,246 Location: Athens, GA   | Agreed...what's in it for the "Moderators"...what they are basically doing is promoting a forum for hours per day...more than many admins will spend on their own forums - all for just a moderator tag....I just don't see many people willing to do this voluntarily, it's something that people get paid good money for. That aside, I've always been under the impression that the job of a moderator is to moderate posts, not to increase activity, recruit, promote the forums, etc...this is all stuff that they should do, yes, but not a requirement and not something that should be monitored....if your moderators spend more time recruiting members and what not, then call them "Promoters" not moderators. I think that finding 54 people to do what was described is about the same likelihood as getting a pig to fly

Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 51 | Not sure Ryan, getting a pig to fly would probably be easier. A better method would be to give money per new member or some kind of system where they get stuff back. The one who brings in the most gets a free SD Card or something. Is there a hack for VB that allows this? Or even for most posts/threads?
