What is VSTF? Well we kind of got inspired by Wikia for the idea (thanks dudes). It stands for Volunteer Spam Task Force. This is a group of forumers who clean up the spam on this forum and ban the spammers (the black magic "find your lover, totally not a scam!" bots). Like V in VSTF implies, this is strictly a voluntary role. Whether you apply or not, it's up to you (though whether you're accepted or not, its up to the mod/admin team). What are the requirements for this role?- Have been around this forum for a while (in other words, your forum account wasnt born yesterday) - A decent amount of quality posts (so we know you are trustworthy) - Active on this forum on a daily basis (whats the purpose of joining the VSTF if you're only active once a week?) What the VSTF isn't and should not do- The VSTF are not moderators or admins. Leave that to the friendly purple and orange names floating on this forum - Delete threads/ban members that are not spambots (if you're not sure, use the report button and tell us why you're not sure) Note: The mod and admin team check the security logs several times throughout the day. Abuse of power will get you kicked off the VSTF and at least one forum strike. Apply with the following information: - Username on this forum - How long have you been around here? - What's your time zone and when are you active on this forum Apply Below

What the heck. I hate spam bots. While I certainly have no desire to be a moderator, my hate of spam bots is greater. Sign me up.

I haven't been around for long but I hate them. I even reported them on multiple occasions. Also the recent ones are sort of up my alley since I can read the language of origin.

We know some of y'all, but please follow the application format and include your time zone (it'll be pointless if all the VSTF members are in 1 time zone)

Why is it always the french folks, who refuse to speak english? Vous devez apprendre la langue de Molière, voilà pourquoi !
On another topic, I'd say situation on the forum is bad. What about putting a barrier when creating accounts that should only be validated by admins ? That's the best way to treat that problem IMO.
I don't suggest myself here because I'm just too irregular around here. But it seems a lot of people volunteered, so you will prevail, ha ha.

No, that's the good thing about forums. 99% of users who register in forums/wikia, are NOT spammers and vandals.

Thank you to whichever mod that deleted the threads and banned the spammer. There is no knowing when he will come back, which I predict he will.
