User blog:LQ1998/Mods don't know how to mod spam?

If you get on the LMB you know things are going bad there. Spam is pretty bad in the MB forum. WA has been talking to users about how to fix this (Though she doesn't sound like she's willing to do anything). I told her just to reject duplicate topics. She said she won't do that. Yep, flat out no. I tried to tell her that it's the mods job to keep the forum clean and running smooth. Then she said my view of the mods is skewed and that it's the users job to control topics.

The thing is, I am a mod on a site called clubpenguininsiders (I'm not sure if I can say that here or not. If the mods ask me to remove it I will.). We have almost 50,000 members, and are getting more every day. I clean spam there on a daily basis. I delete duplicate topics and no point post. And I know It's really not that hard to press delete when you've seen a similar topic.

She also said there is no objective way to judge spam. That is where I wanted to say MODS ARE NOT SUPOSSED TO BE ROBOTS!! But I didn't :P. Really, it only takes a bit of self judgement to deside if something is spam or not.

I respect the mods, but it seems they're just being lazy and are afraid to go outside the book.

P.S. I'm on a computer that sometimes removes paragraphs so this may be hard to read. If it does I'll fix it later.
