Hmmm. . . .this section has been overtaken by Phone Sales & Buying threads/adverts. . .despite a section created solely for the posting of such threads and repeated warning by the mods for such peeps to desist from posting the threads here.

My suggestions:
Set the spambot to automatically ban the posters and knock off all Sales & Buying threads/Ads to the Phone/Internet market child-board. This can be done by tagging certain words or strings common to all such threads into the spambot.

In cases where such threads escape the spambot and the posters are not automatically banned, the Admin & Super moderator should ban the posters with the reason for their ban clearly stated. ie ''For posting a phone ad in the phone section instead of in the Phone Internet market child-board''  

^^^^A really hard line has to be taken otherwise it'd be business as usual.

Mahn, no be small thing o. When I first became a mod, my battery dey fully charged, blood was boiling & red hot and I bin dey do ''gra gra'' dey move the threads sharply but e nor tey before I tire cos frankly no mod can keep up cos of the alarming rate at which the Phone sale/buying threads are been posted.

I then adopted a siddon look attitude for this section and concentrated my attention more on the other board I co-moderate.

A new mod is very welcome but he won't make much of a difference unless there is zero tolerance for the POSTING OF PHONE ADS IN THIS SECTION AND IT IS ENFORCED FORCEFULLY BY BANNING SUCH OFFENDERS. With time, all men go comply and post their phone ads in the right section. . .The Phone/internet Market childboard.
Re: Interested In Moderating This Section? by Seun(m): 7:26pm On Aug 22, 2011
What would it cost you to remove advert threads 2 or 3 times a day? Your excuses are unacceptable .
Re: Interested In Moderating This Section? by Akerekoroabijawara(m): 8:10pm On Aug 22, 2011
Sir, Application for moderator. I hereby apply for the post of moderator in the phone section,nairaland.i get B[eng] in elect/elect, M[eng] in technology mgt.
Re: Interested In Moderating This Section? by n3rve(m): 8:51pm On Aug 22, 2011
I agree that the rate at which topics are posted in the wrong sections are, to be honest, quite overwhelming. It won't be long before moderators burn out. I think having 2 or 3 co-moderators with the ability to mute users will do some good.

Re: Interested In Moderating This Section? by Seun(m): 11:22pm On Aug 22, 2011
The section is the way it is because the mods are not even making any effort anymore.
There are sections that get more spam and yet are cleaner than this. It's the mods' fault.

That's a little bit too harsh.Part of the reasons why i've declined from being a mod in this section is because of the spring cleaning one has to do regularly.Honsule and semid4lyfe have tried their best to give this section a good look but the boys are not just smiling.I think an outright ban will reduce the menace just like you have done in other sections.

How far about the money issue?I'll be willing to take a pay-cut to serve you cool

Can't you see how this place has turned into a BB market?People were selling Nokia phones quietly then the crapberry had to come ruin everything.Any mod in here will surely have head and body aches at the end of the day.

You are not well, lol.

I actually find it frustrating trying to read through posts in the Phones section because there seem to be more ads for phones for sale than anything else.  I think Seun may have a point, even if it's a bit harsh. 

There were land ads in this section for at least a week.  After the first few were posted, the poster threw caution to the wind and next thing there were like 5 or 6 land for sale ads, and they stayed there for a while.  I did a "Report to Moderator" but they were still there a couple of days later. 

In the light of the sticky by one of the mods not to put phones for sale here, it just seemed funny that even more phone ads were clogging the phone section, so it was a bit like a lion without any teeth.  Having been a moderator on another site I know it's not easy, but you have to be persistent and consistent.  Only then will people get the message and show some respect for the phone section.

About tagging 'common words', that isnt easy cuz there isn't really any distinct 'common word' which can be associated with such threads and if there's none, machine cant work. . So it all bores down to 'human action'. . The mods.

I agree. If it came down to common words some ordinary posts could be blocked and there would be even more problems.  Human action and antispam bot can work well together, but the humans have to keep their eyes open and not just rely on technology to do their work for them.

@ Mukina - I wonder if the person who wants to moderate should have a minimum amount of posts on NL?
