Who's This Character Board Moderation

Moderating the Who Board ranges from the simple to the complex. Let's start with the basics.

Marking a Post Solved

Under the reply, select an appropriate amount of XP, and click Mark Solved. XP can be assigned to multiple people. XP can be removed by clicking the Remove XP link.

Deleting Threads

Entire threads can be deleted by clicking the button. This will remove all replies, and lastly the thread.

Deleting Replies

On the left hand side of the post, click the Delete button.

Internal Links

At the top of the thread, you can easily enter in the ID of the character or series and click Assign. This will then place a nifty thumbnail and link for easy identification.

Combating Spam

The Who Board has long been the primary target of spammers. The anonymous ones, we deal with as follows:

L.A.M.E.

The LAME Filter, name borrowed from Slashdot. Any post containing a word on this list will be blocked from posting. You can Add a New Word here. Once added, scroll down to the end of the list and click Activate. The idea is to carefully look over SPAM posts for any word or phrase that would never, ever, be used in the context of asking for help identifying an anime character.

IP Blocking

IP's on this list will be prevented from many anonymous posts. You can add one manually by typing in their IP in the field next to Block IP.

Account Banning

Some spammers will register accounts and use those to spam. In this case, this post is to be deleted and their account banned permanently. From their profile, click Ban, select Duration Forever, and enter in SPAM as the reason.
