While I cannot speak for the Moderator(s) of this Forum, I assume if they could find one or two extra folks - WHOM THEY CAN IDENTIFY and TRUST, they would probably appreciate the help moderating this Forum. I've seen a few replies that mentioned this is not a job or career for the board operator and moderator(s) and they are right. I am a moderator for a Group on Yahoo and you would be surprized how many messages we (there are 4 of us) get about "a message is pending approval" or "Username would like to join." Even with tight restrictions, one or two get by us...but not for long.
Be prepared, one thing that will likely go away is the easy method of posting messages here. I do not have to type a validation code before I post. Another thing we will likely soon loose, the ability to just surf or post - look for memberships in the future.
Moderators, you have a tough job. Just wish we could find the idiots responsible for the SPAM and somehow launch a DOS on them.
