They do a good enough job, sometimes seem to have power trips but hey thats life. I'm not sure on the senior members thing either, its been said that they can be used to test out new forum features and stuff, but surely thats what moderators are for, I'm not saying SMs should be scrapped, but I'm thinking maybe there should be a few more moderators. There are people who are on the message board every day and are good members, I think they should maybe be upgraded to moderators, and maybe have forum moderators too, I know it says the annoying Forum Moderated By: thing underneath but its not *that* annoying, and it would ease the workload off the few moderators there are. People like Joel, Lewis, and Dave are doing a good job on the forums, but theyre not usually online every day, so its usually Mark and Adam that get called upon to do moderation duties, along with Tom and Danny. I think maybe people like Tomm, George Seamons, Tic, and Janson should be moderators, as they have been on the forum a long time, and usually contribute to the forums very well, and they know when to lock threads and when stuff is going out of hand, and they all come online very regularly. I think it would just make the mod's jobs a lot easier, I know this board is very well moderated, but there are still the odd shit posts which get posted in the Members forum, and it gets annoying with repeat topics in chit chat and stuff like that, I mean thats personal opinion, but so is the whole of this post.
I think what I'm trying to say is upgrade a few more SMs into Mods and then that will lighten the workload, not that the mods seem to be struggling but I dont see how a few more would cause problems.
