Most forums i belong to have moderators, these moderators are normally good consistant posters who are pretty level headed, it could be a way to reward some of the better posters in this forum by giving them a bit of power and responsabilty, it wouldnt cost the BRM anything, any thoughts ?

The difference is that most forums doesn't require full name, address and phone verification or ID, so we have much less problems here. We mostly deal with a little bit of spam every now and then but it has decreased significantly since a highlight of the rules were added at the "new thread"-page.
We wouldn't mind having one or two moderators eventually but right now we are 2-3 with the power to edit all posts/threads and around 150,000 other people with the ability to hide inapproriate posts, so you're all kinda co-moderators already

Nope - but I have sources that tells me when he's about to do something he will regret once he sobers up
lol, if i made a poll of the 10 people i consider to be moderator material whould you make the winner a mod ? you dont have to give them any power, just add "moderator" under their screen name, could be fun, wat ya think ?

We don't actually use "ranks" anymore, so nobody has a rank ... including admin, now that I think about it. Well, except on the Mobster-profile page, that is.
But no I don't think we would make him a moderator, not even without power. Mostly because it would be confusing to other users, and a moderator would have to seriously consider what kind of posts he posts as he would also become "the face of bankrollmob", not only to the few posters behind the 200 daily posts, but to the hundreds of other members *viewing* the forums, without posting.
------------ But feel free to create the poll - would be interesting to see the result. (Just hope that nobody will feel offended for being in 10th place or not included in the poll at all)

Why would BRM need mod's??? I use to mod at a large poker site and it was bs.Ii do not envy Admin his job at all. As for starting a pole to see who would win, well is that just not a popularity contest? Surly intentcity4 you can come up with somthing better than this!

yeah im slipping hey, how bouts i start a poll and ill add 20 names to it, "the best posters of all time" ill call it, and the winner (pending admin approval) will have something like "BRM legend poster" under his screen name, the one i did last year tony added 5000 mob points to the winner (bigfoot), no need to go that far again, just add something to the winners screen name no one else has, thoughts ? its just a bit of fun.

lol buddy sorry but I have to say it. Are you looking to get a "standin" under your name? If so then just say hey Tony, can I get a "BRM legendary poster" thingy put up under my name?
Come on intentcity4 I know that given a little time, you can come up with a better idea. Maybe, you could start a thread,( and ask tony to delete any off topics in that thread), about new ideas for BRM emebers. Start it off witha few ideas and maybe watch it grow to where you can make a poll with the great ideas . Just a thought.
