I have an office job, but am in meetings about 80% of the day. Usually I have my computer with me and can do the banning. Sometimes i do it from my phone but it’s much more tedious. Whenever i get the post report i can usually do the banning while still in the meetings so it’s really first cpme.first served. I’m on west coast time so JC and Tom often take the early morning reports that Sam isn’t able to get to. I have banned spammers while on the can multiple times. 🙂 ---

> [@Colibri](#): > > It takes over a dozen mouse clicks and opening several pages to ban someone and document the banning. That is insande. Since Ed says a big reason for the new theme is to make it easier for y’all to mod on your phones, maybe see if he can optimize that a bit. I would expect maybe two or thee clicks for banning (with one being a “are you sure” post) and then a list of checkmarks for why, including an Other for different situations. Surely someone out there has something that optimizes banning spammers. ---

Be honest, guys: Have any of us ever mis-clicked and accidentally banned **running coach**? Also of note: Any of us can ban spammers in any forum. Most of the spammers I’ve nabbed have been in GQ, when I’ve just happened to be reading it and noticed them, and when I get reports for spam in CS, usually by the time I get there some other mod has already taken care of them. And yeah, it probably would be worthwhile for us to figure out how to automate the banning process a little more. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Be honest, guys: Have any of us ever mis-clicked and accidentally banned **running coach**? I must admit I have accidentally checked his posts as “Delete as spam” instead of “Delete spam report” by accident since his posts are so often next to the spammers. He’s always putting himself in the line of fire. 🙂 But I’ve always caught myself in time. Sometimes I’ve clicked in error on thread titles that aren’t capitalized properly or nonsensical so they look like spam titles, or on threads started by newbies with spammer type names. When spam is coming thick and heavy sometimes I get an itchy trigger finger. So please take care that your thread titles are entire sentences that make sense, and choose your username so it doesn’t sound like a new drug.😃 ---
