Sadly enough I message Eki a lot, and he never answers me back. I think I only ever got one PM from him about some issue that arose and it was only once, and last year.

I heard that two users utilize his account, one of them removes spam and the other is the Eki that we know that makes changes to JF, answers PM's, and assigns new Mods.

The Eki we know who creates threads is not as active as the Eki that removes spam posts.

Kanji does his job just fine but he's just one person, why do we have... 5 mods if only one of them is an active member? Why was CoolNard made a mod if he doesn't have time to drop by?

Exactly. One mod for thousands of members? Not good. Maybe a petition? I know online petitions aren't usually effective, but if it's about an online forum, then maybe it will work. It's definately worth a try.

I see.

Well then, you could pm him yet again and say the best thing would be for him to pass the power of naming new mods on to you.

I already sent a very lengthy PM to Eki about it, so we'll just have to wait until he pops up. I reckon that if everyone sends him a PM about the mod concerns, the next time he comes on he'll put that top of his priority list and sort it out.

Hopefully. Lets cross our fingers. *crosses fingers*

I did just that. Hopefully he'll come on and read what I wrote about making me an Admin so JF can get the kind of attention it needs.

Like I told him, I don't intend to steal JF from him, since it is his forum after all. I won't tamper with what he's done and won't do anything without telling him, other then making Mods, I will work with that while he decides what to do with the rest of the forum, being active, I know who and who not to pick for the Moderation position.

I have forwarded quite a few posts people have made about their thoughts concerning spammers, members, mods, and so on.

Cool.
Now we can only hope he reads it sometime soon and agrees to your suggestion. We're so lucky to have you ^^ And... I'll say no more, don't wanna seem too much of a mod-ass licker.

Whatever happens, we (I only got 67-ish posts, who am I kidding?) just gotta' remember as a community that changes are good and needed, but they need to happen slowly, especially in a community like this one, with 2,000+ members, but only a good handful of actives.
