Why are all of the Admins/Mods Inactive?

[antperson24]

Also why are all the topic/forum sections locked so I can't make a new post except on everything else. PLZ admins idk whats up but I don't wanna post all my ant questions in a section not about ants.

You should be able to make a new topic. I just looked, and I can.

I see thx

Just had a look and I remember giving 3 people the "Rank" / Group "Trusted User". It was mainly to give access to a hidden area in the forum in where I created a few FAQ topics to work on and to discuss a few things. Oh and to hide some of the spam topic to add new words to the spam filters and also to just get the "crap" out of your guys faces.

I remember finding the reason why there were so many spam posts day in day out and it was just a matter of removing permissions. It was crazy how quickly that reduced the spam amount.

They also have permissions to move topics from Temporary Placeholder elsewhere if they want to and if they have the time for it.

All of the mods/admins are inactive (except for AntLuxembourg). If this place is ever going to be alive again there are going to need to be more admins or mods that are active so that they can to make updates, help with events, and possibly advertise. I suggest a few new admins and mods, I think SYUTEO would be a qualified person.

I don't mind at all. Since months I'm mostly just trying to keep the spam away and I am happy for anyone reporting spam topics that have been hiding somewhere where I don't find it. I also keep track of who I have banned and I always check if I can add a mail address / server (example @gmail.com) to the list to reduce the spam.

In case you noticed the bots seem unable to solve my security question so far and as long as no one posts the answer anywhere it will stay that way.
That's why I cannot explain it here any further. If anyone one wants to join in as a moderator, let me know and also send a request to info [at] AntsCanada [dot] com. It might take some time but they need to discuss internally. Also that's how I became an Admin.

Sadly the spam has ruined a lot of the forum and I'm sure there are still some accounts being used that were created years ago or where a password was used that is in a security break / leak. You can check yourself here. https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords

Anyway, more moderators would probably be helpfull, so antsluxembourg does not have to do everything. I could also take up the position if it is needed.

Feel free to ask for it.

I have had multiple accounts on here but after a while they don´t let me log in so I have to make a new one. This is my third.

I'm more than glad if I could help you with this. I think I know the issue. Feel free to tell me the names if you remember and I can look into it.

You can write down your password somewhere and keep it safe, if the forum logs you out, you can just refer to the password you wrote down. To avoid mistakes I often write the password on paper first and double check it's correct.

Normally your browser asks if you would like to save it in your browser.

Not all are locked. Just those that were used for the wrong purpose. Like "The AntsCanada Ant Main Forums" It was filled with Ant IDs and topics to ask for advise. We have Sub categories for that to focus and concentrate those topics. I'm not going to clean up tho. ^^
Would be nice to have some helpers / Moderators here.



Anything else that I missed? P.S.: I saw this by chance cause I got curious to see if there were any Sugguestions. ^^

CombinedHalo467, LoverofAnts467 (this one might be wrong it was a year ago and only lasted for a month or so ) believe since they were a while ago, the first one I think I was locked out of because the email it was made with changed passwords so it wouldn't let me back in, the second only lasted for a little while and then locked me out for a reason I cannot imagine.
