Yes...I see so many spam posts every day...I having viewbie powers on CID forum, am able to trash them as and when I see them.
But if only one person is responsible, and that person is inactive for some reason, the whole forum is filled with junk posts.
There's also the issue of MID checks and stuff like that...definitely Sony needs a CM or if some people can at least become moderators of indiviual forums that'll be helpful...shows like Adalat are running without any mod or viewbie.
I think every forum should have at least 2 people - a viewbie and a mod/CM.
For some reason, the admins are hesitant about promoting people.
Even if someone makes a request / volunteers they are ignored as if they are some kind of over-enthusiastic, irresponsible kids who want to hog the limelight.
I am saying this from my personal experience...there was some trouble on the Satyamev Jayate forum and the mod wasn't around...I was willling to be viewbie as it was a short seasonal show and I was regularly watching it. But no one responded nicely and I felt as if I was being snubbed. Then I decided not to bother...I realised that to be a DT member here , it's more important to be on friendly terms with some people than being a sincere member who wants to keep a forum clean. I left it at that. As I mentioned on another post...I miss someone like Ambrosia who was willing to give new members a chance.
