Of coarse SHOPS is good. They really help report a lot of the spam and bad things going on with the site. It's a faster way for Mods and probably Admins to find what is going wrong on the site. I'm sticking to what I said, SHOPS is a good thing.
I would agree that it is good. I always make sure to check on SHOPS periodically, because there are always users there that I would not have known of otherwise. It helps me get more members of the community warned, and more spamming off the site.
Well technically it is co-run by myself and Axel. I have full access to the page, I just prefer to pay attention to the spam reports, and let Axel take care of the rest. So it technically is co-run by a moderator. Is there any specific reason you guys wanted to see a moderator leading it?
I really dislike people like you RIXO. Also to answer Carlie's question, I would have to say that people might want to see a Mod leading SHOPS because Mods are like the most intelligent and know pretty much the most information about the site. Well, it doesn't really matter to me because Carlie is basically running it, but without having to do all that work that Axel does.
I also really don't see the point of SHOPS. It just makes the process longer to find spam. I'd rather have users post on mine or another moderators profile if they find spam.
It is nice that it gets people involved in finding spam, that's about it.
