In an effort to improve the quality of discussion in certain parts of the forum and provide better spoiler protection, we're looking for more moderators for the book forums and the other fantasy forum at this point.
These moderators would concentrate on spam and spoilers and would be able to edit and delete posts, move threads to the appropriate forum, warn offenders (with this nifty warn function, it's cool), etc.
The idea is to try to keep the book threads on topic as well and the emphasis would be on gently reminding people, which is why I'm not suited to do it myself

I think it's pretty obvious when someone has just let something slip or gets sidetracked when responding to a thread, which is fine. I don't think it's a bad thing to start a new thread if someone has something interesting to say about a topic unrelated to the thread they're in, for example. Obvious spam that has nothing whatsoever to do with the forum, let alone the thread, needs to be mercilessly crushed of course.
So, if you're interested, post here and state your preferences, ie., you could be a moderator in all the book forums or just one or two.
Obviously, any blatant abuse of mod powerz will result in the loss of amusement among the other staff and unspecified consequences/repercussions.
Thanks in advance

ETA:
A list of people who've communicated their interest in one form or another to be one of these mods:
Cougar
Bubba
Aptorian
Dancer
Lisheo
also, these moderators could help with the spoiler tags that don't work correctly after having been moved from the old board. Wherever you see the spoiler tags with the spoiler text visible, you simply 'edit' - 'quick edit' - 'complete edit' and it's fixed - three clicks. It would be a big help
