Hi Mark,

I am very curious to do this. Please contact offline. Thanks.

Why would he contact someone who doesn't even bother to read the whole post:

Ideally we would have a system to a) remove old posts and b) remove spammy replies like this (bad grammar+new account). We've discussed on and off for years, but no one has had the time to lead. I'll try to check in on the planned new jobs.drupal.org plans, *if* I get a chance. Thanks.

I'd write a patch for DO to cover issues like this, but I gave up on writing patches for DO, as they sit in the infrastructure queue for months without acknowledgement, so it's a waste of time.

(bad grammar+new account), so only people with good grammar can ever post to d.o?

Because you didn't read to the end of my post.

I can almost see a reason for not deleting these, but a "Topic Closed" option or something similar would be nice.

Well, if you developed it now, and posted it to the infrastructure team, you could probably get feedback from them in a year or so, and after another year or two of debate, it could be implemented here on Drupal.org!

There are a variety of reasons I'm uninclined to ask for official moderator control of Paid Services. One is that I'm skeptical of my snap judgments.

On #drupal-consultants, for a long while, I tried to play the primary moderator role, but did not want ops. Rather, if there was a problem that I felt needed intervention, I issued progressive warnings, then messaged an op such as Michelle for intervention. This seemed to me better, as a second pair of eyes, distanced from the encounter, could make an independent judgment-- and protected me from abusing power.

All that said, my preliminary understanding, is that if I or someone else assumed moderator status here, they could approve infrastructure changes (maybe not).

Possible existing dysfunctions in the community/infrastructure process, notwithstanding. (I'll hold comment).

Actually, you don't even really need to be a moderator to request a second pair of eyes. The 'report spam' link goes to the webmaster queue, with the settings to report spam pre-selected, but you can change those settings to other values, and request a pair of eyes to look at the comment/topic for whatever reason. Then it's up to the webmasters to decide what to do with it.
