Kerbalstar Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 How come we now have two lead mods, @Deddly, and @Vanamonde?. Are you both the leader of the mods? When did @Deddly get a promotion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dman979 Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Van isn't telling you how senior he is. Why, his social security number is 000-00-0001! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinalFan Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) I have been using tinypic to host my pictures. It has worked in the past, but right now all it shows is a busted link. Is this my computer being stupid, tinypic being stupid, or new forum policy? Example (please ignore if the below is an image) [edit: TinyPic is dead; long live Flickr. This wasn't the original problem though; I believe it solved itself.

Deddly Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Thanks for the kind words 10 minutes ago, kerbalstar said: Oh, really? Then who’s the lead lead mod? Well, we have four levels of seniority on this forum: 1) Moderators 2) Senior moderators 3) Lead moderators 4) Community lead (Darth Badie and UomoCapra) Lead moderators basically share the responsibility that @sal_vager used to have as Lead Moderator, except that the three of us together aren't half as good as he was. So there is no single head moderator anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, but it only seems that way because 2/3rds of the stuff Sal was doing was behind the scenes. Not joking or saying it to be nice. It's taking about 5 of us to keep up with what he used to do by himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerbalstar Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 How much time do you spend thinking up those fun little "moving" quips like: This report of a mission has been moved to Mission Reports, or This work of the fans has been moved to Fan Works?

Vanamonde Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 None. I started writing those because so many people asked, "Why was my thread moved?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This question of a moderator has been posted in the moderator-questioning thread. To expand on what Van said, we generally like to make our actions as moderators as publicly visible as possible, to avoid charges of selective moderation or bias. Of course, there are times that we don't make everything public, to avoid public shaming (think about if you've ever seen us say which posts got removed from a thread) but we still try to let users know that some action has been taken and why we had to take it. The only time we regularly don't annouce our actions is if we have to issue a warning, because those are strictly between the moderation team and the user at fault. And even in those cases, we still make sure to state to the user what conduct forced us to issue the infraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a star and a circle, but they seem to signify exactly the same thing. I believe: Circle: You have not posted in this topic. Star: You have seen/posted in this topic, and there is a new post. Click me to jump to the next new post. Clear star: You have seen/posted in this topic, and there is no new reply. Although, what is is when there is no star or circle?

Geonovast Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 1 hour ago, HansonKerman said: Although, what is is when there is no star or circle? Simply means there are no new posts and you haven't posted in the topic. If you click on a topic that has the blue circle, and don't post, then you'll be caught up on the topic, so the icon will disappear. Every once in awhile I'll mark the entire site as read, I think it helps to easily see if there are new new posts instead of old posts that I just haven't read yet.

Ultimate Steve Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 About the one time name change thing, is that a software limitation or just a very enforced rule? And if the moderator changing a name were to get the spelling wrong, would they change it to the correct version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the moderator changing a name were to get the spelling wrong, would they change it to the correct version? As far as I know, it is a rule designed to make sure that users can remain recognizable. If we allowed unlimited name changes, it would get very confusing to remember who's who- not just for the moderators, but for everyone. And if Van we made a mistake, we'd fix it.

Our goof would not be held against you. And the main reason for the one name change rule is that while it's not difficult, it does take a few minutes each time and repeated ones would create a lot of work for us. Or for me, anyway, since I'm the only one who has access to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
