CatastrophicFailure Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 8 minutes ago, Vanamonde said: Not that are allowed to remain visible, anyway. 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. So if someone’s name gets mysteriously changed to something silly and embarrassing, we know who to blame, right?

GearsNSuch Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Hold on a minute... It's Vanamonde? I always thought it was Vananamode, as in "virtual banana à-là-mode." That changes everything... ... (Research) ... So... Arthur C. Clarke. Figures. And now I'm craving a banana split without a single specimen of (non prehistoric) musa in the house.

TeslaPenguin1 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Ok, I’ve been wondering... How did @sal_vager get a picture in his rank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone in that forum member group has that extra picture. But only Sal_vager is in that member group. When he resigned from the moderating team to travel the world, we made a special member group for him as a thank-you for all the work he did for the forum.

Chel Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 If for some reason, all data was wiped on the site (like all accounts lost, threads gone, rep lost, everything) is there like a backup save of the site or something? Or would we all have to start over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanamonde Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Actually, we probably shouldn't be giving out any specifics about our backups and security and stuff. And no, I do not check this thread first, but I do check it every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snark Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 2 hours ago, Redneck said: who is the head admin these days? i know it used to be aLeXmOrA Info about the moderator staff is posted here: There are basically three "tiers" of folks running things: Community leads (@Darth Badie, @UomoCapra): These are Squad employees, and are the ultimate authority in the forums. They have godlike powers only guessed at by mere mortals. Lead moderators ( @Supernovy, @Vanamonde, @Deddly): Can do everything a regular moderator can do, plus certain additional "administrative" powers. Everyone else: i.e. the rest of the moderator team, including me. Within the "everyone else" category, a few of us (myself included) are designated as "senior moderator", but that's just a social convention and doesn't convey any actual powers-- the so-called "senior moderators" can't actually do anything that other moderators can't. (This is reflected in the fact that it just says "Moderator" under my name-- as far as the forum software is concerned, that's all I am.) Put in practical terms: I could ban you; Vanamonde could erase you from existence; Badie could make the whole forum go away. So please don't annoy her. Because she's nice, and because we like her, and also because she could slay us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just look at his profile. https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/profile/3-alexmora/ As you can see, he's listed simply as "Members", which means no current Squad affiliation is documented. I guess you could ask him... though his profile shows as not having logged in since March 2016, so I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a response.
