VoidCosmos Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) I was just wondering. Why is there a difference between the community rep count and the rep received? Edit: Shouldn't it be the same? Edited January 27, 2021 by VoidCosmos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikenike Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Why do you guys keep the old mods that have drifted away from here on the mods list. And isnt HarvesteR still under KSP Team list of them on the forums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of years (and a couple of thousand posts), in my case. 13 minutes ago, Mikenike said: Why do you guys keep the old mods that have drifted away from here on the mods list. Because they're friends, and in some cases their absence might not necessarily be permanent and they may drift back. Bear in mind that we're just volunteers, we don't get paid for this, and we have to deal with day jobs, family matters, school, etc. like anyone else. Sometimes folks don't have time for the forums for a while. 13 minutes ago, Mikenike said: And isnt HarvesteR still under KSP Team list of them on the forums? Not sure what you mean-- @HarvesteR left Squad quite some time ago, and his profile is currently listed simply as "Members", same as most users.

Oh, I thought it was listed as KSP Team Member still. I understand that, but some mods that have left, like Sal for instance havent been on in like 3 years, although he could have been anonymous........

You'll note that @sal_vager's profile says "Moderator Emeritus"-- the only person on the forum in that category. Sal's special. He was a mentor and friend to us during his time here. For those of us who've been fortunate enough to know him personally, he's the guy who showed us what it means to be a moderator here. The special title is our small way of honoring him.

You don't see everything we do. Some of those people are still active even though they seldom post. Others may be busy with real world stuff. And as Snark said, they're our friends.

Spaceman.Spiff Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 What’s the difference between a moderator and a forum admin (wondering because I just saw one online.) They have red names.

Setting changes, updates, etc. Moderators move posts/threads around to keep things organized, manage arguments/unsuitable posts, ban people for asking too many questions, etc. edit: Since this part seems to have been missed, I'll clarify.

Vanamonde Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Generally the moderators handle interacting with members and enforcing forum rules while the admins concentrate on software and hardware matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoidSquid Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I suggest to make a sticky post "How to report bugs" as part of new version announcements if there isn't already one (which, obviously, I haven't seen). Over and over again I see questions/reports about something not working properly, only to find the respective issue already reported in the bug tracker.

VoidSquid Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) I see. Mostly, yes, As you can see from my signature, I mostly try to help with modded installs (who doesn't love mods), no such link to the bug tracker in the post I'm referring to. And even in the "how to get help with unmodded KSP"-post you mentioned, the important point of "please check the bug tracker at https://xyz to see if your issue has already been reported before asking for help" is only mentioned deep in the text, not as an important bulleted point like KSP version or Detailed explanation. Hence my suggestion, seeing again and again questions "I have this issue", to add "check the bug tracker here before asking" when it is already a well known issue.

VoidSquid Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Just checked. in the sticky post both links in the paragraph Check the stock help sticky and stock known issues sticky: you might be running up against a known issue in KSP itself. Self Help, Reporting Guide. are pointing to a black hole of old forum posts: The page you requested does not exist Edited February 3, 2021 by VoidSquid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an easy fix. You cannot do it on a mobile device, however. Go to the upper right corner where it has your user name. Let your cursor hover there. From the drop-down menu, select Account Settings. On the left of the new screen, you will see several options. One has the icon of a pencil with the word Signature. Click it. Make sure the toggle is slid to the right. Should see a blue toggle background. If not change it. Edit your signature until your heart's content. Then click Save.
