Title: Closing in on 1000 members
Post by: Corsair on October 20, 2002, 05:29:16 pm: slowly but surely we are approaching that magical number. Amazing. Plus, most of these people don't even post! Imagine what it would be like with 926 (our current number) active members?

wouldn't that ban you as well? :D
Title: Closing in on 1000 members
Post by: Levyathan on October 21, 2002, 09:39:44 am: Nope, it would ban everyone with member status. He's not a member (or not just a member), so he wouldn't get banned. Of course, assuming such button actually existed.

Actually, he's still in the member group. There's only three groups that are represented: Admins, Mods and Members. We didn't add any user groups and we have no supermods.

But isn't he an admin? I always thought he was.

Moderates all public forums. But I'm not Shrike, so don't listen to me.
Title: Closing in on 1000 members
Post by: Stealth on October 21, 2002, 10:29:23 am: but Shrike said there's no such thing as "Supermod", well, there is, but he doesn't have any. if shrike's an admin, he has access to all forums (moderating access) etc. so in that case what would a supermod be cabable of?

Had a chance to play Armored Core 3 yet? Styxx mentioned he got it.

Riight. :p

He hasn't posted for 6 days. Maybe he's busy in real life too, like all other admins.

No, I'm an admin. There's a difference in permissions.
Title: Closing in on 1000 members
Post by: Stunaep on October 21, 2002, 01:33:34 pm: let me see if I can get it correct: an admin moderates all forums, creates new ones, generally manages the things, changes avatars, adds titles, change post count etc.

A supermod can only close/open sticky/unsticky split/join threads. Like a moderator only with all forums.

Change post count?
Now I know how Carl mannaged to get over 10K.

By the way, don't touch my post count or else it's swiss cheese making time.

Yep, I played it for a little while (Styxx finally brought back our PS2, after a couple of months at his place). The first time I got beat up by him (I didn't know the controls, damnit!), then today I played again and got as far as that bombed truck mission (it exploded, of course). At some point they said I lacked skill. A bit disappoint, if you ask me, considering that in FreeSpace 2 they kept saying Good job! after each time I hit the mouse button. Didn't play much, though... Had to go back to Final Fantasy X.
