Title: Risk of this action?
Post by: TopAce on July 26, 2004, 08:19:48 am: I did a bit of private action with my moderator powers in the SWC forum. I opened a TEST thread and I started to test my powers with it. I experienced a lot of things(everything a moderator should know). I erased the first post and then I got the 'Invalid thread specified' message next. I came back to the forums and IT SEEMED AS IF the thread was still there. I clicked on refresh and the thread disappeared. Do you know if it was completely removed?

I am asking because I do not know if I did something permanently wrong. :nervous:

Post by: Taristin on July 26, 2004, 08:41:36 am: It's gone. The page was most likely still present in the temporary cache on your HDD, and when you refreshes, it reloaded the page, rather than recalling the cached one that it accessed originally. :)

In other words: You're safe.

Post by: ShadowWolf_IH on July 26, 2004, 09:40:14 am: Sometimes it can be useful. for the first time in since i was given the capability to do things...i used my mod stuff. I stickied a thread. lol

i don't think most moderators even bother doing what they can. so while yeah it is overrated.....we can't just be handing the power to every newb who posts what it must be nice to have em.

Post by: Taristin on July 26, 2004, 09:54:20 am: Very true. I'm a mod over at NW. All I really do there is a title swap every now and then... (Since threads are hardly ever locked there...)

Also in the TVWP forums. I've had to lock a few threads in there... *eyes DC, Tin Can, and himself*

Post by: TopAce on July 26, 2004, 11:35:52 am: Moderator powers are especially useful if you do something wrong you wouldn't be able to restore without moderator powers(typing mistakes in thread names or poll options).

Post by: Falcon on July 26, 2004, 12:48:21 pm: Hmmmm yeah I must admit it would be just being a normal poster only with a few privalages but hey can't blame a guy for ever wanting a little something extra in his profile.......

If you will excuse me.......

Post by: Thorn on July 26, 2004, 12:52:04 pm: About the only time I touch the moderating powers is when I need to sticky a thread, or clean up some of the old crap that will never be used again.

Post by: TopAce on July 26, 2004, 01:39:15 pm: They not only have powers, they are invincible, untouchable, undoubtable and omnipresent(if we disregard the existance of the General FreeSpace and the FreeSpace Modding forums..) :)

Post by: Zarax on July 26, 2004, 04:40:22 pm: Moderator powers can be useful to deflate flames and righten threads if used well...
I've got a forum about some Microsoft technologies, and change title + delete post are the most used options, sadly followed by ban...

It's not just nonsense, it's entertaining nonsense; there's a world of difference.
