I felt that a person who had rule over 10+ forums should at least become a Super Mod, but other people think otherwise. -_-;; Sheesh...a SuperMod = Mod with control over all the forums, so it wouldn't do any harm.

I have all the admin powers, it’s just kinda unclear how much authority. >P
Zapchu Smod = Person with control over all forums, banning, and higher staff decisions. But yeah, I get what you’re saying~ IMO there’s no one right now who’d make a really worthy one, even if it is pretty quiet in the HQ with so few opinions.

*giggles* There's still the old/senior mods, like, uh, Tommy and ML... DT would make a good 'un too, methinks.

I still like the idea of a R-Mod. It'd make sense. :/

"R-mod"? Did you explain that concept? I didn't see it.

It's an idea that me and Kimi cooked up one day. o.o

R-Mod = "Root Moderator" = Mods all the forums, but has no access to AdminCP.

Just like a regular super mod without all the PC bits and pieces then?

I'd see no reason for them to ban - they can take care of anything the user puts out until a real SMod gets on.

Think about how they would feel though, they'd feel like they were stuck with all the work but weren't trusted enough to make decisions like banning.

It's sad to say... but I was kinda hoping I could be the first to do it. :P


And who said they wouldn't be trusted? It's simply the next step before getting SModded.

Sure you could let them do that, but there’s really no reason not to just go ahead and give em the power.

When I was just a mod, I’d report things to Andy all the time. I’d post on the thread to cool things down, and eventually they just gave me smod so I could live up to the potential. Would be kinda silly to trust them with all the forums, implying the forum as a whole, but not giving them the full capacity. It’s kinda like how we could hold things down here without Andy, Jake and I having admin powers…but we’re here enough, and it makes things easier if we just have the powers to do what needs be done when it needs it.

Out of interest, since you can't see the logs, are the non-undeleteable admins (like Zappy) able to see them, or are they the same as you?

Eh, whatever. You could always offer it to them, I'm pretty sure would be more than willing to leave hte messy banning to others.
When I was just a mod, Id report things to Andy all the time. Id post on the thread to cool things down, and eventually they just gave me smod so I could live up to the potential. Would be kinda silly to trust them with all the forums, implying the forum as a whole, but not giving them the full capacity.

(and yet, you give mods sig editting powers...............)

Well, like I said, I like the idea. Kinda like an "In-training" session for SMods. *shrugs* Or for those that can handle forums, but you don't want having banning powers *coughmecough*
I dont think Zappy is undeleteablebut if she is, I dont think that would she could necessarily. Theres a different between S-admin and undeleteable, no?
Yes, it's two different sections in the config file.

Rule of PC: To have adminCP access you must be a hypocrite. ^_^
I get what you’re saying though. Don’t want to drag it here though, so I’ll shush. Honestly if we smodded you and you felt you weren’t able to handle banning powers, you could have told us or something, and we could have separated you out. I think that’d be more something a person themselves could know, that us determining it. =\

DT: Don't...provoke, we're just debating the idea.

It's not just banning powers I was meaning, it included all AdminCP powers - like usergroup changing, etc.
Props greg, props, very subtle way to try and become Mod again?
o.O Why would I do such a thing? If they want to remod me, then it's their choice. I just noted that's why I originally thought it up.
