Hurray for the new moderators

Those of you who read the latest newsletter may have stumbled across some interesting news. AGD1 decided to move to the land down under to work with AGD2 in person. Well, she arrived there safely a while ago. AGD1 and AGD2 mostly posted messages in the public forums while on their way to the private forums. Since there's no longer a big ocean between the two AGD's, they won't need to visit the private forums as often and thus, their presence here will be toned down as well. (with them concentrating on current work at hand) The AGD's visiting the forums less also means that two of the three people who watched the forums will be less active online. That's why we asked two of our enthusiastic fans to join as moderators in order to assist me watching the forums. These people already did a great job more or less moderating unofficially, so we had no reason not to give them an official status. Three cheers for Adeyke and Wolfgang Abenteuer!!!

P.s: As you can learn from my own new title, I too got more or less promoted.

Congratz to the new moderators! I'm sure you'll enjoy your new position.

Hehe, when I opened up the forums and saw that Erpy was no longer listed as a moderator anywhere, I was half expecting to see some big "I QUIT!" thread here. Glad that's not the case - good job guys :)

Hey, congrats, guys! Heh, so much for that "Defense Minister" title, Wolfgang. (Although, surely "Moderator" is more impressive.) <p></p><i></i>

Yes and no. I still fulfill the duties of a moderator, but I'm also the administrator now. (and administrators aren't listed on the community list as moderators, hence the sudden disappearance of my name next to the folder-names)<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashs ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

Well, it basically means I have total control over the board now. (I'm starting to sound like a megalomaniac now, don't I)<br><br>Moderators are normal members with the added rights of editing other people's posts, deleting them, sticking topics and moving threads.<br><br>Admins can do a lot more besides those things. A couple of things:<br><br>- customizing the board (the way it looks, several settings)<br><br>- Giving people moderator status.<br><br>- Viewing people's IP's.<br><br>- Banning people. (ironically, I got to test this one out one day after becoming an admin)<br><br>- Creating/removing forums.<br><br>Well, there are more things, but I can't think of any more examples right now.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashs ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

There's yet another title to be earned that's ranked above defense minister. But I doubt anyone's gonna see that one for a while.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashm ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

There seems to be a pattern. First change after 50 posts. Second change after 100 more posts. (150 total) Third change is evidently after 500 more posts. (650 total) Would that would put the last change at 1000 more posts? (1650 total) <p></p><i></i>

The order is:<br><br>0 - 50: Peasant<br>51 - 150: Royal servant<br>151 - 550: Knight<br>551 - 1000: Defense minister (got added recently I think since Wolfgang was already past that point and got the title later)<br>1000 - infinity: ??????<br><br>I can always add another user level at 2500 or something, but I'll probably have another year or so to think up a nice rank.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashh ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>
