Update 2021-03: If you are looking to send a PM to a general Admin or Senior Mod account, please copy HoffmanMyster (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=25096) and user 18 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=31350). Many users have been messaging the Moderation Team (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=34190) account, which is perfectly valid, but is more difficult for us all to check in on and read messages. As a general rule, if you are ever sending a message to the Moderation Team account, also include HoffmanMyster and user 18.
CPTBadAss' Original Post:
I received a PM from a member who wanted to have a name change. The person said they couldn’t figure out who was a moderator or not. I thought the admin and moderator team were going to publish a list but they haven’t. But I think having any kind of list out there would be helpful. So here it is.
Please feel free to edit as you need admin/moderator team. I also think that this link isn’t very descriptive or concise (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=35892.0) so please feel free to merge this thread with that. I’m only listing this as a guide for those who are looking for help. I also may be missing some people.
For site moderation matters (content, behavior). First, if there is an obvious offending post which breaks the Forum Terms of Service (TOS) (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39249.0) in a non-trivial way, please use the report button on the lower right corner of the post in question. If the problem is more general, please first contact one of the moderators on duty first (any moderator that's online at the time, as per the blue names in the "who's online" listing on the homepage). If your issue can't be resolved this way or you feel that the decision was unfair then please contact the Senior Moderators.
For technical issues, if possible please post in the appropriate thread in feedback/suggestions. If there are issues with your account or sensitive information is involved, then do please go ahead and PM an Administrator or Senior Moderator. Otherwise, a PM is not necessary.

Why are you not a mod?
-
Why are you not a mod?
I don't want to be a moderator. I quit the last moderator-type position I had under the Keepers/Curator. I'll never be a full on moderator or admin.
-
CPTBadAss is not, and never was, a moderator. He was the Lead Curator (formerly Keeper of the Faith), until he resigned that position. I am currently the sole Curator.

That could be put in the OP post too, seeing as how it is an official title.
Maybe a list of makers and vendors also could be helpful to someone?
-
What happened to the bards?
Nixed.
if anyone wants a more detailed version PM me, but i think jd is trying to keep it on the DL
there's not much of a good story though, we're all still friendly

The curator belongs in this list, but the vendors may belong in a different one, that is by nature commercial.

Every Vendor has a Vendor Subforum, so that group is easy enough to discern. Do you want a list of Makers or Artisans?

As the British say, there were redundancies. Downsizing. It was decided to be an unnecessary position, and done away with. That's really all there is to it. It doesn't have anything to do with the members chosen as bards, as they were all good people (TS, Input Nirvana, and Vibex).

I'm 99% sure I've seen random people with a vendor tag who don't have a subforum.
But I think any list that could be easily made to share information would be helpful to everyone.

that looks like it's been mostly fixed recently, but i have seen it before
if you notice it again, PM a mod/admin

Yeah. Seriously, there's no need to create an air of mystique about this. There's no good story because there is no story. ;)

yeah but it's more fun to be all :triangle: about it
and you've got more posts than me again hoff
i've been slacking
but yeah there's no real story to it at all, i'm just being a butt again

I'm still planning to make a comprehensive list of all sorts of useful administrative/high-level type stuff that's scattered in different threads, and I'll add this to the list. I think the idea for something like this was kicked around a few times, but fell through the cracks (as CPTBadAss alluded to).

Can we get Hitler ratings next to the mods for demik? For example, Hoff would rate 1 femtoHitler since he's not evil, but is a mod, necessitating a tiny bit of Hitler.
And yes, this is a joke

Come on, hoff at least equates to 1 Ilsa.

do you really think demik has time for ratings? 'fukk da poleease' is not a complicated concept, as long as who he identifies as da poleease is clear cut, although it seems to blur into 'literally figuratively **** everyone' so who knows
i almost called demik hitler and giggled like a little ***** for a minute

I've been begging for years to be a mod, and they finally broke down and anointed me "Lord-God-King-of-the-Bards". I mailed E-Lax donuts to everyone as a thank you joke, then they not only ****-canned me (pun intended) but all the others in the group too. I doubt the other bards are talking to me since I haven't gotten so much as a PM from them. Thin skinned bastards.

Just wondering: Is there a Court Jester position? If so, I nominate myself, as long as I get to wear pointy shoes with bells on 'em.

Feel free to don yon pointy shoes with bells (hereby dubbed "bejingled winklepickers") on in anticipation of receiving your Court Jester title... post pics.
-
On second thought, some shoes with embedded clicky key switches might be more appropriate. Click, click, click... "Ah, I hear the jester coming—get the cream pies ready!"

Considering that many MK fanatics spend most of their time pecking away at their computers, the occasional egomaniacal declaration of superhuman power seems healthy. Indeed, it may be the closest many of us get to actual exercise.

How come ashort is still an Admin after over 2.5 years inactive?

How come ashort is still an Admin after over 2.5 years inactive?
He is not actively functioning as an admin, but is still listed here because in an emergency type scenario he could theoretically be contacted and do admin things. Yes, a reasonable course of action will be to bring some new admins on and replace the inactive ones, and that will come with time (it's not something that myself or the other mods can really do).

This is an interesting statement. How has the process for this changed? It seems that you're saying that you're not in control of this- so is MD in control of it? Just curious...

In the past, iMav has had complete control over things on the backend, along with rknize (who has been the most active in recent years with maintaining/updating things). After the hand-off to MD, that structure will change, but I don't know exactly how things will look at this time.

Cool... just thought it was interesting that the least active were the ones in the most control. I guess from there, it can't go anywhere but up. Thanks! :thumb:

Yep. -_- This has been a point of frustration among the mod team for quite some time. It's very difficult to implement any real improvements when there's a lack of support on the admin side. This is one thing that I think will only improve with a real team brought on board. :thumb: Time will tell, of course, but as you say, it can only go up. ;)
Just an FYI some of the links in the OP aren't working on tapatalk.
Boooo, tapatalk... I think they re-tag the URLs and in the process bork them all up. :rolleyes: Are you still running that super old version of tapatalk though? I thought I remembered you using the old Pro version. Wonder if that's causing issues?
