Can I report the mod?

magicpiano

Hi, I wonder what would happen if you report a mod. Who will get the request? Ok, I'll try that now, CyberGene.

magicpiano

@CyberGene I reported you. 🤣

CyberGene

The reports are received by the mods and the administrators. Currently there is an admin user (which I use to change settings) and CyberGene is a mod, so yes, I received you report 🤣 I'm not sure if I can ban myself though 🤣

So, you have 2 users: admin and CyberGene. A clear case of split personality… 😵

CyberGene I'm not sure if I can ban myself though

I'm not sure it would be a bug or a feature… 🤨

I think the admin can also delete users, whereas the mod can only "suspend". Here's how your report looks like:

In other words, if you’re feeling lucky, you can try flirting with the lightning bolt ⚡️ but do not even think about messing with the wrench 🔧

I keep the admin in cases I make another user a mod and he bans CyberGene trying to hijack the website! 🤣

CyberGene U should consider a deputy at some stage 😀 In case you get abducted by the Illuminati. Because then we will have no one to report non-woke folks to

Do we get a badge?

After three days of mental involvement here, as well as some technical effort until this forum looks and feels good, I feel rather exhausted, needless to say I have my main work and already behind schedule 🤣 Not a problem in our job but anyway, I need a rest, so I accept (self) nominations for mods that can help 😉 Taking in mind this forum isn't expected to need a moderation, it would be an easy task anyway.

CyberGene I think nobody will complain if you lay low for a while. The forum is technically running excellent at the moment, and it seems that no real moderation is required right now either.

So my suggestion would be to still wait a little bit to see where this goes and who will remain active before appointing other moderators, unless there are candidates that are especially keen to take up the role.

Well, not a self nomination - but I nominate @MacMacMac - I hear he is retired - so he must have time. Just don't give him the power to delete Pianoteq praising posts 🙂

What I’m trying to say is I think can go offline for a while without this place going off the rails completely in your absence.

Monoch… without this place going off the rails completely in your absence.

Good laugh with this one… Monoch: never underestimate the will of This Tribe to derail any forum… Wait and see… 😊

Monoch

vagfilm yes to be honest I was having second thoughts while writing that… so probably should rephrase that to “not going off the rails more than is to be expected”.

I think CG needs to better define the role of moderator.
Didn't he say that there need be no bans? Almost no rules?
If so, I don't know what a moderator might do.

Maybe it is an honorary position? 🤔

On the other hand, you would have the possibility to ban users at random. Isn't it exciting? 😆

..... hmmmm, people with the notion “ moderator” is nearly one and the same with “banner” .... i wonder from where they got THAT idea; trick question? 😆

It seems to me that many but perhaps not all do like partaking of the occasional banter, like a nip of good fire water to lube the engines of thought for repartee shall i say? ... can’t we walk and chew gum at the same time?, IE. banter without a banner but with the idea of a moderator with emphasis on moderate effort to remind us as needs be .... how about we have a reminder instead of moderator?

vagfilm

The ban of the month raffle. That sounds promising…

PS- while contemplating or reminding our raisin de’etre, remember too we are still Pete14-less😢

Its easy to assume that you who’ve virtually known him for years have not figured out a way to get this message to him, but ..... maybe he’s seen the calls for his presence and is of the mind he’s had it, with all of us or maybe particular ones of us. Either way we are still missing his insight on things piano and the other things that come with this wild bunch 🙂
