The "Ask The Mod" Thread

Hey, I have one. Whenever I click on that link of your's that says 'read the rules,' it goes to a page that says 'Invalid Announcement specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.' Why is that?

 

Oh. Thanks.

 

Plus I will be looking to change some of the rules in the near future, kind of consolidate everything as we're kind of a new team now.

 

What happens when you are turned into a moderator? Are there rules and stuff?

 

When you are a moderator, basically ur job is to moderate the forums, like watch over the posts and what people do or say that should relate to it. Also you can do more things than a regular member can do, like move, close or edit the topics.

 

Well, i knew what a moderator did and stuff, i was wondering if there were moderator rules. Thanks anyway.

 

Actually I'm not sure if there are rules for us. I think the same rules apply as before, we don't get exempted from the rules just because we can close and delete threads.

 

The moderators are members just like you, the rules are in place for everyone and that includes the staff members. It would be silly if we enforced a set of rules that we didn't follow ourselves Hope that clears things up

 

We all have rules. We can't abuse our powers, things such as that. This is not a dictator forum.

 

Just wondering how to change my current username.

I haven't had the internet since I first registered here and now that I have it again I want to be more active on this forum and would like to change my username.

However, there doesn't seem to be an option for that in the User CP like most forums.

So I thought this place must be like one other forum I used to be at and I'd have to PM a Mod or Admin?

 

Unfortunately, you can't change your username, once you choose it you're stuck with it for life. The only way it could be changed is if your username is inappropriate in some way, but I don't think your username is going to offend anyone, so sorry!

 

There is, but I think what LDC meant was that there's no conventional way to do it, not that it's impossible. The problem is, TD probably doesn't want to deal with everyone asking to have their name changed.

 

Okay thanks everyone. I'm not overly fussed about it. Just needed to know if I had missed the option somewhere in my CP. Thanks for your help.

 

How does the rep system work here. Do we get more than one green box, depending on you rep points.
