Mod powers.

Andrew, we really need access to the admin panel.
In times like this, when all the admins are asleep, moving, or at major competition (SD3) no one can do anything.
The case study here would be Jamescarter.
Sam and i have followed him around deleting as much as possible, but thats just an inconveniance to us, we shouldn't have to do that, we should be allowed to just straight up ban him, so we don't have to follow his shiit around..
And its painful having to pm admins just to get people warned, wouldn't it be 100x easier us just being able to do it.
You said you were just going to test us first, then assign sections and give us more power to do stuff, but that hasn't happened yet.
Cheers.

 

[D= its sam!!]

agreed, just spent like a hour deleting all his posts, he stopped but now hes just stretching profiles and the chatbox witch mods cant do anything about.

Sorry that you guys had to do that. But its not like this kind of things happens once a week. But yea it does happen, and on the off chance that an Admin isnt on. It is kind of your job to do that. The Admin Panel, is only for Admins for a reason.. Were Admins..lol. But like i said, I wouldnt stress to hard over the JamesCarter thing. Because its not something that happens alllll the time.

Aaron! They wanted a 1 dollar bill for everyone to sign for you, and all i had was a 5, but i put it up. No one had a pen or marker or anything so we didn't end up doing it.

yeah, i asked tyler to do it when jackson was at his place, thought it would be a nice little memento, i would've happily sent back a $10 Aussie note signed by all us locals here for you
Haha.

There's times where I get so god damn pissed by stupid immature kids in the forums and I warn them but it doesn't actually warn them and it would be a lot easier to be an admin but yeah.

Haha it'd be awesome but i'm not expecting anything.

The case when admins are idle for a loooooooooong time, is rare. There are admins from 3 diffirent timezones. Ones from USA, i'm from Europe and Jake is from Australia. That is plenty enough to keep it under control and you can bug any of the admins in AIM or MSN, so add them up for your AIM/MSN lists.

My msn is friiiik@hot.ee if you wanna reach me.

Btw, JamesCarter case is nothing, since there's at least one admin online in every 2-3 hours.
Happens, but it always gets dealt with pretty fast, unlike SR's usual shutdowns because of MySQL issues which means the whole site is down for like a day or more.

Plus, since Andrew doesn't maybe know the new moderators personally, he might be afraid that you would make irrational decisions from time to time, EVEN if you promise not to.

edit:
I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but that request might not be accepted due to these reasons.

 

[danielwarwick]

I figure it's worth a shot to request it, if by some chance we were given admin powers and someone makes a mistake andrew really disagrees with, simply take back the power.
