Would it be too much of a request to make either me or @Smacktard (since he's a GW Sponsor) the mod of the Retro Gaming sub-forum? I'd like the ability to pin threads without bugging someone else to do it. I don't need/want any extra perms for the rest of the site, just the Retro Gaming sub-forum.

Either one is fine with me

I’ve added you to it, but, you and Kelly can fight to the death over it if y’all feel so inclined.

10k club and Mod in 24 hours, quite the rankings boost :D

Makes sense, we should've put one or both of you in there a while ago, you guys are definitely the two best picks for that forum!

Fuck it, I’ll add Kelly, too, then. Cover multiple time zones. We do gotta put some coverage on some of the other modless forums, but, that’s a future us problem.

Yeah, definitely makes sense. Coverage is always a good thing, and we'll work on coverage all of the forums as we go along.

Oh hey cool. I have a new blue banner at the top of the page. Now to figure out what I can do with it

It’s mostly pretty boring. I have a thread in the staff forum about how to do the basic mod stuff. Anything else you need to know, just fuck around and find out or ask someone that might know something.

This brings something up, are there functions that would seem like normal user stuff that is actually only mod actions?

As far as what goes? The member group itself isn’t very restricted at all to begin with, so, being added as a mod literally just gives you thread tools like this:

Along with that, you have the moderator panel at the top of your screen that pretty much grants you access to that, which, isn’t really useful considering most of what gets done around the forums is within that menu pictured above.

We don’t have hidden mod forums, the same one you’ve always seen near the bottom of the main forum list is the same one we use, but you can reply to threads there now. All members get custom titles and stuff like that, so, there aren’t any fancy benefits to being staff like there used to be.
