    Do you think they would promote someone to mod status? Because if we are getting hyped about this and the chance to get more mods, only to find that Noel doesn't want any more, would be a bit disheartening.

  • I don't see a reason why they would not promote new moderators or at least promote somebody to an administrator.

    If you don't mind me asking, what's the difference between a moderator an an administrator? I know they are both ranked higher than normal users, and can do forum changing things. How do they differ?

  • Just the permissions that they can do.

    A moderator can move and edit posts and also ban members. My control panel gives me access to a post queue (for when people attempt to reply to the announcements posts) and a list of reported messages. Regarding members I see notes, warnings, and bannings. And I can edit posts and apply a sticky to them.

    An administrator can promote members to be moderators and probably has a few more abilities that I don't know about.

  • I'd support new members being given moderation priviliges.
    I've had a great time with Subterfuge but as my play style was quite involved, it couldn't last forever. And then it gets harder to stay connected to the community.

    Currently active players would do a much better job at keeping the relevant posts stickied etc. As was mentioned, moderation is extremely light, the player base is really cool. :-)

    I hope Braxo's message to the devs leads to new mods being appointed. If not - let me know through PM if something needs to be done, I'll be notified through email. Unfortunately Braxo and me can't do anything about the attachment limit.

  • We voted here viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1880 and it seems like Jany and Nojo are the leaders. I think everyone is happy with that, so if you (or Braxo) wants to inform the devs, you could

  • As if he hadn't been waiting before...

    Thank you to Stefan and Braxo for coming back to the forums. Maybe we can have a "Subterfuge renaissance" of some sort!
