Moderators Abilities

Apart from the ability to move or delete threads, what other special powers have the moderators got?

I remember seeing somewhere that they can see you IPAddress when you post. Is that true?

Is there anything else they can do?

 

They can see your IP address, yeah.
They can also ban you and edit posts. Some of them can change your name or pretty much anything about your profile, I guess.

 

I hope they can move threads.

 

They can kill posts. True story.

 

I heard they can turn water into coffee..

 

They can view private albums.

 

I've been here longer than anyone and have never been a moderator. Don't want to be, either. Seems like some of a moderators are control freaks and like abusing what they think is power. I guess it gives them an opportunity to exercise what they don't have in real life. Kinda sad, really.

 

SOME moderators can see your IP
SOME moderators can mod ALL of the forums, edit posts, move threads, merge, split, all that moderiffic stuff you'd expect.

real mods can see the mod forum

All mods can avoid being ignored.

some other shit.

 

wrong.

 

from what I have been told it's reasonably tricky to forum ignore me simply because I have my own personal forum

I imagine if you can\have ignored a mod it's because they've allowed it. or even requested it be made possible.

I know I sure as hell can't put skip on my ignore list, or balbus (last time I tried)

 

They can walk on water too, I heard.

 

I can, and so can anybody else using Firefox. The days of websites looking the way the onwers want them to are over andhave been for awhile.

see user support forum.

 

That's colouring outside the lines

I'm aware of that.

just as I can block every ad and java\flash script on every site I want.

I'm talking stock, you can't block mods\admins using the basic parts of the forum

 

You did use the term 'forum ignore'. So yeah, you drew the lines....and I stayed within them.

 

bullshit, you're using browser ignore.

same computer, person switches to opera, logs in, and there are the posts they've "ignored"

 

no shit.

I simply pointed out using a term like 'forum ignore' cause problems....and you are proving that.

 

And I am saying you DID colour outside the lines, and you are confirming it.

 

You're both pissing on different sides of the same line, essentially there is no disagreement and thus nothing to argue, stfu, that goes for you to davey.

 

can they read your PM's?

 

verdict is still out on that.
PROBABLY not.
I would say certainly not for mods, but, whether they are accessible or not, I'd say they have to be for legal reasons.
