Official Mod Discussion Thread

Post by Josiah »

Um, the previous mod discussion thread seems to have disapeared. I'm guessing someone accidently killed it while deleting spam so here's the new one. This thread is for mods to discuss things like forum settings, problem members, spam, new forum sections, and the like. In addition, members with questions related to those topics can post them here for the mods to answer.

So, the forums now require admin account activation. However, sorting through all the new accounts by myself is a pain in the neck. So, I was thinking that sometime over the next week or so I'd created an e-mail account specifically for all the activation e-mails to get sent to and give any interested mods the login info so we can all just get on whever and check out however many new accounts we have time for. So, anyone want to volunteer to help me out with this?

Sure, I'll help out. Count me in.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

I've said all along I think that is a good idea. I'm all for it.

Note to Shauni, Opal, and Silver regarding that PM I sent you...

For some reason, new account e-mails are still going to my inbox instead of the new account. I'm gonna give it another day or so to see if the problem corrects itself, if not I'll start troubleshooting. I'll post here when the new account is working correctly.

The new account e-mail address is now working. Instructions on how to use it are in the PMs I sent last week.

If one of the mods could handle the new user activation e-mails for the next week or two that'd be great since I don't know how much I'll be able to get on.

Um, I could volunteer, if regular mods can do it.

I think they can as long as they have the e-mil account logon an all that. Ask Silver if he still has the PM I sent him with the instructions. If he does that'll save me the trouble of retyping it.

I've sent him the PM. I'm not allowed to do this in work (the URL has been blacklisted), but I will see if I can do it at home, you know, help out more

My cousin Alan is trying to join the forums. I’ve tried logging into the spamkill website in order to authorise him, but I’m not getting in. Can someone authorise him please? He submitted an account request on Sunday.
