+hydee Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 Moss da Boss is back and has offered his wonderful services again as an approver. We are glad that he has returned!!! Now that he has given his admin role a second chance, I hope you all can play nicely in the sandbox. I know my mother taught me at a young age to be nice and not throw sand. Happy Geocaching! hydee Quote

+Lance Ambu Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 Well done Moss! Hydee obviously didn't use a rolling stone Another cheeky question, Are you leading the charge? Lance It's dark and we're wearing sunglasses. Quote
+Teasel Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 Welcome back to the front line! Good on yah! Will you be moderating the forums as well? Though, fingers crossed, they seem to have quietened down now... GeocacheUK - resources for the UK Geocaching community. Quote

But then, I'm sure an old soldier like Moss can handle a battle fought on two fronts! "Woof" quoth he. Oh, and "Grrr" also. What Trolls? Quote
+Hi-Tek Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 What a terrific way to start the week! Our thanks to you Moss. "Fear is temporary, regret is permanent!" motley. adj. varied in appearance or character. crew. n. group of people. Quote

+John Stead Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 Thank goodness for that - grateful for your decision Moss - you must be mad but we are grateful to you. Quote
+marinor Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 welcome back Moss psst, do fellow geordies get any extra clues? stay safe Bill (aka clueless) Life is just an illusion, albeit a very elaborate one. Quote
+Chris n Maria Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 By the way... We are not sure what is happening with other mods/approvers but now Moss is back there seems to be no point in us being being involved as it seems that only 3 are needed. We will duck out now - but point out that Slythering and DD are still available if there is a need. If only life had an undo button....

+Daisy&me Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 I noticed this afternnon that in the list of who's logged in to the fora Richard & Beth were in bold type which presumably means they are still moderators too. The trouble with the world today is that everyone makes sweeping generalisations. Quote

I hope they are! but.... back in this thread, what/who is displayed in bold was questioned. The short: the thing seems to be randomly* bolding users *Or at least no one can understand what it is using to determine who's bolded and whos not. Quote

The trouble with the world today is that everyone makes sweeping generalisations. No, I can confirm that although we are coming up in bold type, we haven't got access to any of the admin/moderation functions. From past experience the display of moderators and whether they are able to do anything are separate, for example Tim and June had access to admin functions long before the captions changed, and in the same way Monz has been listed as an admin for a long while after Moss T returned to the job.
