Put those hands together (or to the keyboard) and give a warm welcome to our newest addition to the mod team, @Brickwizard.

But, once you get used to the 'XenForo way', it's not too terrible. The ACP is easily searched, even if some of the names are a bit cryptic.

@KGIII :-

We all had access to the MCP right from the word go; Erik had made all of us "globals" - I think 'Super Mod' is the XenForo equivalent? I noticed @Brickwizard was 'briefly' listed as 'just' a mod for a few hours - right from the start.

When all this crap with the AI scraper bots started to really kick in last year, we were also granted access to the ACP as well.....because one thing it allows is bulk deletion of members and/or posts/threads. The MCP doesn't permit that, but with the sheer amount of posts that were getting through - we had a spell of determined spammers get in on the act around the same time! - it only made sense. Erik's only one guy, and has to sleep at some point.....so we were able to 'cover' between us.

As you say, 'ordinary' members do NOT get to see HOW the sausage is made!


Mike.

Thank you folks, I will do my best [with the assistance of the team] to keep the site safe clean and welcoming to those interested in Linux

and to all those active members who give their time to help new members, Kudos

Congrats! @Brickwizard
Now you can deal with bad guys directly instead of just reporting them.

Yup.

I noticed @Brickwizard was 'briefly' listed as 'just' a mod for a few hours - right from the start.

Also, yup. We don't make a bunch of mods, so a step was skipped.

It was eventually sorted. I pushed the multiple buttons required to make @f33dm3bits a mod. If need be, I now know how to do that operation. Also, mods here can delete threads -- depending on how they're configured.
