Now - about that moderator...

Continuing the discussion from Now - about that dodgy Dihydrogen Monoxide...:
Look, an insane mod has moved another of my posts into the wrong thread! Yay!
Admin, thanks. Oh, and drunk, not insane. Quite surprised we've only had one complaint about it actually...
No - that's not an invitation for spurious flags.
It was probably personal.
Almost certainly.Amnesia has already kicked in. What were we talking about?
Everything always is. You're all horrible scheming monsters, after all. I'd call you Jefflings, but that would be going slightly too far.
Get off the fence, why don't you?!
Anyway, more seriously - for those that care - the post looked more relevant to nearby posts than (as intended) being a reply to my OP.
It got picked up in the other 65(!) posts in a 90 post thread that got Jeffed. Rather impressive given the original thread was still going on....

Wouldn't Jeffing the other way have been easier?
edit: Oh, the OP might have got in the way.

At least he just Jeff'd it all instead of yelling at us to get out of his thread.

Admin, thanks.
Can't you be both at the same time in Discourse? (and if you can, aren't you?)Oh, and drunk, not insane
Not sure how those are mutually exclusive
Rather impressive given the original thread was still going on....
Are you asking people to derail even more topics now? Not saying you shouldn't... just being curious
-
edit: Oh, the OP might have got in the way.
Er - yes! But the post complained about would probably have still been (not) moved as a result.
At least he just Jeff'd it all instead of yelling at us to get out of his thread.
That did cross my mind. Earlier. Much earlier. Then I realised you'd all gone off in your own little world of obscure American politics and were determined to continue.
As, actually, did flagging it for one of the rest of you to do the Jeffing. Certainly when I saw the derailment continuing to the point where I was still seeing it on mobile.
Then realised I could fuck it up even more when I moved to a pub where I could do it even more drunkenly on a laptop...
Hence the (eventual) reason for this thread. Which I expect to spectacularly also derail for a completely different topic.
I present...

Can't you be both at the same time in Discourse? (and if you can, aren't you?)
Yes. But you can be admin without mod. @shadowmod for example. (And, you can be mod without TL4.)
More mundanely, Alex and a few others. Admins. Mods.
Pictorially:

But the point was that you took offense to the word mod. And that picture is a to being offended by that!

I'm not Generation Snowflake (sadly, I'm in the peer group of their enabling parents.)
I didn't take offence, I was being pedantic.
Filed Under: Why is the mod shield red?Also Filed Under: We should totally get custom CSS to make it green!
That's local CSS.
DiscoBollocks has both shields the same colour (black). Imagine looking at that screen under those circumstances and figuring out:
- Mod but not admin
- Admin but not mod.
My comment on that (before we got banned) was ignored.

Wat. [Insert why would you do that meme here]

pedantic about also being an admin? Jeez, better change your complaint to "didn't call me human"
Though I can't complain about you being pedantic, so I will let you off the hook this once!DiscoBollocks has both shields the same colour (black)
Look, I was already confused that Discourse was smart enough to distinguish the two. So I chose to make fun of the color choice... now you ruined that for me. Thanks a lot!

Somehow I am very little suprised by that.
Why would anybody be admin but not mod. You are DOING_IT_WRONGtm
Filed Under: oh well...

I'm not too convinced the backend can...
We now have more than one person who can test that

Yer more than welcome. I can get Stylish to colour one or t'other sky blue pink and take another screenshot if you want.

I was going to tell him to no bother... but now I am intrigued as well...
@PJH sure, you do that
Filed Under: Asking for a friend

Actually - I know part of that should be accessible to mods. I'll flag this post and see what occurs..

I've heard of discopink, but not sky blue pink

Have you read the book?
At least he just Jeff'd it all instead of yelling at us to get out of his thread.
This time I wasn't randomly made OP of some baby thread.

Out of curiousity:
Who the hell is suspended here? @end and @sam?
And what is the difference between suspended and blocked?Filed Under: 0 topics with no response #Yay

It says "Suspended: 3" and I listed 2... so "some" would mean 1? Were the others blocked? I mean, it would make more sense... but meh.. at the end of the day, it doesn't concern me. As I said, I was just curious
Filed Under: Curiousity killed the cat or something... never understood that

Bible, or Koran? If so, the answer is yes
This time I wasn't randomly made OP of some baby thread.
I'm sure we could help there... #moderators
And some spammers.
Not checking now, but I'm certain we have very few suspended people. 2 discodevs (self-suspended) and 1 spammer (from an occasional mod.)
@boomzilla may be more bothered than I to confirm before I remember this thread tomorrow.
The few spammers we have had here get "deleted" (as in posts get hidden to most, assigned to the user 'null' and the actual accounts get sent to Coventry.)

Kind of, since it was by Neal Stephenson, and we're in this industry.
I don't remember how they finally resolved everything, considering there were:
- An insane fraternity running the place, doing everything you can possibly imagine wrong
- A large amount of toxic waste
- Some murder, over a pointless feud
- The army, with tanks
All running around for some reason by the end.
-
-
That's a bit harsh. On the spammers.
No. It really isn't.
Correct.
Before or after the conversation with the flag? (More interested in which interface you're looking at and what you see vs what I or BZ see. Yes, I'm aware of the fact we're having a mod conversation in public.)
-
I can see all three suspended users, I just wasn't sure (hence the pm bit) if you wanted me to mention the third one is that anus guy.
I can see an email column, but it's blank for all three, as well as their basic stats (last emailed, last seen, read time, et cetra), which seems a bit pointless on a suspended users screen but meh.
...oh, there's a "Show Emails" button. Ok, I can see their emails.
-
Show Emails
But... why? Why would you have a column that shows nothing?
Unless.... discodevs really intended mods to post screenshots of this particular screen and wanted that information hidden just in case?I don't even know...
-
I don't even know...
They wanted moderators to have to press a button to see the emails for Discoreasons. I'll see if I can find the topic, assuming it didn't get Jeffholed.
edit: I think the discoreason was because a moderator clicking it puts a log entry somewhere, and they wanted a moderator/staff to have their access to it logged.

But! Your own E-Mail is shown by default. Which means you need to anonymize even if you haven't clicked the button, which is inconvenient discoBS.

@themanwhosaysANUS was our first suspendee. I wouldn't call him a spammer. Just an annoying troll.
I'm not sure about the blocked people. I think that happens automatically. I don't see anywhere to make someone blocked, just an indicator that they are or aren't. Then it's possible to unblock them, though.
