Administrator or Other?

I have a suggestion. Is it not possible to have administrator's name's in a different format or colour so they can be distinguised from other poster's? It would help ordinary folk like me to decide if replies to questions / posts are given by the right (sensible) people. Sorry to all legitimate poster's out there - but there are some crackpots who mislead us by posting rude, cheeky and / or inaccurate replies to sensible questions.

See what I mean - who is Ismail? are you an administrator or some junky trying to make me feel someone is listening to me??

lol - no offence Ismail but it proves my point. I don't know any of the administrator's or moderator's names and without hunting SOMEWHERE on this site for a list of them, it would be nice if there was some way of distinguishing them from the rest of us, don't you think?

I think the idea of a simple 3 letter tag/title in the beginning of their names would solve a lot of problems.

Moderator Sunny
or
Mod Sunny
Mod Sluvious
Mod Sean Allen
Mod Ann Marie
Mod Ken
etc..

2 accounts like Bob

Bob Shank (mild mannered poet with glasses)
Mod Sluvious (the super moderator with tights)

Sunny (the super duper tree hugger)
Mod Sunninator (beware all plagiarizers, grrrr)

:)

Hmm.. didn't think of the tools. Yup that would take a lot of time. Not the transfer of tools.. but the administrator actually appearing. They seem to be very busy. :(

Did I just open a can of worms?

In anycase:

It should be noted now, that any member adding a tag in the beginning of their name to confuse others into thinking they are moderators/administrators or anything equal is considered a violation and will be banned.

As for this, I agree that the link to the Mods and Admins is fine for now but, if there is confussion in the forums, I am sure we as Mods can have a different font or color, perhaps Red like in the chat.

Just an idea, if a lot of people like that Idea, I will do some code, and pass it on to Janis, I am not saying it will be implemented but, if enough people agree, it might happen.

Peace, Joe

I'm not into the colour idea....I think there should be a lightening graphic blasting from our names...smiting everything around it.

That would represent us nicely I feel.

But, in reality, another colour would be ok....say Red to force you all to recall your school days of being corrected.

Either one is totalitarian enough for me.

long live the leviathan!!

Actually I have a better Idea than the Red Font Color.

All the Moderators should have an Aviator that says, "Mod" with of course as Kevin said a "lightening graphic" or something to the sort. And Janis and Dainz should have one that says, " Admin"

Just another idea to throw around.

Peace, Joe

^^ who the heck is that with no link?

It's a fine post, but I don't think it should be allowed.

Joe: Aviator? hehehe.. I think you meant Avatar.. LOL

So then, if we DO have two separate accounts one for Modding and one for Writing...will we then be allowed to "spout our opinions" while logged on to our writing account as was requested that mods NOT be allowed to do??

The person with no link....

and yes I meant Avatar...Lol

I don't like having two accounts, that would be to confusing I think, all we need it the Font Color to be changed for the Mods in the Forums, and all the Mods should have an avatar that says, "Mod" with some special bold or shadow effect.

Peace, Joe

Just so I don't look like an idiot (No Comments from the peanut Gallery), there WAS a post above mine that had no name or link. What's funny is that I should have known to "View Source" to see who it was.. duhhh! Thanks Joe!!

I also would prefer to have only one account -with differnt font color or something to show that we are different.
