  1. Our administration is an acquired taste. You hate them until you get to know them a while, and then you love them.

    1. @redenchilada Same with our moderation team. Only it's "You find them interestingly witty at first, but then you get to know redenchilada and you find an exception"

      1. @redenchilada Aren't you like...the only mod?

        1. @ceruleanspark There's Scribus too.

        2. @ceruleanspark Does cabal still participate here? AT ALL?

          1. @purplephish20 He posts now and then.

          2. @purplephish20 He sent me a sarcastic remark about the new episode earlier today! Made me smile actually.

          1. @redenchilada I could actually get the lsit just by doing "Select Moderators from user_roles" but I can't be bothered.

            1. @ceruleanspark I'm curious how many inactive mods are around from all those times cabal threw them out like candy. (Unless those have been cleaned up or something.)

              1. @redenchilada I think Dragon and Colfax dumped all the inactive mods, and several inactive administrators.

                1. @ceruleanspark Aww. Any clue how many there were?

                  Monday, 02-Apr-12 12:02:22 UTC from web
                  1. @redenchilada There were 10+ admins and celestia knows how many mods.

                    1. @ceruleanspark And it is for this reason that I would totally trust cabal to run a site. (Now I'm curious when he threw around admin priveleges.)

                      1. @redenchilada It's kind of confusing. The tier me, him, Dragon, Colfax, Tinker and Elind are is "Owner", which is the tier that grants the right to create and demote other people. Admins are just able to do things like change the site logo and notice.

    2. How do mods get chosen in the first place?

      Monday, 02-Apr-12 11:55:29 UTC from web
      1. @pony How is mod formed.

        Monday, 02-Apr-12 11:55:59 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
        1. @ceruleanspark my hypothesis: two *squee*storms collide and magically a newborn mod appears sitting in the mud puddle left behind.

          1. @pony This fits with established canon.

            1. @ceruleanspark :D
