How to contact a moderator

EricNoah · 6th June 2004, 04:38 PM

If you see something weird going on or have questions about rules and so forth, you may always feel free to e-mail a moderator. Here's a handy-dandy list of moderators and their e-mail addresses -- pick your favorite, collect 'em all!

(Also note this page for contact details for other EN World areas/issues).

Admins (can change user names, enable community supporter accounts, wield the +12 banhammer, and make really realistic monkey noises):

Morrus: russmorrissey at gmail dot com
Piratecat: kevin dot kulp at gmail dot com
Henry: henrythelesser@yahoo.com
Plane Sailing: axnx40 at dsl dot pipex dot com

Moderators (can close, move or open threads, delete extraneous posts, settle disagreements, and juggle chainsaws):

Darkness: oni_no_baka at yahoo dot com
Eridanis: eridanis@gmail.com (AIM: eridanis42 (though I'm hardly ever on))
Hypersmurf: hyper@monstar.co.nz
Dinkeldog: dinkeldog2006 at yahoo dot com (Also Dinkeldog for AOL IM)
nemmerle: aquerra@hotmail.com
Pielorinho: danielwithrow@earthlink.net
Rel: asmoore@earthlink.net
Umbran: arnis_public@comcast.net
Xath: gertiebarden at gmail dot com
Kid Charlemagne: robert.b.moore at comcast.net

Remember, not everyone is always at their computer. If you try someone and don't get a quick response, feel free to try someone else! And if you need to report a thread, there's a special button next to each forum post for that very purpose.

This is just a suggestion, but I think it'd be a good idea to rearrange the list slightly. In my experience people will, given multiple choices who to contact, e-mail the one on the top of the list. And I am sure Morrus has much to do already. :-)

**Piratecat** · 7th June 2004, 03:53 AM

I haven't rearranged the list, but I defined responsibilities somewhat.

Mwah-ha-ha... my list of spam targets... errr... I mean "recipients for free products from E.N.Publishing" (yeah... that's the ticket) has been helped by your foolish post, Mr Noah.

My spam filter normally kills those... In any case - no thanks.

Gez does bring up a good point. It might be a good idea to add a few extra characters to those email addresses so that spam bots can't pick them up. It's not my email address up there, so it doesn't make a huge difference to me, but if it WAS me, I'd insist upon it.

BSF · 13th October 2004, 09:17 PM

I thought Michael Morris once pointed out that VBulletin has features to obfusctate email addresses for SPAM harvesters. Am I remembering incorrectly?

Deset Gled · 14th October 2004, 01:58 AM

You're probably right. That does sound like a very nice feature to have. And now that I think about it, it doesn't make much sense that EN would do something like he did if such a feature wasn't in place.

**Dinkeldog** · 14th October 2004, 04:03 AM

Like the amount of spam I get would noticeably change from even thousands of spambots hitting this site.

Crothian · 14th October 2004, 04:22 AM

my e-mail is posted and I only get at most a dozen spam e-mails a day, its really not that bad.

Same here, my email is listed in full in other areas of the sight, but I get about 12 a day... So a simple highlight in delete or if I have some cheese and bread I have a nice spam sandwich....

Hmmmmmm spam....

**Piratecat** · 14th October 2004, 03:47 PM

Even with no personal spam filters, I get virtually no spam.

Imagine that! I used to, but a few months of deleting the messages unopened and they've completely disappeared. I don't miss them one bit.

**Morrus** · 30th November 2004, 02:17 AM

I have a great spam filter. I see no spam at all, and when I occasionally check the jink mail folder to make sure, I see that it is not blocking any real emails by mistake, either. Pretty much 100% accuracy!

Someone asked a very good question today: Does the 1000-post limit still appy now that the new EN World 2 is up and running? And, if the limit still applies, is just "forking" to a new thread an acceptable way to handle the situation?

Inquiring minds and all that....

Boy, I hope this is the correct thread for asking that question!

For now, yes. That was a database speed issue, not a forum software issue.

Once we've gotten everything else fixed, we'll worry about that.

Since forking is an easy solution, shouldn't be a big issue.
