A glimpse of what it means to be an admin?

[Heretic Apostate]

Last night, as I was trying to drift off to sleep, I wondered: What's it look like to be an admin (or even a mod)? Does the board look different? What are the screens like, when you guys do your duties (moving threads, merging threads, etc)?

I know I'll never be a mod (I've got the attention span of a hyperactive child on a sugar rush...), but I'm curious.

If you guys could post screenshots, even the better!

The primary screens are virutally identical except for the addition for check boxes for closing and sticking threads, and an admin options drop box mainly for moving stuff. There is a board maintanence screen. It hasn't changed much since version 2.3.3 of the program - if you want to see it go over to www.vbulletin.com

Better yet, This test board allows anyone who visits it to have admin access. So if you're really curious.

Michael's fibbing. In fact, our screens have small animated naked angels who sing paeans to us, and cherubim who play triumphal thread-browsing marches on silver trumpets. By accessing user profiles, we can find out what you ate for breakfast. And best of all, we never have any server slowdown - ever.

PC, can you check my activity log and see where I left my car keys? I can't find them anywhere.

I bet they don't wear pants either. Lucky Admins.

 

[Michael Morris]

I wouldn't know. I'm not an admin.

 

[Piratecat]

Check. No pants. The cherubim don't like them.
