Welcome aboard the Staff wagon - Maxedge

Well, I was thinking of this earlier in the evening, about the occasional spambots hitting around the forums, and me and Petey (the only active staff) not being around at the moment. I might get busy now on for a while and not attend to the forums. Maxedge has been a good friend since the past almost a year maybe, since we've met before the DPForums re-launch. I affectionately granted him the DP Joker rank earlier today, due to his humour and entertaining nature around the forums. That was why the rank image was a Mr. Mime and not a Joker from Batman or some stupid clown. He unfortunately took it in a wrong manner or probably didn't like it. I read this comment on a thread and thought he needed a better rank, and maybe he could just get on the team to assist us, since he was all "WANT TO BE SOMETHING OF HELP KIND!!".

So, congrats! You're the official DPForums Spambot Assassinator! While you're not really a Moderator, nor an Admin, but you do have powers of both partly, since you now have access to the Mod Control Panel (related to frontend posts/users banning) and the Administrator CP (related to the backend), with rights to those powers only that you need to assassinate bots and keep it clean around.

Your actual job and process to exterminate the bots shall be explained later today in the Staff forum.

I will do my best to keep forums good and running...... And sorry for all that mess about Joker but I really hate jokers....
Don't ask why!!

It's ok we all have our dislikes and phobias.

Maxedge · **Posted:** December 2nd, 2009, 11:24 am

Yeah but I am a bit more childish than others

BTW

Yes I know that, I'll permit you later when I post about the task. Glad to see you noticed that, lol. Was actually waiting for it

Congratulations Maxedge. You really deserved it.

btw. I am having a sickning feeling I am gonna be banned. :wink:

adyniz · **Posted:** December 2nd, 2009, 1:59 pm

No, you won't be banned (I think !).

Prongs · **Posted:** December 2nd, 2009, 2:23 pm

No, if I would have got banning rights, I would have first attempted to ban an administrator.
btw Nish, can a mod do so?

You just got yourself off the track to a wannabe staff member

congratulations!

I don't think I wanted to be a Staff member untill 1000 posts at least.
Hey wait a sec...
I am a wannabe staff member?

Maxedge · **Posted:** December 3rd, 2009, 12:49 pm

Hey wait a sec NiSh

I got locking powers too? o.O
I thought I can only delete topics and ban users
I tried MCP and ACP but there's no locking option.......
Moreover... If u say drop down list (Quick Mod tools) then it has only Delete topic and View log..

adyniz · **Posted:** December 3rd, 2009, 12:57 pm

Wow, max you are lucky that you are a stuff member :mrgreen:

Prongs · **Posted:** December 3rd, 2009, 3:14 pm

Don't worry adyniz, being a staff member isn't all that luck. Although I will not mind access to ACP and MCP, 'staff' word is related to responsibility. And I don't think we are up to that at the moment.

Sorry then, locking isn't a part of spambot assassination so you didn't get it. Well.. would you like to go one master ball step further to a full mod?
