It looks like she's listed as a modadmin now, but I think that's recent, and I don't recall any announcement.  Did she sneakily promote herself when she upgraded the forum?  Tongue

Well, there were some other moderation changes, but Dave hasn't made them yet, so no announcement.

The situation was that muon2 asked me if I wanted to be a 3rd Modadmin (because Nym has disappeared even if he may login from time to time - it's been like this for a while now actually), and I said sure and so he sent some requests to Dave like a week ago. However when Dave installed my addon, I asked him to temporarily elevate me to Modadmin (before muon2's request) because I needed to test new features only Modadmins can use, and I didn't want to bug Dave/muon to spend an hour or two testing the features down to the last detail.

So out of curiosity, is the idea that you'd share in the banning decisions with Muon, or would you stick to something like the role that I had back in the day, where I used my modadmin powers to keep the spammer / sock attacks at bay, but left banning decisions to Nym?

I thought I might ban Nym/muon2 and all Moderators who challenge my oppressive rule while also installing puppet Moderators (that Dave approves of) to carry out my orders.

See, if you were smart, you would have used the upgrade to sneak in a feature that allows you to install your own mods at will.  That way, you wouldn't need Dave to approve anything.

I don't know which part of this question is worse.

No offense to Virginia, but the latter part by far.  Tongue

I remember when Bushie's appointment as a moderator was criticized because he was too close to Jamespol:
