Nah, I made you a Valued Member instead. You get an extra star.

I don't know why LJS is an admin. He's generally a good member, true, but there's Tiel, Fr0st, and myself who also have access to the ACP.

Oh, and I have one opinion on this whole thread:

I don't have access to the ACP anymore. Otherwise I'd have fixed this mess as soon as it occurred.

I don't know if you're joking here, but what Jedi was trying to do was assign hyperlite a rank of admin, that is, the bells and whistles, but not actual powers, in the spirit of April Fool's Day for the thread joykler deleted. Permissions and administrative powers are determined by group, not rank; all those people have is a line of text saying they're site admins. Sorta like walking into town claiming you're the president.

As far as power distribution goes, we have 2 mods and 3 people with access to the ACP out of 137 members.

Yeah. To be clear, I have not given anyone any new powers, not even briefly. They had a line under their avatars that said 'Site Admin', but that's all. I failed to make hyperlite look like an admin (I think I know how to do it now, but I'm not gonna risk it after last time), so I made him a Valued Member instead, because apparently that rank comes pre-set or something and we just aren't using it. It means absolutely nothing and grants him no powers or anything. We have exactly the same number of people with ranks as we did before.

I don't know either. I made a thread about it a few weeks ago. The general consensus was that no-one could be bothered to object.

You develop an algorithm for counting users based on activity and I'll be all ears. As it stands there are 137 users registered with 137 unique email accounts.

Count active members in the past ... even month: 37 members. There are 10 people with active moderation powers currently. Cmon be real we don't have 137 members, its obvious.

Are you saying I'm not a member of this community just because I don't post that often?

I counted you, you have active posts and posted within a month. See if you do not post you are indeed a passive member, if you are a passive member there is no need to moderate you because you simply don't post content. If you post content then you are an active forum member. I assume that even if you don't post often you did at least one activity within a month.

This is fine. 40 real members isn't bad for a mod that has no content.
