The Omnimaga member groups
« on: March 02, 2013, 02:06:40 pm »
On Omnimaga, there are various member groups. First of all, of course, there are the regular ones with levels, for which extra features can open up after a while (eg the PM system, shoutbox, no longer requiring approval for archive files uploads), but there are also staff groups:

-Support staff & Anti-Riot squad: If you use "Report to Moderator", they are usually the first to arrive.

-Editors: Those people have the ability to post news on the front page. If you discover something newsworthy, feel free to PM them.

-Coders of Tomorrow: Those people are part of our programming team. They mostly work on calculator projects and help new coders.

-Administrators: Site administrators. They can moderate, but they also have access to forum files. If a member has 49000 posts, an user ID of 1 or a nickname that contains the word "Omnimaga" or its initial "O", it doesn't necessarily mean he is administrator. When you have request/concerns for administrators, please PM/e-mail Netham45, Eeems, Shmibs, Deep Thought and Qwerty.55, not me. Thank you. :P

That should clarify stuff.

Also note that I'm no longer administrator either since a while, so I can't fix Omnimaga when it's broken and any request to do so will be promptly declined in a friendly manner with a redirect to actual admins.

CoTs can still wield the banhammer though.

And if the site is completely broken, please PM Eeems or Deep Thought. Netham will be AWOL and neither Shmibs nor I will make server changes :P

Also, Netham and Tribal are the only members of the Lobster membergroup.

What's the difference between anti-riot squad and support staff?

Actually, no. Support staff have more powers than ARS and are basically CoT. They can modify arbitrary posts, move stuff around, sticky things, etc. They were really created to jump in during those times when all the admins are off doing stuff IRL, as I recall, so they have pretty broad powers. ARS is there to deal with the routine spammers / keeping topics topical. Sadly, you guys are so effective that we never get to ban people :'(

I don't remember. Actually the ARS group was meant to be temporary and only activating in case of emergency (eg nDoom invasion or incredibly high activity), but it was never used and I don't think anybody in it ever posted on the forums since it was created <_<

who was wondering about this?
If you mean my topic, it was because I started getting more and more admin-related requests via PM from forum members in the past few months, even reports about the site malfunctioning. :P

Also it helps that members use the report to moderator (or admins in case of PMs) for bad messages or spam, because the entire mod team gets notified immediately via e-mail unless they use a fake address so that stuff won't get missed.

Support staff is equivalent to a moderator. ARS is similar, but a bit more limited. Honestly 99% of the banning i do is spambots. You guys are awesome! :D

We still get spambots? :P

But yeah the thing is when there's a bad post it's usually a somewhat rare one that is not bad enough to be reported and just bad enough to earn itself negative post ratings. (I guess the member might get warned, but the only two recent bans that occured on real members were months ago when that NXT vs calcs fight occured on IRC and when that one other guy went on a mega double-post craze in the Nspire Linux thread).
