chetankjain: Short forms like 'u'? ;-)
-
[quote author="chetankjain" date="1283931962"]one basic question, what if as a moderator you see someone using foul language or short forms like wtf .. do u edit or just leave it considering the context? very subjective right? :) [/quote]
That's a tricky one. I'd say: it depends. The post shouldn't be offending to anyone or plain vulgar. But lines blur and what might be okay for one could be way off for someone else. Let's see how far we get with common sense.
If all fails there is still the "report" option.

@alexandra makes sense :)

Thanks Tobias :) .. but 10K is a long way to go and then one has to sustain through 6 months points expiry too ... won't be easy

[quote author="MariusG" date="1283980968"]... the Mad Scientist badge in pure awesomeness :)
Don’t tell anyone… but sometimes, at night, when no one is watching, for just a few minutes, wearing my 4DOS geek t-shirt, I grant myself 11k points on the test server (only for testing purposes of course), so I can surf around wearing the Mad Scientist badge, making sure it displays correctly in every thinkable context, like in the mirror. It’s just that cool.
Now, where did I put my medicine again? ;)[/quote]
now isn't that temptation enough :P by the end of all this few of us will be on medication here I guess heh heh ...

Not able to edit "this particular thread":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/1072/, rest seem ok .. other moderators are you able to see the edit/move/delete links?
-
Could a moderator please get the right to move threads to his forum and not just the ability to move threads from the own forum into others? E.g. I am moderating the Tools forum and just today ran into some threads that I do consider to belong there... unfortunately I can not do anything about that.
Of course you could just allow me to moderate the entire forum (I am a Gene Splicer after all) to solve the issue for me without resorting to coding;-)

[quote author="MariusG" date="1285763682"][quote author="chetankjain" date="1285762595"]Ah didn't see the new forum. But gene splicers by definition should inherit moderation rights across the forum?[/quote]
Yes, but the assigning is by human, not automated. It will get there.[/quote]
ok ok ... i thought the moderators belong to some internal group and get these rights (seen such things in other forum s/w) and again no rush :)

Tobias, if any specific thread, just let me know ... I can move it for you. -
I am popular today, everybody's asking for me!
I did two things:
- Tobias is promoted to moderator of all forums. Congrats. :)
- Chetan got the moderation rights for the Certification forum as well. I had forgotten that earlier...
In addition to that we now have our own IRC channel on freenode. Hop over to #qt-devnet-moderators if you want to.
