NERV Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 look by my avatar, says im a moderator, ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kofod Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Well its just one of the "positions" you can have - 250 posts Just like I will be senior in some posts time. Last couple of days might have shown why these seniority labels should be taken as (very) rough guidelines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahCulture Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Moderator doesn't mean Admin power. Just a rank by posts, like Kofod said. I think someone else asked about this a few weeks back..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERV Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 well usually a moderator doesnt have admin power but they help the admin control the forums, but on this forum its just a label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahCulture Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 How many posts does one need before reaching the rank of moderator? Not that I'm gonna pull a Hookah-Lookah or anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERV Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 actually i just checked my private message box for the first time, adrock gave me and mr. bubble moderator status, but i guess theres an error because it doesnt seem to have any effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Scratch Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 If it is just a title and not an actual duty, maybe there ought to be a different title that is less misleading. Personally, I kinda like "Sultan". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well actually vizier is a French term, so maybe convert higher ranks to more accurate terms....[/quote] Actually, Vizier would be below Sultan (original source via the French: the Turkish title "Vezir" coming from the Arabic "Wazir" or bearer - meaning a high officer or advisor of a Sultan). Too lowly a title for one so magnificent as a forum Admin. IMO, the proper term for the admin would be no less than, say, "the Exhalted Caliph!" Actually, I think this title idea would be kinda fun, and bring a taste of culture/atmosphere to the board. Whaddya think, O' Divine Caliph of the Hookah Forum?

tuma al Zrai Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 How about this-from highest to lowest; Exhalted Caliph-defender of Hookah, Grand Sultan-sultan of shisha, Emir- of the emerald Argileh , Pasha-majestrate of mu'ussel, Bey- low lord of the hose. Kinda cool, eh? Or just corny? Anyway, just a thought. You gotta admit, the Turks did know their imperial pomp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I have made changed the titles of the different levels. Also, when a user gets to 500 posts that user automatically becomes a moderator of the forum. A moderator can edit and delete posts, warn users of offensive conduct etc. The title of moderator a non-salary position. adrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuma al Zrai Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Shukran, shukran kifr. PS- your bottom line is from "A New Deal" by Gibran Kahlil Gibran, just thought you'd like to know.
