OK - I have to say NOOOO to the italicized part of this:
Quote:I'm tending toward the idea of renaming Global Moderator to Admin Assistant. Then the new moderator position can be Global Moderator or Forum Moderator.
Talk about a way to have support issue confusion.
Let us just agree that Global Moderator may be a bit misleading -
BUT -
A. Its a going part of YaBB's culture, functionality and code - and has been since 2.x (apparently). I never ran a 1.x forum so I can't speak to that.
B. Talk about headaches for upgrades/going forums.
C. ALL the changes needed.
D. How to handle the politics of existing GM's being made into Admin Assistants?
---------------------------------------------------
We only need a name for the 'new' position - it should be unique.
For what it is worth, there's another Candidate - what it is in 3.0:
"YaBB Moderator"
Its a position (comes from an Admin Edit), works like what is developed for 2.5.4., it simply was not finished (And that is why it is not in use here - I tested it and found it was not complete).
I suggest we choose between "YaBB Moderator" and "Forum Moderator"
BTW - my Admin Assistant comment was a JOKE although clearly not a very good one.
