Is someone going to start a new thread to guess who the invisible mods are at the GB?


I'll bite ...

Which mod from a different forum was awake and posting before and around the start time of Bluesey's thread? Too coincidental?

My guess is any of the Super Mods have the ability edit/move/delete on any forum on the board.

<nod>
I wondered if Laruel has added somebody else to the Super Mod/Sen Mod, whatever you wanna called it - access again.

Hide those IP's people. ;)

Or, maybe L & M were up really early. Haha.

There's a toilet built into her computer chair. And a minifridge.
 
Someone pointed out that it was wee hours in the morning when the edit was made, on the Bluesboy thread. Is it likely that the owner was up at that time--maybe getting ready to go to his/her regular day job? Or does the General Board have a mod that we don't know about?
 
It would have been 4:26am in California, when Bluesey started his thread. The point made by Cheyenne and others is that someone other than the administrators of Lit (Laurel and Manu in California) edited his posts. It seems logical to assume that someone has been given authority to moderate the GB.

His comments were edited out in less than a half hour from when they were posted. The original logs were not edited out as quickly. I recall, at the time there was some disagreement over whether the logs broke rules since they were logs from a site other than Lit.

It seems just as logical to assume that it could have been Laurel or Manu, as equally as you could assume that it was a secret mod.

Why is it so impossible for them to have been up at 4:30am? They're computer people. For every 9-5'er in the computer dork world, there are two who keep funky ass hours. When Laurel was posting here back in the day, it wasn't at all unusual for her to be here at weird hours.

Well, when I saw them, neither of them had a computer stuck to their face, so I think it's safe to say they're not here 24 hours a day.
 
I stand corrected ... it was in fact an incorrect assumption on my part.

I just heard from Laured and she confirmed that she was the one who edited Bluesey's post.

That makes me feel so much better now.

Maybe being closer to Sillicon Valley, they beat me to having the the direct network fiber connection to the brain installed.

Welcome back. I wouldn't necessarily call any of this "good shit" but I'm sure several others do.

Seems like you've got some ketching up to do if you dig this sorta thing. Ta Ta.

and what would it change if there was already invisible mods or not?


Well, the basis for this thread for one thing. It would already be answered as to whether the GB needed a moderator- the answer would be "yes" in the eyes of the only ones who matter. The owners.

p.s. Cherry says above that Laurel told her she did it, so maybe the thread is still valid after all.

I'm just going by what the lady said. You calling Laurel a liar?

Nope, I've taken care of the annoying users too.

It's just you, me and LadyG left on my board. It's great! ;)

:rose: And what a laid back board it is ;)
 
It warms my heart to know that Laurel got up in the middle of the night just to edit my post.

You must feel very special right now.

Actually it is wearing off. I felt more special yesterday.
But maybe I can recreate it. I could always post the logs again.:D

It's more likely the board is set up so that an alarm goes off every time you hit "Submit."
 
Okay... I've been away from the box since Saturday AM.

I voted " Use the Iggie" - so what did the Geetarman say that got zapped? :(
