Ex-Moderator Ranks

[I_DONT_BOT]

Those are past positions, they don't exist anymore.

They occasionally get someone to moderate them, I'm pretty sure that gaming moderator and personal support have both been handed out in the past year and a bit. Noam was the last gaming and gohan the last personal support amirite?

The positions still exist they just aren't in use at the moment

Last personal support promo was Gohan in ~2010. Gaming moderator was a new position for the section rework, though that turned out to be a disaster in the end. Either way Noam was demoted and so was FlyingToast, the section is far too inactive anyway.

And personal support seems pointless now as there is already a Support centre mod. I think it was Finn's idea to have a mod for solely that section.

I think it looks quite nice but that's me.

If you don't know what to put in yet to make it not look awful, then don't change it until you do. It's not like it's an urgent issue.

The people demanding I change them in previous suggestion threads would disagree with you.

Our only solution was to add an independent item to the middle, and the "flower" is what was chosen to be the best.

I'd like to point out you're correct except that it's not a flower. It's an asterisk indicating the multitude of sectional positions. An asterisk in some programming and regular expression tends to represent "any" value.

Why not gray out a bunch of mod ranks and let the ex-mod choose which one best fits? I'd be a rubber chicken for example.

I'm confused here. What's the issue using a greyed out version of whatever section the moderator was a part of? If their rank is 1. Greyed out, and 2. Says "Retired", people would realize they're no longer a moderator. Isn't the point of the ranks to show they use to be a sectional? It only makes sense to use whatever section symbol they moderated as their retired rank.

We'd have to have a retired whatever rank for every type of sectional which, including present and past sections, is quite a lot of ranks. We've decided against doing this in favor of a generic rank because sectionals tend to come and go a lot and it's easier to manage.

Are we really arguing about ex-mod ranks? Does it really matter? They hardly look any different. Using multiple ranks for ex-sectionals makes no sense since most of them have been in multiple sections.

My thoughts exactly.


You know, the changes we made were the DIRECT result of a suggestion thread like this. I tried ignoring the thread but so many people PMed it to me and bugged me about it that I made the changes. Now I've made the changes, which were supported by members AND staff, and you guys want something else? I certainly don't have anything better to do than change rank images.

A fix on the original rank was made from its shape and on its awkward off-red color to the nice gray color, which was what I wanted. The thread's mostly just been discussion for a while.

Closed, seems everyone's used to it now.
