The all new: Ask a moderator about the forum & rules

[Big Dawg KS 6]

Where? I don't see it...

I see what you did there...

The new post icons are nice, but one really has to squint to see the thread they have posted in. Would it be possible to make that arrow blue or something other than green?

Why is Mr. Foxhound an undercover moderator?

For specific reasons I did request Placebo to give me acces without being displayed as a moderator when such acces was offered.

I just did not want to be added to lists like "vote for worst moderator" topics etc.

:p

Foxhound is BIS Moderation's secret weapon ;)

Oddly enough I "complained" about that to Zipper5 just yesterday :p

Right now without the icon, you can come across as a moderator-wannabe telling what to do to average users who mostly don't know who's who, and some of them might take that the wrong way.

I am not going to share the reasoning behind it since that was discussed in private and so stays private.

However, at first I was only intending to operate in the background. But I am here enough where I spot numerous issues which I can fix and I asked Placebo (or W0lle, cant remember) if i could fix them as well which was approved.

If the community opposes my actions acting as a "hidden moderator" I leave it to placebo to decide whats the best. Remove me from the group, remove my rights or leave it as it is.

I personally dont care wether people see me as a wanabee or not, I have more important things to worry about :)

How about adding the info each time you act as an admin (by posting) to make it clear in the text itself to avoid people getting confused.

Or somn similar, I gotta admit...Foxhound 1st looked like a "wannabe", then I noticed his words were in fact being final.

Not offended by you being a moderator at all, mate. Was just curious why you didn't have the sherrif's stars on either side of your name like everyone else. Just a question, and nothing more. If it's private, that's cool by me.

Nevertheless, wannabe moderators particularly annoy some users. This might serve to encourage them.

I can't think of anyone else here I'd sooner have as a mod, but it might be better if he was in uniform.

[JdB 151]

I too think it's great that Foxhound is a mod, just the idea of an undercover one doesn't seem fair to me (people commenting to one of his posts and getting told not to discuss the forum moderation in public, like it happened in the I44 thread). When a normal user points out that something is against the forum rules, it's friendly advice, when a moderator says it, it's the law, but Foxhound looks like a normal user ...

[Guest]

I will notify Placebo of your points and let him decide whats best :)

[Placebo 28]

It wasn't that he was undercover per se, more that he was helping us with some inter-community security issues, but I can see how some might think it's a bit like having a spy in your midst or something so it's now transparent :)

[Nicholas 5]

I've known for quite some time. You can View Forum Leaders at the bottom of the page, available for anyone to view.

Foxhound has been listed as an administrator for quite some time.

Smartass :p

Now like already said, it never was meant to hide something. It was clear that sooner or later someone will find out.

It's definitely good to have Fox around. Cause once he's completely familiar with everything I can retire and be lazy all day.

Must.. stop... dreaming...

The ArmA2 editing forums got moved "under" the ArmA1 forums. And can we possibly relocate the firing range forums "under" the ArmA2 editing forums?

[abs 2]

There is a post in the BF3 thread that has more than 6 images in it. There is nothing in the rules that I've seen (quoted below) about a 6 image limit, and I've only seen a pop up saying that you've passed the 6 image limit when I've used more than 6 emoticons in a post before, so I was wondering how that user posted more than 6 images, and if the rules had changed.

§6) No posting of explicit images

No posting of pictures containing porn, real killing, mutilations, wounds, carnage, and other disgusting/explicit images. This also includes links to pages that contain such images.

If you are in doubt, contact a moderator via private message before posting you won't be banned for checking out if a link is ok to post if it's a genuine request.

§14) Remove image tags when quoting a post containing an image

If you quote a post that contains an image please remove the image tag or the whole image, it helps keep the thread tidy and easier to read if the same image isn't being posted repeatedly, you need only delete one [ to stop the image from hotlinking.

§15) Do not hotlink images over 100kb (102400 bytes) in size

Do not link images over 100kb using the IMG tags to display an image in your post. If you wish to post an image larger then 100 kb feel free to post the URL instead of hotlinking.

Would it be possible to have a mod add a poll to this thread, with options as follows?:

Would you like to see women in ArmA 3?

• I would like to see female combat units for each/certain military faction(s)
  
• I would prefer only civilian female characters, but with full combat animations/capability (like male civilians)
  
• I wouldn't mind seeing civilian female characters, but don't care or don't prefer if they are combat capable
  
• I would prefer to see no female characters in ArmA 3 (downgrade from ArmA 2)
