Congratz on becoming an administrator!

So, any story behind becoming an administrator? Is theymos transferring ownership to you? Or any reason for the change?

Fucking hell. This was 10+ days ago? Jesus.. I've been away from the forums for too long. I ctrl+f'd the front page of meta for "admin" and didn't see anything. Anyway, I guess my questions were answered in the other thread so I'll just lock it >.<

Congratz on becoming an administrator!

So, any story behind becoming an administrator?

*Hazy visuals indicating a flashback* There was once a young bear who spent his days cleaning up shit the other animals left in the woods...*fade to black*

Is theymos transferring ownership to you?

Nah, I'm not taking his place.   

Or any reason for the change?

I was already doing a lot of admin duties, this just streamlines it and makes it easier and more efficient for the both of us. Stuff like temp bans, ban appeals (emails still go theymos but I can handle the ones posted/pm'ed), etc.

Congrats, BadBear! Couldn't tell this earlier as I was afraid to start a thread. . So can you handle everything like banning users?

Kindly,

Did you totally abuse your powers to unlock my thread just to respond to me? Meh, makes me feel special. I'll allow it.

BadBear has been banning users long ago since he was a global mod (I believe he is always the major mod doing the dirty job lol)

Wow congrats, how does it feel to be the 2nd highest in position (theymos is still owner right?) in the largest by far bitcoin forums in the world. In the future, you will be known as the 2nd in command at bitcointalk, the forum that got bitcoin started

What about Stefan Thomas?
He is still an admin, though he is not very active...

Not all mods. Patrollers probably can't (since I can't).

Dedicated mods. (e.g. Turkish board for me)

I could get picky and say 'patrollers' != 'mods' . I stand corrected, thanks.

Well, we do moderate (delete, move, nuke newbies), so I guess it counts, right?

Does posting automatically unlock the thread though? Or does it just append to the thread and the thread remains locked?

Either way, it was a joke

I was just trying to cut down on any sort of spam generated by "CONGRATZ BADBEAR" posts, but I guess badbear just likes being the center of attention.

(It's okay badbear, I'm mostly joking [don't ban me, kthxbai]).

Congratulations badbear for selling your soul to the forum!

all fear of badbear now =]

This, it just adds the post, I didn't unlock it. I do remember seeing some red text when I posted but I could've sworn it was "There's a new reply" warning, not "This topic has been locked and only mods can reply" warning.

Fake edit:  Checked the logs, apparently I did unlock it. Silly bear. I check the forums often from mobile devices in the field, and locking/unlocking has no confirmation box like most actions, it just happens, so it's possible. Maybe I need to lay off the whiskey.

I'm pretty insignificant in the big picture, I'm just a janitor who cleans up, and helps keep the forums readable and usable for everyone. There are many here who deserve recognition, or deserve to be known more than me.

For some reason, I always thought you as a panda:


Oh, look, this is what happens at a meeting with moar bears:

And your reaction after getting admin:

[BitcoinEXpress]

So many asskissers. badbear is a terrible lazy useless mod and he'll make a even worse admin.

Why would theymos make him admin?

Yep this bull shit statement is based on a lot of credibility coming from 7 post newbie sock puppet. Too afraid to post under your own account? BTW, as admin there's a tad more ability to figure out who you are LOL.


I said it 10+ days ago, congrats and say it again.

This is good for the forum.
