Not sure if someone else posted it:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats

You can see all the stats of the whole forum. Hope you like it:)

not added...

the feature is not hidden.

everybody can find it in homepage, at the bottom left of the page...

thanks anyway

Hope you can remove patrol too. It isn't a hidden page.

I hope you can remove those 3 links too:
Number of users disabled ad

They're documented on here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104275.0

I didn't came here for a war with you. If it isn't hidden like you say, none of the thread in OP is hidden. All can be seen in one way or another. Anyway, if these links aren't hidden, OP is free to remove it. However, you know well why Patrol page doesn't fit in OP.

@OP: Replace "Muhammed Zakir" with "cakir" if that solves this problem. I don't need my name there. If I do, my names will still be in other threads. Fame is a stupid thing which can drive a human crazy.*

P.S. * In general.

Good catch. I think Donator board is also hidden. Do you know link to it?

I'm gonna prove you're wrong
As a normal member I don't know where's that section and I really want to know what's spoken on there...

Proof from Badbear:

There's a subforum that is only visible to donators.

edit: that section's link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=68.0

[EFS]

I don't know what you are planning to do with board numbers but I think it's safe to say, nothing fancy there:

Donators
Staff Forum
Trashcan (Real trashcan, not altcoin section)

You can only access them if you are a staff (that would give you access to all of them) or donator (for the donator subsection).

First of all , this is great share , i didn't knew half of these links.
I find modlog interesting.
https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php

I got a query , i see "Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #509593"
What does Nuke means here? Banned ?

"Nuke" is something staff (esp. lower ranks) can do to newbies. It silently removes all their posts and bans the account. Its typically used to fight spambots.

That sounds really awesome , i have seen many newbie's making useless posts , so they must be spambots. How does a mod get's to know about it? Will it be good if i report them ?
Just one more question, You said staff (esp. lower ranks) , as i know there are two types of staff #1 Administrator and #2 Global moderator , so except Badbear and Theymos , everyone else is lower ranks staff or are there any more staff ranks ?

Mod knows by looking their posts. Their posts most probably will be rephrased. If you think a newbie is spambot, report it and it will be nuked.

Types of staff(according to their power/position):

 • Admin
 • Global Moderator
 • Moderator
 • Patroller

[shorena]

Spambot reports are usually responded to very fast. Sometimes the post is already gone when I wrote "spambot, requesting nuclear backup" or something (silly) along those lines.

Regarding the ranks I think Muhammed is correct, but the ranks are not consistent across sections. E.g. Mitchell is ranked moderator in the section he is moderating (dutch local) but ranked "Staff" elsewhere. Thus aside from the dutch local section he has no power, but to nuke and otherwise act against newbies. Everything else has to be reported.

I wouldn't say that patrollers have no power, but yeah, I can't do a lot outside my board.

Mind telling us what exactly you can do?

[Mitchell]

Mind telling us what exactly you can do?

As patroller or as (local board) moderator?

Outside of your local board or (more general) assigned section. I imagine within your local board you have full mod rights and thus can do pretty much everything directly besides issuing a ban.

[SaltySpitoon]

Heh, you could add founder to the list of staff ranks. I have no idea what powers Satoshi's account has, I'd say probably adminstrator priviledges, but I'd imagine that has been changed years ago, since administrator accounts aren't left unattended for long. So I suppose it would be more apt to say Satoshi would have admin powers if they come back.

Admins: can do everything imaginable on the site. They however can't delete their accounts.

Global Moderators: can perma ban, nuke newbies, see and handle reports from all sections, and see reported PMs.

Moderators: can see and handle reports from their sections and nuke newbies

Patrollers: Are essentially Moderators but can only do moderator tasks for newbie members.

None of the links in OP is hidden with that logic. The only hidden page to normal members is Staff Forum.

And the Donator/VIP section and Trashcan.

If you are a local board moderator, you can't do anything outside your board. So, I would be a normal user outside the Dutch subsection.

[shorena]

@SaltySpitoon thanks for the nice list, thats probably something mprep could add to the FAQ.

@Mitchełł yeah thats what I meant when I wrote "no power, besides...". I guess I should have gone to bed earlier

Thank you
I have never heard of Patroller before

So that means , Moderators are patrollers outside of their Section?
Or is it something else , can i get a profile link to a patroller ?

There is no "Patroller" name, only staff. If a moderator is outside the section he/she is moderating, their position will be "Staff". Mitchell is a patroller outside Dutch board. hilariousandco was a patroller and was promoted.
