Can someone who knows that exactly please explain which "function" (mission) every type of Moderator from the here listed have :?:

And maybe there are even more :?:

:)

:roll:

EDIT:
Alexander (Forum Admin), Korupt (Sr.Moderator) & maxattack were so kind to explain it to me - so I supplemented the declarations.
Thank you
:!:
;)


Pretty much correct, though I'd like to add a few details.

The Moderator's description should be the case at all times :lol: however everyone is human and can be prone to human error. It may be better to say their job is simply to maintain the forums and ensure it doesn't get out of hand.

The Head are there to lead the mod's in the necessary directions and make the tougher calls when necessary.

Sr. Mod title is more in terms of mod's that are experienced. As Alex stated, they have the power to ban as well (which regular mod's do not). Most Sr. Mods have been here for a few years and are well known.

The SM moderator is only Andy :lol: He's the only one willing to deal with all you crazy SM players ;) (I'm kidding of course). Simple fact is Andy has the most knowledge in terms of the SM game mechanics, etc. He's been a Mod with us for quite some time and is easily equivalent to a Sr. Mod (if not Head Mod).

The Trainee Mod is exactly what it sounds like. They are newer player's added to the Mod team and are still in training. This is essentially our trial period for a player as a potential Mod.

The Forum Admin/Site Admin descriptions are a bit messed up. Technically, Alex is really the only "Forum Admin" but that is due to the circumstance of his position. In the past, our Community Manager has always been one of our current Site Admin's. Site Admin's are not necessarily Developer's of the game. Liran (as many of you already know) is a "Site Admin" and is a developer. Ilona on the otherhand is NOT a developer, but she is a "Site Admin". The Site Admin title is used for all admins, however, there are actually different categories within the "Site Admin" title. These are not really noticeable from a player's perspective however. All of them have the power to ban though. They are the top of the forums as well as admin the BD side of the game (we have ingame admins on each world). Not all Site Admin's are BD admin's however. For instance, Alex is our new Community Manager but not a dev or BD admin.

The other 3 descriptions are just fine as they are :D

And just a general announcement for the BD Tribune team. This is a community driven team that is currently being lead by me. The point has always been to have a team that brings entertainment as well as information to our community. That community has recently been expanding exponentially on the SM side of the game, especially on the forums. So we are looking to change the BD Tribune to something that incorporates both the BD and SM side of things. In the near future, I would expect lots of change in the News Team.

:lol: I guess to an SM player that would be gibberish. We usually categorize the worlds by a letter and number to represent which one we are talking about. So the letters are:
G = Galaxy
E = Earth
M = Mars
F = Fantasy

The corresponding number next to the letters are for which world. We have multiple for each world type and determine the tick speed.

So G1 would be Galaxy world 1.

And if we want to get even more confusing, we also often add in A and a number to determine what "Age" so a player can find another's "stats" for a specific world and era (we don't use E because we use it for Earth already, so we use A for Age).

So if you see someone speaking gibberish with something like "Hey, check out my stats from E1A20" that would be them referring to Earth world 1, era 20 in the BD Hall of Fame located in game (the forums Hall of Fame is tracking the older eras before we implemented an ingame system).
