Oh man, I loved that story, Stealth!
As an example of our powers, we can post in locked threads...(yeah, like no one knew that already...)
And actually, there ARE different levels of admins. Basically, every member has certain permission settings. Regular members can use the forum and add releases/series. One step higher is to EDIT existing series. Then there's forum mod. Then the special admin settings...The newest admins can only do the basic admin functions, while I (as a more veteran admin) have more powers.
Each power is basically a check box, but only Manick is able to change those settings
If anyone's wondering, this is Manick's original pm to me when I became an admin:
Quote
I've noticed that you've been helping out a lot around here lately, adding lots of releases and series. I just wanted to say thanks on behalf of the Baka-Updates staff!
I also wanted to know if you would be interested in joining us in a more official manner. Basically, this would give you access to the admin/series pages so that your releases wouldn't have to wait in a queue. It really wouldn't be any different from what you are doing right now, but without all the hassle!
Let me know what you think!
Manick
I initially became an admin because Manick noticed I added releases to the database consistently (from different groups, not just the few groups I worked for)
