I asked for volunteers, I heard from a few of you, and through the highly selective process of approving everyone who included their username (Sorry Ed), I have chosen your new moderators, which I think amount to about half of you.
They will be able to do five things for you:
- Approve your submissions.
- Delete your submissions.
- Approve any pending comments. (I have no idea what makes ID decide to throw some comments in to moderation…)
- Delete any offensive/spammy comments.
- Fix your headlines.
In return for their slavish devotion to the cause, moderators will get the following perks:
- Their names will have a blue background in the comments.
- Their submissions should automatically post, regardless of IP. If not, they can self approve their own stuff.
So without any further ado, in reverse chronological order, I give you your Oligarchy of Power:
- Close Read
- C_R_Eature
- zippy_w_pinhead
- snowpointsecret
- Shelwood
(Mods: I sent you all a welcome email, with really lame instructions. You should also get an email with your PW to Wonkville. If you don’t get one or both of those, holler.)
[ whew ! that was close ]
Ed, I presume?
Blue might be a good addition to the overlord party- the blue background would be fitting
I'm good, thanks.
don't bitch about missing out on the free drinks and hors d'oeuvres (well liquor only- cheap bastards won't spring for the good stuff)
Oh, also: I did manage to get a dump of the old posts, but it is super raw. It might be a while, but some massaging of the data should get it to import to WP, and then I can hook the old ID comments up to the posts.
Cool, apparently I can moderate myself. Someone pass the Kleenex, this is gonna get messy…
how come you're still green?
Look again…

must have needed a refresh- you're blue now
(today we are all blue- except blue)
Elitist plot to keep the blue man down!

Also too
Sniffed the UK fridge?
There is a submission in the hopper, if one of you would like to cut your teeth…
are the submissions in a different place than comment moderation? I'm seeing nuttin
Yes. You hit the All Posts link, and you get a list, Pending ones should have " – Pending", looks like I need to fix something…
I see it now. He posts all the time, can we just go ahead and approve it?
It looks like Shel got it.
Sorry. But his next two will pend, too, so someone else can play with those (click on Edit, then Publish, then Update). I just didn't want him to feel unloved
not seeing the 'all posts' link- checked in IE to make sure none of my web cleaner upper extensions was blocking it
I don't think so. You will step on each other's toes, as WP doesn;t inform you who else is logged in or doing things, but I still see: Karma train hits Trump – Pending
If you don't I might need to play with the permissions.
I'm only seeing comment moderation
Just updated your settings. You might need to log out and back in, but should be able to see them now.
Got it. One Who Wanders is a semi-reg.
OMG, now I'm blue! Looks like I'll need a new avatar, then.

that would explain why I can't see half the hyperlinks

Check back in the bin for Vodka oh wise ones………
Vodka would like to be approved. I'm never around, but the WV crew are my favorite people on the planet when I finally have time to fuck around on the internet.

I'll make sure he gets approved, and tell him to email ShyPixel if he wants to be blue.
They are approved. I got them this morning.
Oh sheesh, here we go.
We have an extra level of snark.
Congratulations to the selfless anointed ones.
/ scurries off to try to come up with some totally tasteless joke the involves Cleveland, San Francisco, assorted bits of the SW, and a say some cephalopods in a blanket.

My comments are bluer than the water flooding my town 8D
Soooo, everyone is a mod (except Blue).? Should be fascinating.
