A situation existed which was so minor It probably didnt require LDA to step in and help ... im sure their plate is full enough with more business type stuff.

Coax made an ADMIN LEVEL decision to aquire help from the 2 people he trusts most, to help him with things he's a little green on.

so in the navy kitchen you cant find the washing up liquid ... do you go running to the admiral to ask its whereabouts, so someone who knows where it is ?

Your concern about the security of the BBS are also pointless as anyone who has run a bbs before knows that private info isnt available to moderators or admin but to the board owner only. The info is storred on LDA's computer where nobody but STAFF have access.

As a moderator coax will no doubt see ip's bottom right of each post and have a few tools such as move thread, close thread and delete thread, but little else.

there is nothing that you, kong or anyone else should be concerned about. Kevlar, Coax & Super are pillars of TM society, we put our trust in them every day to be right in postal response, overseeing thread abuse, language and in-game issues. Unless of course you are saying thay are not trustworthy enough to help a board admin ???

Board admin isnt a big deal at all - their job is to make sure the board runs smoothly, not to sell your private info to readers digest and story threads to news of america. So I ask you to cut some slack, these guys are looking after your best interests. At DMF each clan leader has admin/moderator access, this is done for fairness and so that nobody can say theres dictaion. Nobody in their right mind puts all eggs in one basket, and im certain theres nobody here thats skilled in absolutely every computer skill on the planet; its a perfectly natural thing to ask for help, the fool is the man who is too proud to; and considering the amount of data were talking about assistance was necessary.

So are we talking about jealousy of access or ignorance in it's capability and information displays - either way neither co-admins had access to anything harmful, private or exploitable. I think your remarks are sharp, off the cuff, and to some degree unwarranted.

The primary role and duty is to keep the boards running smooth and as long as thats achieved with or without a little help it has to be a good thing.

Coax was trusted with the responsibility to make such decisions, and since you both assisted in putting him in that position im wondering why you are going so ballistic. If you want moderator access at DMF to see what kind of stuff is available im happy to grant that.

the boss wont consult you when he wants a new secretary, he just hires one - so even in a "chain of command" as you put it, he's a step up and in a nominal unbiased view he has persued his task as best he knows how and to the best of his ability.

Don't worry about Kong. Kong and TM are like stormy lovers. They're always fighting but they always get back together... even when they shouldn't...

I don't always agree with Coax, but I agree with the community that he would make a good moderator. That's contingent upon Coax being able to handle it... if he can't then, maybe he's not perfect for it.

I don't know man... it's just weird you know.... it wouldn't have been such a big deal if we all knew about it, dig?

And Ras, don't minimize Kong's comments man, I've never read him saying that before.

Coax HAS excelled his duties in administrator of the board and it seems there was a time of madness with the whole Marmalizer affair.

I can understand that he may require help with such things. An innocent request to someone who is trusted within the community and has been a part of it for about a year and a half, who CAN help him without abusing his privileges seems feasible to me as Supe hasn't had much else to do so it seems!

It's primarily Coax and he is the one who made the decision, as Matrix said, because that is his duty to the BB!

LMAO!!! Pffft!!! Kong is the King of irascibility. You have no idea.

(adds additional flame retardent to already stuffy suit - you may fire when ready )

Otherwise, he was asked by this community to be the admin based on his character so it's a matter of trust. Besides, who cares? He needs help, he asked super and kevlar for some help. So far nobody has said anything bad about them so let's move on with helping coax and play.

If not, they consider yourself volunteered and see how you like the added work.

Wimp.

#1. I never had a problem with Guido-here or ingame. I learned long ago that words are only as powerful as one makes them. Therefore, I ignored Guido if I didn't think a topic/language was appropriate in order to avoid fanning the fire. I think it's a shame he was banned considering the characters on other, more populated bb's.

#2. I definitely don't think that pw's should be shared by anyone in a position of power(however insignificant) without proper authorization. coax was recommended as an admin and LDA obliged us-I don't recall them making anyone else an admin. I don't have a problem with coax-or with his asking for help from others. I DO have a problem with others being given the same access that he has. I don't think that our personal info's been sold to the highest bidder or anything-it's the principle of at least maintaining the APPEARANCE of security. If Supes hadn't said anything, I would have had no idea that he and/or Kevlar had admin access and I would've been secure in my ignorance(unfortunately). Sailor explained it well enough already, I think.

#3. Matrix, it's prolly true that you wouldn't run and ask the admiral/general where the dish soap is, but dealing with a chain of command mean that you advance to the next available level of command or supervison to determine your next course of action. And let's say that your fellow dishwasher knows where the soap is and how to get it, but it's locked up and only he has the combination/key. If he gives you the combo/key without authorization from a superior that could get you both in some hot water(oops-no pun intended). Yes, soap that's locked away is laughable, but I think that the access an administrator has is a bit more deserving of tighter security.
