Hello all. When checking Who's online I often see Mods and the Admins, viewing or replying to a thread we can't see. :?: It only says Viewing thread or Replying to thread. :?: :shock:
Is there some backstage forums us non-mods don't know of?? :wink: :naughty:

Possibly, I know there are unseen sections available to mods on other forums I post on. They too are powered by vBulletin.

Spot on mate, there is an area where we can meet up and have a chat about any issues that arise. You’ll find that nearly all forums have such an area, it’s inevitable when there’s so much going on and we have to arrange to cover for each other on the forums and such.

Of course there is mate. It's not particular to vBulletin either. Having a non-public staff only area is an integral feature to every forum software - phpBB, IPBB or vB, no different.
BritishBlades has one and so does every other forum as far as I know.

Wow! How cool... do you deal drugs covertly through it? :naughty: are there any members who can hack into the area and spy on what goes on? :rolmao:
chris don't bring that up
there are issues on other forums I go on where people put certain codes in which get past the swear filters and it causes n end of problems for the mods
I'm just glad this place (and britishblades) is fairly good and the moderators don't have to spend all their time telling people off
must get back to reprogramming games so I can complete them
snipers acting like the women and children etc

Actually what we do is make important decisons, drink beer, take drugs and share pornography - OK just kidding, that isn't true, we never make important decisions. :D :D
Seriously (yes I was joking above), the adminitrative forum is where decisons about website direction, policy and rules get made. It's where decisons about new software, mods, hacks colour schemes and logo's get talked through. Where special offers, events and plans for the future get hashed out. Sometimes decisons about moderating style and sometimes specific moderation issues get talked through - all truly mundane, but it is absolutely vital for the smooth running of any community based website and forum. It enables the owners, admins and moderators to sing from the same hymnsheet and present the community with a coherant and fluid structure - that's the idea anyway. :)
So to answer your question, yes there is a coherant management structure in place. ;)
Didn't everybody already know this??? :?:
... and we have better games in the arcade ... ones that actually pay out money! :o):
