HA

I'm a pleb, and proud of it

Mods are the 99% man, that's why we occupy webdip.

Jamie, are you the lowest of your potential classes, or the highest? In other words can a mod be a third clad citizen by becoming a silver doner? Or by becoming a mod, does a once third class citizen become a seventh class?

I'd say a Mod that is a Silver Donator is in the same class as a Regular User.

That's impressive SYnapse. In all honesty, congratulations for changing what seems to be a habit of a lifetime to me.

Now start donating to charities!

Just out of curiosity: how much did you donate?

When I was a mod I saw that there is actually a Platinum badge. I was going to award it to myself temporarily to see what it looked like but I didn't see a way to remove badges and it would not have been too subtle.

"Just out of curiosity: how much did you donate?"

Please don't ask that, Kestas doesn't want the donation levels public, even the admins don't know them.

No offence anyone, but especially in the forums, the only first class citizens are trolls.

This has never changed for ages. Mods, Admins, and even Kestas come after the trolls. So no body should be disillusioned about their importance here.

"Please don't ask that"........?

Don't ASK THAT?

Please fuck off.

"Just out of curiosity: how much did you donate?"

Who asked that? I dont see it on my thread

It was the last sentence of steephie's. I have a friend who donated $100 and got gold. I think I remember seeing that from someone else, too.

Oh I have him muted lol

Anyway yeah donations are secret for a reason

SYnapse - I would think that you would reject the notion of badges outright, as it is a false classification of citizens. There may be people here that are put down and disregarded for their lack of badges who are simply unable to contribute, thus setting up a false dichotomy.

Mods, I've got a complaint.

Despite muting users, I can still read all their forum posts by viewing the home page source code. The rules say:
You can mute any other user which you don't want to see in the forum or get PMs from.
You can mute any forum thread you aren't interested in.
You can mute any country playing in a game with you.

This allows you to block out anyone or any discussion you find offensive

However I cannot block them in fact, can this be addressed?

"...there is actually a Platinum badge. I was going to award it to myself temporarily to see what it looked like..."

It's a gold star. Oli has it over on vDip if you want to see what it looks like.

@SYnapse - That shouldn't be happening... We'll look into it.

Bite.

People always banging on about donating to the forum ..... it makes me mad with rage.

Could someone just point out to SYnapse that I only congratulated him, and actually have been doing little else to him for quite a while? I even gave him advice, and I'm really not as insulting as he seems to think. What's in a thread stays in a thread if it's up to me. No hard feelings.

Wait a sec... Why does SYnapse want to look at the site in source code?

I actually think, based on what Lando and Draug have said about the delay in hiding muted posts and from what Synapse is seeing in the source code that all posts are loaded and javascript hides muted ones to save server processing time/power. So what Synapse is seeing is by design.

Ah - I didn't notice the source code part. SYnapse - it's probably best you don't read that if you don't want to see these posts. As Mapu said, it's part of the way the site works and doesn't really need to be changed.
