Paperpusher's Message Board: Difference between revisions
→Administrators and moderators
Line 25:
==Administrators and moderators==
Paperpusher appointed his first two "[[Daria Fandom Lexicon|elves]]," or moderators, in early 2000: [[Diane Long]] and [[Kara Wild]]. Since traffic was low, the moderators seldom needed to act, and Kara Wild notes, "At times, I forgot that I even was a moderator." That would change when Outpost Daria's Message Board shut down permanently. As the PPMB post count surged, Paperpusher annointed several more moderators, including [[Chad Page]], [[Steven Galloway]], [[Crazy Nutso]], [[Kemical Reaxion]], [[Canadibrit
After the creation of the "Paperpusher Message Board 2.0" in 2003, only Kara Wild, Steven Galloway, Chad Page, and J remained as moderators. They agreed to moderate the new board, which now gave them the option of moving threads, deleting entire threads at once, checking IP addresses of users, and locking threads. However, notably, this new message board stripped them of some powers they had on the original PPMB, specifically the power to delete users, mute users, or "undelete" posts that might have been deleted accidentally. This arrangement proved to be problematic when the Paperpusher spent less and less time interacting with Daria fandom and the PPMB found itself beset by spammers and other trolls. Kara Wild and Steven Galloway, the two remaining active mods, could only delete the posts, not the users.
