\*\*jdavis \*\*has made an announcement … signed by **Tubadiva**. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/announcement.php?f=&a=183](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/announcement.php?f=&a=183) Just for clarification, are these two names the same person? If so, why? ---

Only Admins can post announcements. jdavis appears to be the only person on the board with Admin rights, so I’m guessing he reposted Tuba’s Threadspotting announcement on her behalf. ---

I believe several people had Admin status until a recent SNAFU on the board. Since then, jdavis is the only Admin and those who were Admins are now Moderators. ---

His announcement is only good for one month only, according to the posting date: > [@](#): > > 08-06-2014 until 09-06-2014 Maybe we should suggest [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=730459) for Weird Earls? ---

Since then, jdavis is the only Admin and those who were Admins are now Moderators. This is also correct. And these are two great examples of why it’s hard to define “junior modding.” Both of these posts are speaking “officially” by people who don’t have official status, but they’re obviously being very helpful and saving the mods a buncha time, so clearly NOT “junior modding.” ---
