Do the moderators and administrators of the SDMB only regulate the posts in the forum they are assigned to? For example, can manhattan close a thread in the Pit, or is manhattan only given mod rights in GQ?
We have rights in all fora. Due to time constraints, we usually moderate in the forum we’re assigned to, with the possible exception of ATMB. But should the situation warrant it, we also help out in other fora. In case of spammers or obvious trolls, for example.
Well, none of us is online 24/7, and none of us is able to be in multiple places at the same time. Thus, while there are specific mods and admins in charge of each forum, we all help each other out. Any mod has full authority in any forum. In cases where we have discussions or differences of opinion, of course, the moderators of the forum involved are the ultimate decision makers.
Which is why no one will ever make fun of Switzerland in my forum. That’s Winkelried Rule # 1.
Making fun of the Swiss is allowed, though.
So. Horst and Franz are walkin’ down the Hohenbuhlstrasse, and Franz turns to Horst, and he sez…
This is unique, only Mods and Admins have answered, no smart-alec posters have popped up. Neato!!
Well, some smart-alec Mods and Admins have popped up.
Well, until you broke the record!
Ah, but he was the OP – without him, there would be no question for us to answer.
So, really, it was until you broke the record!
Better make Polycarp a moderator stat; this record is too cool to lose.
Okay, we’ll let him in on a technicality.
Poly is now hereby, officially and honorarily ::trembles:: SWISS.

P.S. Poly, the lederhosen thing? Try corn starch.
… and as soon as he does the knock knock joke with “little old lady”, he loses his Swiss identiy, under the Geneva Convention.
