Just wondering, for no real reason.
Can you see who is logged in and what posts they are reading at the moment?
Can you see previous edits to a post, say if someone edits their post to NM?
Can you see drafts that are never posted?
Any other cool spy powers?
Just wondering what level of spying is possible- and no, I am not concerned about it
Well, I won’t comment on what you did with that capybara, but I wouldn’t go drawing attention to myself if I were you.
I think all posters can see this:
Joined Nov 6, 2003 Last Post just now Seen just now,
Try clicking my username and click it again and let me know if you can see those fields.
We can see and revert edits.
I don’t think we can see drafts, can’t imagine why we would want to.
4a) We can see if you’ve been naughty or nice. I mean track all your past warnings and see all flags that have been thrown against your posts.
4b) We can check your Preferences and Badges. Though I don’t think that counts as cool spy powers.
-1. As a mere mortal I can see others join, last post, and seen info.
-4. As a mere mortal I can see others’ badges, but not preferences.
The preferences help with troubleshooting.
If I’m on my PC, I can easily dive down to there to find out what Theme is being used and notifications settings. This is very handy for helping with tech issues. On my phone, it is a pain in the butt.
Yeah. It makes total sense for a mod to be able to see (and perhaps change) other’s preferences to do help desk / tech support for users.
I’m not telling but please put some pants on.
I know you’re lying because the pantless capybara isn’t even the half of it.
Non-Spy powers: We can off course change your title. Custom Titles Queue {Please make your requests in this thread} and we record such changes here: Completed Title Changes Thread {Mar 2024}
Almost always @engineer_comp_geek, but we can change usernames & names, but not Emails. Well ECG might be able to do that, he has some extra powers.
For some reason we can edit badges. That seems odd. I never did this and doubt I would. I don’t need no stinkin badges, not sure about you.
So be good for goodness sake.
Seriously. No judgment whatsoever:
You’re a Mod! What use would you have for badges when you’ve got those awesome jackboots that command instant respect throughout the realm?
It’s the rest of us proles who crave our badges as validation that our pitiful lives have some worth to someone.
But Discourse itself sometimes rats out the Mods!
I’ve received Discourse notifications when a Mod (completely justifiably) fix or alter a post of mine, showing the before and after with the changes highlighted! Discourse knows all, discourse sees all… beware it’s horrific minion, Discobot and live in fear, ye mockers!
I probably don’t want to ask this, but was that from your private photo collection, or did you just create that?
If you can see our preferences, does that mean you can check out our ignore lists?
I’ll check, but I think we can.
BRB: The answer is yes.
The amount you deposited + Interest - withdrawals.
How much is in my bank account right now?
So, zip.
Hey, I for one pride myself in being of “no account”!
I’ll betcha I got more!
