I’ve probably missed something, but what is a super moderator - as in Marley23?
Linky?

Someone’s having a bit of fun.
Fair enough. Can I be a super member then?
I don’t know. How big is it?
Big enough to qualify. Small enough to fit in easily.
I’ve moderated on other vBulletin boards. There’s an option to have different ranks of moderators, with differing powers, eg Junior Moderator, Moderator, Super Moderator, Administrator. I’ve never seen the ranks used here though, other than Mod and Admin.
Probably a minor administrative hiccough. We’ll look into it.
The title “flunky apprentice” was in the wash that day, so we had to do something…
Just spare a thought for Marley23. One minute elevated to the heights, the next just dashed down again. My, you treat your mods badly. I might even have to summon up some sympathy. Ok - on second thoughts…maybe not.
I still want to be a Super Member. If only for a short while.
That being said, C K is now an administrator?
Big changes coming, it would appear.
I thought he always was- or is this a whoosh?
The Super Moderator gets to decide who the new Cecil is once the current Cecil ummm… gets sent to live on a big farm where he can run around all day and chase squirrels.
He’s always been.
CK’s been an Admin. since, well, forever.
To answer this, the VBulletin default administration setup permits two styles of moderator: “Moderator” has Mighty Mod. Powers in only the forum(s) he/she is assigned to moderate. “Supermoderator” has global Mighty Mod. Powers in all forums, though customarily he/she uses them outside his/her assigned forums only in the absence of the people assigned. (This may have changed; it was the standard several years back when I was working with VBulletin.)
All SDMB moderators are, technically, Supermoderators.
The Dread Pirate Cecil theory?
Is he faster than a speeding troll?
More powerful than a trainwreck?
Able to leap long threads in a single bound?
Look? Up in the sky!
It’s a poster. It’s a mod. It’s SuperMod!
Yes, it’s SuperMod - strange visitor from another planet* who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal mods. Supermod - who can change the course of mighty threads, bend socks with his bare hands, and who, disguised as Marley23, mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights the never ending battle for Truth, Justice and the SDMB Way.

This is offically the funniest thing I’ve heard all weekend.
That sounds about right; I know we’re all technically supermoderators. Why my title reads Super Moderator right now is beyond me. Sam told me about it in an email earlier but I thought he was making fun of me. It can’t be an administrative foulup because our administrators don’t foul up. 
Might’ve been those gamma rays I was exposed to the other day.
