Scenario: You log on one morning to find someone who clearly shouldn't be there (eg. Me, Demonic Gophers, TAR) had forum mod powers. What do you do?

Think you can become an admin and give me the title "Best Damn User Alive" instead of this Negotiater thing?

Easy- I de-mod 'em, possible forumban and/or delete them, and send word up the line to Salusa and/or Max and/or [violet].

Mess not with the security of this site- for the staff is quick on the modbomb button with those who try. :evil: Remember JARROS?

JARROS set up a phoney Nationstates 2 'beta' site, sent people TGs about it, that their nation and pword were all set up, and used the fake site to try and hijack nations. He was promptly caught, drawn, hung, quartered, IP banned, and slapped with a DEAT-On-Sight order.

Oh, and he was also a UN multi, to boot.

Yes, but what if I de-modded you first? And I deleted you're nation. And I killed all the other Mods and I raised DG and TAR and Liberal Monsters and others to mod status? And we all squared off against you. And we had swords too.

Would we stand a chance?

You can't take over the world using Mod Powers. Trust me, we've tried.

Uhhh.... I mean.... Ummm.... that NationStates is merely a web game, and you can't use a website to take over the world. An Ambrosiaite already has that angle covered. (http://www.evula.com)

Just out of curiosity now, what if someone hacked into NS and gave himself Admin powers and was able to DEAT all of the Mods and remove all of the other Admins? Would we be completely screwed or what?

You could remove the admin's name from the mod center though. I think...

What if such a person DEATS every single nation he can and deletes all posts? How big a headache would that cost you guys?

Another Question: Could you ever see me being a mod? I mean is there any chance at all, or am I just too unhelpful?

Heh, see, thing is, Forum Mods can't appoint new forum mods or DEAT folks. And a GM's nation has no bearing on whether or not that GM can access the mod centre, revive their nation, and then proceed to modbomb the crapola out of the guy that did it. (As was noted in the "Bastard NS Moderator From Hell" thread.) And a lowly forum mod's access is tied to their nation existing.

As for getting at the mod centre... well, let's just say that has absolutely no connection to the forums whatsoever, and that the Powers That Be (aka- Max) could rectify the situation very rapidly, should the need ever arise. :evil:

I have a question. That picture of Max at the book signing, where it says that there are two mods, can you tell me which mods are there so I can have a better chance of pairing a face with a name?

So then a forum mod has no acess to the mod center?
