Please, don't think of the Administrator as in some way superior to the Moderators. That is not the case. The Moderators are a wonderful set of people who put in an enormous amount of hard work for this Forum and related activities. They possess an incredible amount of specialist knowledge and have accummulated hundreds of years of sea-going experience between them. For that, they deserve your ultimate respect.
In a similar way, the unseen and largely unknown Custom Mision Managers put a phenomenal amount of work into reviewing missions for people to download. They put up with a considerable amount of spiteful timewasting and mistaken uploads. Yet they cheerfully review and approve the good ones. For that, they also deserve your ultimate respect. Again, they possess an incredible amount of specialist knowledge and have accummulated hundreds of years of sea-going experience between them. (In some cases, they may have accummulated almost a hundred years single-handedly - they know who I mean!
).
My "new" role here is simply a number of additional tasks that I, or any other Administrator, will conduct. The real work is done by those I've mentioned above, of course. And I still wear that Moderator hat along with my colleagues.
The Administrator role is quite minor in comparison to my "normal" work.
If it was in real life, I'd now be holding a brush and sweeping the dust from the corners... I didn't get a special ray-gun to zap things with.
:laugh:
