HELLOW!

Simple guide for idiots, how to use forum moderation without making it look like a clusterfuck or whatever.

Table of content:
1. How to check if you are a moderator.
2. How to select a thread/threads.
3. How to use moderation tools.
4. What each of the options does.



1. How to check if you are a moderator.


First, you'll have to ensure that you're a forum moderator. How to check? Your name will be under the section/sub-section.
Example:

Alright, good! Now you're sure that you actually got forum moderation power. Hooray!



2. How to select a thread/threads.

Moving onto the part where you can unleash your power. First off, you'll have to check the small squares at the right side of a thread.
Example:

3. How to use moderation tools.

After you've done that, you'll have to press "moderation tools" - it's now the fun begins!
Example:
http://i.imgur.com/GMiEpMY.png

Something like this would pop up; a list of actions you can do to the selected thread(s).
Example:
http://i.imgur.com/XvlS6yh.png
http://i.imgur.com/vPE0Kc9.png

After you've done that, you press the "proceed"-button at the end of the list.

4. What each of the options does.

Delete thread(s): Deletes a thread, nothing special. However, it will not be completely gone, only deleted softly, with the ability to revert the action. Only forum moderators can delete them. It will show the original thread creator and the person that deleted it, and a reason (if added).
Image of a soft deleted thread: click me (http://i.imgur.com/aEeRub9.png).

Undelete thread(s): Reverts the action of deleting a thread, restoring it. Only available if it has been deleted softly.

Delete thread as spam: Read "Delete thread(s)".

Open thread(s): Unlocks a thread/threads after a thread has been closed.

Close thread(s): Locks a thread/threads for posting, however section moderators/forum moderators and above can post on them. Can be done by checking the "Lock thread" once commenting on a section you moderate aswell.

Stick thread(s): Puts a thread on the top of a section, at each page.

Unstick thread(s): Makes a thread normal, not stickied.

Move thread(s): Moves a thread/threads around on the forums.
Image of the options when moving a thread: click me (http://i.imgur.com/rtuHSuR.png).
Note!! Leaving the "Yes" part checked will end up in the thread to leave a redirect link.

Merge thread(s): Merges several threads into one thread. You can choose section for where they end up, plus with that the new title shal be. All posts will be put into one thread.

Apply a prefix: Simply adds a word in front of a thread. Check sections like LSPD Recruitment Office for how a prefix looks like. Can be done via editing the post aswell.

Remove Prefix: Makes a thread's prefix removed. Can be done by editing the post aswell.

View all selected threads: No specific explaination needed.

Deselect all threads: No specific explaination needed.





AS OF 28/06/2015 NONE EXCEPT ME, MYSELF AND I ARE ALLOWED TO REPOST THIS. IF YOU TRY I'LL LITERALLY TAKE A BIG DUMP ON YOUR HEAD.

It seems like you don't care, but cared enough to pot here. In theory, you care enough to post "who cares", intending that you don't care when you do!

Doesnt take a genius to figure out but looking at the admin team and some faction leaders, maybe it will be useful.

Some people didn't know how to delete a visitor message. You have to spoonfeed people nowadays.

Can I ask how my postwhoring affects your life or in any way should bother you? I have lots of things to express, leading onto the amount of posts I have. Why don't you quit being a faggot for once and leave? Yoy don't do anything productive either.

No one are learnt to know everything by the start, it's the way of life. Some people might struggle to use said tools when moderator's been issued. And tell "section owners" to not do so, if you believe they are not to have it.

I love how people call me a postwhore when I post stuff that might have relevance, but then again these prime examples are let off like that.

Just leave the thread unless you have something to contribute, it's retarded.

People are given forum moderators because they've proven themselves in one way or another... Useless asslick thread...

Maybe if you didn't eat a too spicy curry today you'd see my intentions.

I started on this guide some time ago, it was origially meant to be placed in the RCSD OOC lounge, as the threads there looked like a clusterfuck that had never been made previously. But when I try to actually help others with a guide, and especially when people like you, come and call me an asslicked for attempting to help; then fuck off.

Come back later when you don't act like a retard.

...for some obscure reason, yes, you are.

OT:

It's a useful guide, I'll admit. But really don't see much point in it considering the fact that 95% of the community aren't mods and therefore, aren't in need of a guide covering forum moderation.

Good job, anyway.

Stop trying to aboard the bandwagon (I think it left without you anyway, too late) and posting ridiculous shit which has already been said anyway. Some people who moderate sections such as LSPD do indeed not know how to use the moderation tools, and they aren't assessed or anything before so this is the way of teaching them.
