This is probably not much of an issue, but I think it would be nice for people owning a Beta Board to have moderator privileges over that Beta Board. This could be abused, but I doubt its likelihood since that would only scare away testers.

I've only been on about 4 beta boards, but I think this would create more problems than leaving things as they are and having to call on an actual mod to resolve any issues.

It's a beta board. What issues are going to arise that require mod privileges?

Make sure you get Caravel approval before you use that pony tile or draw your own. Same with the empty alternative, though good luck drawing it differently

You are such a wet blanket. Was it really necessary to remind someone who's been here longer than even you that Caravel respects copyright rules?

i kind of thought the fact i specifically mentioned 'unauthorized' would have implied that i had no intention of respecting copyright here

Regarding the original post, I think it would be nice for an architect who starts a beta board to be able to sticky and unsticky the topics on that board. This is something that requires moderator privileges.

Beta boards for collaborative projects, such as the Advanced Concepts hold, can sometimes get huge.

Yes, this, along with the ability to delete threads and posts as deemed necessary, was what I was getting at. Nothing to do with handling the bad behavior, but rather organizing the good behavior.

Nope... It's called humour. I'd love to see how empty space could be drawn differently from... erm... other empty space. And I also doubt pony tiles were actually planned.

Shame you stopped being a human all the way back when

Oh. Yeah, I listened to NPR sometimes and I caught that segment... frankly, I think anyone could've gotten all those questions right. I mean really, anyone who thought "Krastos the Glue Maker" or "Chester the cynical grownup" were serious should probably get their humorometer checked.

True, but I never said I actually thought Bill Clinton was a brony. Lighten up, Frances!

Edit: On second thought, the link to a site that states Clinton's bronyhood as fact does imply that. I just put that because it was the first thing that came up when I searched "Bill Clinton brony."

In a timely fashion...

You can now use the bug tracking system in your beta boards. Right now, only the board owner can change status. Maybe it will stay that way forever! I don't know.

This is kinda almost but not really related to the actual request for moderator privileges, which I will probably do at some point too.
