Shame really, as I miss my Warlord title. This new one's rubbish.

They seem equivalent to me.

And none of the admin would be willing to do it?

There is only OS who even dares touch HMW, and he's permabusy.

Couldn't CB do it?

why cant OS delegate som of his jobs to other mods? if all the burden is falling on him, can't he basically hand out assignments to other mods?

Not if it's admin only stuff.

Though, if OS is busy doing other stuff, and he's the only admin for HMW, maybe there needs to be a second one who can handle the more board based admin stuff while he works on whatever top secret black project he's working on.

Don't forget that whatever is done it cannot crash or break the rest of seibs; all the login/user account basics are inherited from phpBB so it's not a from-scratch seibertron code base.

So I'm not surprised that the maintenance of anything related to the HMW code (financials, forum acccess, etc.) in the slightest fashion is delegated to him only. Without some serious process and version control it's very difficult to have multiple hands in a single code cookie jar. The delegation you mentioned does make a lot of sense - but even that takes (significant) preparatory work so that an average (or below, like Psych ) moderator can make significant changes to the game.

User titles in specific though - that does seem more board related BUT it sounds like it would require some level of site code modifications. Frankly though, I'm just glad I'm no longer a "Mini-Con"... it was embarrassing how long I had that title.

I'm not saying they'd have to do anything drastic. Just handle the minor things that are board side that they can't do as a mod. Like user titles. Things like that.
