I got a query , i see "Nuke user: N/A in topic #0 by member #509593"
What does Nuke means here? Banned ? Undecided

"Nuke" is something staff (esp. lower ranks) can do to newbies. It silently removes all their posts and bans the account. Its typically used to fight spambots.

That sounds really awesome , i have seen many newbie's making useless posts , so they must be spambots. How does a mod get's to know about it? Will it be good if i report them ?
Just one more question, You said staff (esp. lower ranks) , as i know there are two types of staff #1 Administrator and #2 Global moderator , so except Badbear and Theymos , everyone else is lower ranks staff or are there any more staff ranks ?

Mod knows by looking their posts. Their posts most probably will be rephrased. If you think a newbie is spambot, report it and it will be nuked.

Types of staff(according to their power/position):

 • Admin
 • Global Moderator
 • Moderator
 • Patroller

Thank you Smiley
I have never heard of Patroller before


Heh, you could add founder to the list of staff ranks. I have no idea what powers Satoshi's account has, I'd say probably adminstrator priviledges, but I'd imagine that has been changed years ago, since administrator accounts aren't left unattended for long. So I suppose it would be more apt to say Satoshi would have admin powers if they come back.

Admins: can do everything imaginable on the site. They however can't delete their accounts.

Global Moderators: can perma ban, nuke newbies, see and handle reports from all sections, and see reported PMs.

Moderators: can see and handle reports from their sections and nuke newbies

Patrollers: Are essentially Moderators but can only do moderator tasks for newbie members.


None of the links in OP is hidden with that logic. The only hidden page to normal members is Staff Forum.

And the Donator/VIP section and Trashcan.

So that means , Moderators are patrollers outside of their Section?
Or is it something else , can i get a profile link to a patroller ?
