Should Moderators be allowed to play in the 'where is this' game?

Ziroc · 02-18-2002, 10:26 PM

Just wondering if it should be open to only non admin/mod types.. See, since the Mods have an image that is specific to their MOD title, I could not change their image unless I removed their mod status.. So they could not display their 'award' image.

Comments welcomed-- Mod's too.. Just wondering.

If it's not possible to change their image,maybe it's an idea
to allow them to add a sentence to their signature,for instance
"winner of the where's this contest last week" or something like
that,and remove that when the next winner is known.

Maybe add a pic to their sig?

I think they should be allowed to join,why shouldn't they share the fun?

Yes i think they should. Let them have their little bit of fun. But maybe they will have to miss out on title. :/

NO WAY

- just kidding - anyone should be eligible.

I think your biggest problem is how you keep competition going when someone guesses straight away. It would be better to reward the most accurate answer rather than just the first to name the city or the country. With the latter, you mostly reward the people who were online when you post the thread and could answer fastest (no offense to my good buddy Mouse and all those before me who robbed me of all the glory last time

). Also I think you need a system that keeps posted answers secret, so that interest is maintained for a couple of days. They could then be visibly added back in to the thread.

Hey, just my 2 cents

Of course we should be allowed to play!! [img]graemlins/greenbounce.gif[/img]

I wouldn't worry about the special avatar for mods - emerging victorious over the rest of this rabble is satisfaction enough. [img]graemlins/rocking2.gif[/img]

Of course they should be able to compete! Why not? They're human as well.. aren't they?? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Sir Exxon · 02-19-2002, 06:34 AM

Of course the mods can play!
And if they win, you can just put a pic or sentence under their mod-rank.

Well spotted, Link.

I think it's time to confess that the entity you have known as "Mouse" is in fact the first example of Artificial Intelligence.

I/we are in fact the collective conciousness of a network of interconnected supercomputers. If you have seen the film "Terminator", you will know what happens next.......... [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]
