Special Dispensation Possible?

[MDJAK]

I'll say right off the bat, I love this place and this is not a huge deal.

But (you knew there would be a but) is it possible to customize the software to allow reputable members (and I realize that may not be me :( )
to allow pms to more than five people at one time, say a limit of ten? All I use that for is to ask for CC on pics at times. I realize it can and has been abused, but members with a certain number of posts aren't the ones who do that usually.

Also, the ability to send a pm more frequently than once per minute which is I view as severely limiting. Perhaps when a member reaches a certain post count, with no warnings from mods, or a variation of that, they can be allowed to send one every 30 seconds or even less.

Is any of that possible or desired by anyone besides me?

Those are special limits we gave you. Everyone else already has those capabilities.

If I recall correctly, a number of us signed a petition asking the Mods to put those limits in place on the good Doctor. ;):p

Man,
That's cold !!!

[Pete]

And I'm sure certain members would appreciate being able to report posts every two seconds instead of the imposed two minutes... :D

Um, yeah, that's not gonna happen!:lol: There are only so many mods to deal with all of your reports.:p

Simple option would be to make me a Mod also... :D

What do you get with an entry level mod package? Is that a 6 digit salary with that? Any perks, holidays? What are we talking, waiting list? Sign me up for two.

Um . . . Yeah . . . That's another "special limit".

Simple option would be to make me a Mod also... :DNo - that would be the complicated one - we'd need twice as many of us to put things back where they really belong!

Yeah - 6 digits. $000000. Holidays? Alternate turn-of-century leap days. And people are waiting to get off the list.

So we will have chaos on the 29th of Feb? Your saying the forum doors will be left wide open for the day with members running unabashed the full 24 hours? Oh the humanity.

[Jon]

Feb. 29, 2008 isn't a turn-of-the-century leap day. Last one was Feb. 29, 2000.

And that day never happened!

The time limit between PM's is global for all and in place to prevent spammers from abusing pm's.

As for number of pm's. There is an easy way to get the posibility to pm 30 at one time. Ready for it ?






















































Join the book project for volume 3 as an IM then you get the posibility to send pm's to 30 at the same time ;)

You didn't get that christmas bonus from Pekka. My salery is now increased to 8 digits I guess it only applies to the european moderators I am sure Glenn and Sam got it too.

Well, I didn't want them to know how much we're really raking in. Actually, my bonus brought the annual haul up to 9 digits . . .
