Hi AdminCAP,
Are you new to the forum or is this just a replacement name for an old CAP Staff member? I must have missed something. Thanks for clarifying it because I like to know who is doing what these days now that the Professor is no longer here. :cappy:
Someone asked me and I could not answer so I’m asking you.

Hi Gamtrak,
AdminCAP is utilized by the CAP team to make any important announcements regarding CAP (such as this one) and help to answer any questions that our moderators or members may have. The community itself, is run by the members of CAP :hattip:

That’s a JOKE right? :roflmao:
Why would a team use an admin account where they can do anything in the control panel (like accidently banning folks) and changing priviledges?
I have admin teams on my forums… they can access the backend and post as admin. That way more hours per day are covered with admin present in case some tech problems arise.
Gamtrak, no one has been banned here in some time, everyone is free to speak their mind. And from what I know, no one person can ban anymore, it takes warnings to the member and consensus.
“accidental bannings” are a thing of the past.
6.0 Infractions and Banning guidelines
In order to help maintain the professionalism of the forums, administrators and moderators have been given the ability to issue infractions. Consider an infraction a warning to change or face removal from the community.
6.1 All infractions will come from a forum moderator or administrator and will include a description. If you do not understand the reason you received the infraction, please ask for clarification. Your silence will signify your acceptance and understanding of the infraction.
6.2 After three (3) infractions a user will be up for administrative review. Based on the nature of the infractions, a decision will be made as to the account standing of the user. After administrative review, the user may be placed on a temporary “vacation” which will allow them to view, but not post in the forum, or the user may be banned for an extended period of time depending on the severity of the situation.
6.4 If you come across a user that has made a comment or pm that you feel warrants an infraction, please notify a forum moderator.
still a bit strange feeling, not to know a real name…
sounds like a robot is posting or something, lololol
it is said that he never wears socks and that the credit crunch does not have an effect on his beer consumption. You can actually hear his thoughts if you tune your radio frequency to $$$. All we know he is called the Admin.
:tongue:

I would never allow a team of admins to work at my forum for the following reason.
I want to know WHO is doing what. If something goes wrong then I need to know who to hold accountable NOT a team. I like to know who is working and who is slacking.
IMO the normal practice would be for each person to have thier own user id and grant rights to sections of the forum based on their positon, etc. so that there can be accountability.
Lastly, it’s always nice to read a post from an individual that you know instead of a team where you have no clue who there are. :wink-wink
I guess it depends on how much you trust your team members.
If I didn’t trust mine, they would never have access to admin in the first place.
As is, I have known them for years and they know what they are responsible for in admin. an can be trusted to stay away from ban buttons and the like, there are procedures in place for that.
My admins only post when it makes sense to post for admins – like tech items or maybe new policies.
I would assume that is the same here, although I have never had admin access here nor do I know who does.
How about a more simplified question then?
Who makes up this “team”?
And talk about the new CAP being transparent, this is not being transparent when we as the community can not contact management personally, one on one, not a team that we have no idea who we are addressing.

Exactly we have a team as well that run our forum and they have been with us for years, very trustworthy. I myself have 2 personal assistants that I could not survive without and trust them with no doubt to run our business.
Pat I think you can at anytime contact via pm Bob Rains, Warren, Yvette, etc anyone that you see as a CAP employee posting on the forum. The moderators are not employees but will be happy to pass along a message to the proper people if you are not happy with the pm results.

I don’t know who has admin access either, I don’t much care since all they do is tech stuff.
Decisions re. the forum come from us, if there are things to be decided like the posting policy, open discussions are started and policy is formed from member input.
As far as being transparent – it can’t be transparent until it is all settled because there is nothing to see. Once the legal dispute between Lou and Warren is settled by the lawyers, I am sure we will hear all about it here and then there will be facts to publish.
For now the community is pretty much self-governing. I like this idea, it makes sense to let people shape their own message board.
So if there is anything you’d like to see here, just say so.
That’s cool. It was just a little annoying being addressed in the mod/staff area by AdminCAP (someone that I did not know) when they did not bother to put their name. I’m sure it won’t happen again as I expect anyone addressing me to identify themself so that I can decide to act accordingly or not. :hattip:
If your that upset Gamtrak maybe you can ask in the private mods rm for answers?
anyway… it does not feel good/transparant…
Not sure how knowing the names of the various techs who do admin changes in the backend is going to help any transparency issues, they have nothing to do with decision making. Thats like wanting to know the names of the security guards of a company to insure transparency. Commonly one wants to know who the decision makers are.
At this time, making decisions has all to do with us members and nothing with the techs.
All I can say is that I hope Lou and Warren get on with this and settle their issues with each other quickly so that there will be answers to all these questions. I myself have no idea what they are doing. Like I said repeatedly, it’s with the lawyers and when things are in the hands of lawyers no one talks.
What I do know is that there will be a new policy re. casino programs, sometime in the first part of this month. I hope there will be transparency regarding that when the time comes.
