Many members have wondered and asked who did what behind the scenes of JREF. In an effort of transparency, and to make it easier to contact the right admin, I will briefly explain who is in charge of what between Thomas and I.
Thomas
In charge of :
- technical issues, such as server problems, forum upgrades, plug-ins and hacks, such as the chat, or new functionalities (e.g. infraction system)
- JREF Directory
- Japan Banner Exchange
- Topsites Japan
- JREF Awards
- JREF Classifieds
Maciamo
In charge of :
- site design in general (drop menus, Flash maps, etc.)
- writing content articles outside the forum
- keeping the forum alive and create controversy ( )
- uploading new avatars, smileys or regional flags on the forum
- create new categories on the forum and gallery, and reorganise all the threads/photos to the right categories from time to time.
- JREF shop
- advertising & finance
Shared responsibility of all admins and moderators
- ban spammers, trolls and trouble-makers
- delete spam and very offensive threads (and occasionally offtopic, flaming or irrelevant posts)
- move threads to the right category/subforums in posted in the wrong one
- close threads that have gone out of hand
- split threads going offtopic (mostly done by Maciamo)
- merge similar threads (rare)
- give warnings or infractions to people not respecting the forum rules
- check multi-account abuses (automatically found by the forum script, but merger or deletion of accounts can only be done by a Team Member)
- check for flag location abuses
Please note that the responsibilities of the admins and mods are part and parcel of the moderation process. Please refrain from criticising or abusing admins/mods who follow these guidelines.
