    Ok this suggestion may have been suggested already but I haven't head of it or seen something like it.

    So it's pretty straight-forward: My suggestion is to implement a Forum Administrator.
    Cyp currently has tons of threads that he needs do deal with on a daily basis. I was just browsing all the "Help" threads and there are a substantial amount of threads Cyp has to deal with. He can't get around to them all too quickly of course and I think he could use some help from a forum admin.

    Tell me what you think about this idea: but pls don't spam with hate ;-; cx

    Now, it has been "decided"/suggested that if anyone where to get this position, it would be Zambiana or nobody. Many supports are only if it is Zambiana because he is obviously the best choice.

    Supports: Approx 15.
    No Supports: 1

    Zambiana

    Thats who I immediately think of

    Cyp needs to handle the server stuff so having a mod given the role of admin for the forums is probably a good idea... and of course theres only one person who should do it...
    But with that being said, all those help threads are things that cyp need to do himself on the server and things like name changes are not important enough.

    In other words a forum admin would have no power over most of the problems Cyp has to deal with unless they are in game admins too.

    I suggested this to Cypriot awhile ago and it was denied, sadly. A Forum Admin would be so beneficial as they could focus and cut out some workload for Cyp.

    I'm confused.. is that a support or a no support? (yes I understand but there are lots of things that could be dealt with by another admin.)

    Admins are financially compensated.
    It's not that Cyp didn't want help. It's just promoting another admin of any kind would cost money.

    Maybe S-Mods could be given access to unbanning forum unbans etc.

    I think the ultimate decision is up to noobcrew so I'll quote him here in case he doesn't want this. It could save some time :)

    Only way to unban someone on Xenforo is through the AdminCP which S mods will never have access to. They could literally turn off the forums from there, and give anyone any forum rank they want. So only admins will have unban perms for now. You can go to Xenforo if you want if changed
