I believe they can't ban... :hrm: This is a good question actually.
Cool! Now I can go piss off NeAvO without worrying about that :DQuote:

Lucid dreaming forums to be precise, I believe.
Yeah, I found something about forum groups, and that DGs have mod powers in "Lucid Dreaming".Quote:

More likely move stuff out of lucid dreaming forums (which is basically the same :P).Quote:

We can do something to a thread as long as its in a dream forum, so we can move threads out of dream forums yes, but not back in.
DGs can also delete posts and threads throughout the forum. The idea is that their focus is more in the dreaming forums, and their role is more along the lines of being the "face" of the staff.
More importantly, though, they can request any moderator or administrative action they want and it will be done for them in a heartbeat, no questions asked - and they don't even have to take the blame for it.
In my humble opinion, the DGs have by far the most important job here. They are the real personality of Dream Views.
Aw shucks Peej :roll:
I feel all warm and fuzzy inside! :content:
Thanks pj!

Because if NeAvO suddenly went mad with power and started banning everyone with over 500 posts, DV would be screwed :D. Just kidding NeAvO, please don't have me banned again :cheeky:Quote:

We want the DGs first and foremost to concentrate on helping make people feel welcome and at home here. That's a huge calling, considering the size of this community, the number of newbies coming in all the time and the kinds of questions that arise from as interesting a subject as Lucid Dreaming.Quote:

I hope that helps!
Wow, that makes my answer sound like crap :DQuote:

Whoever moved this just decreased my post count by about 15.
I TOLD YOU THEY WERE OUT TO GET ME :cry:
I moved it. If you don't want it moved to Senseless, then stop posting senseless stuff in a Meta Forum thread :PQuote:
