How much more power does being an administrator give then being a simple moderator?

Like, can Kennigit pull rank on Chill? Or is just a shiny blue bar made to trick the simple-minded into believing they have higher status?

Technically I'm sure he could, but it's never happened to me. There does seem to be a natural pecking order however, where I would make my case strongly heard and if he didn't back down I'd be forced to concede. I've never seen admin pull rank.

I'd imagine administrators discuss more high level policies, business deals and money. Money, membership, and "how can we get more value" kinds of things are never discussed at the moderator level.

Maybe they're not even talked at the admin level? I have no idea O_o

Zatic, why did you choose the mule as your icon?

My biggest contribution to Teamliquid was programming an army of robots who would download Broodwar VODs off Korean websites, create torrents off them, upload and seed them to the TL tracker, upload them to http://www.youtube.com/nevake , message other cool heads on TL so they could update the Small Vod Thread and probably more. Some of those guys even knew haiku and sent neat PMs to other staff members.
With the advent of SC2 not many people know about those days, but the mule fits in well with the robot theme I feel.

A few people have asked, but it hasn't been answered yet, so again: Is liquid looking into picking up any more progamers, especially with the new razer sponsorship?

Yeah we pretty much just discuss the boring stuff. The ad slot, TSL/Liquid sponsorships, which sponsored threads to accept, any interaction w/businesses (which is mostly NDA'd), and overall site direction.

We also talk shit about the mods.

Do you guys ever wake up in the morning and think to yourself: "I'm the admin/mod of the best online gaming community, I'm such a big deal, fuck yeah!"

Speaking of which, when's the last time any of the admins felt well-rested? (Besides Kennigit, he's a lazy bum.)

Ahh another question, is there any chance for random icons?

It could be like a dice. And as your post count goes up the number on the dice increases. Okay that's a dumb idea but you get the gyst.

I get tired of being called a zerg player -.-

Well, I can answer this one.

It is because iNcontroL likes horses.

Is Ziggy Stardust secretly the smurf of a staff member?

Just quoting this because Im extremely curious as well. As someone who once read all of Ziggy's posts (he doesn't have that many) I'm surprised he hasn't been banned which makes me think he is a smurf or something.

Answer my question please
