and feel free to close once its been answered.

how is it that createsecret and askalice got modding powers on the relationship forum?

i was just browsing the mod team, and i noticed.

Both are supposed to post to their respective threads and close them when done so that people don't post in the threads themselves. You have to be a moderator for a forum in order to close threads.

Createsecret has a discussion thread and AskAlice is supposed to have "problems" emailed.

As Steven has pointed out though, AskAlice isn't something I would refer to as a success. We had wanted AskAlice to post around the Relationship forums, sort of make a name for "herself" so that people had an idea of who they would be emailing problems to. That never happened and the whole AskAlice thing has sort of died.

I had much more faith in createsecret and still think that it has potential. I've actually brought up both of these Backstage recently.

Anyway, there isn't much in the way of modding abilities that either have, other than being able to mod threads in the Relationship Forum for the sole purpose of really only modding ONE thread (their respective threads). Unfortunately you can't limit moderating abilities to individual threads, so they were given modding abilities in the actual Relationship Forum.
