    If Agent Proto gets the babes, then I'll be him for one day.

    Admins can, effectively... anyone with FTP could do fixable damage, but the few of us that are able to run SQL queries (Cid, Samuraid, clout and myself - not sure if anyone else can) could wipe the entire forums database with a single command. But that would just be dumb. The most a CK could do is delete all the threads/posts.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    There are a couple other staff members who could theoretically run SQL queries, but they have no reason to do so and are very responsible.

    The forums get backed up a few times a week as it is...

    How about we rotate Senior Site Staff, Site Staff, Recognized Members and Former Staff as CK's for a day. At least you know we're halfway responsible!

    Well, I for one think the point of the fake title should be the fake title. You know, a member goes around flashing his CK title but has no actual CK superpowers.

    Why do you want me banned?

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    They need a scapegoat for their sins.

    A perfect chance to PM everyone saying 'All your base are belong to us'.

    Obviously, the thing not to do is to instead make a newbie a "Squire" for a day/week and treat them like a sub-mod. Give 'em a forum that no one cares about, like the Heart of Kingdom's Hearty Heartily King's Domain Or Kingdom, and train them how to be a good mod. It's like a test run. PM members to give 'em a few issues to deal with, like a flame argument between two people, inappropriate forum posts (i.e., not family-friendly or just a thread in the wrong forum), and the like.

    Of course, I wouldn't expect making any member a Squire (Cid's Squire?); recommendations along with admin approval would be a preferred selection process than picking names out of a list.
