VBForums Leaders page

Can someone please explain to me why there are lists of:

- Moderators and Moderator
- Administrators and Administrator_ (I may know the answer to this but still...)
- Also Super Moderators are still Moderators.

Thanks.

I suppose so people know who is in charge of what and how ot contact them.

The Moderators are a list of ALL moderators

Moderator is a list of just moderators. A moderator only has control over the section(s) to which they have been assigned.

Super Modertors have control over all sections.

Administrators is a list of admins for this site.

The Administrator (in this case, Martin) is a site specific admin, i.e., he is an admin only on this site whereas the others on the list are site admins across JM sites.

I perfectly understand that and the reason I asked was that in my mind there should only be ONE grid - not five:

Name Current Duty Forums Description Etc...

"Current Duty" (or whatever you want to call it) will tell everyone who you are : Site Admin, Admin, Super Mod or Mod...
Page design is very poor (by far imho). I don't visit that page often but every time I do I ask myself the same question "Why the heck there are 5 grids?" :)

Its easier to navigate and find exactly who your looking for if you seperate groups accordingly, otherwise trying to find the person based on the color of their username would be difficult for others who are new to the site. Plus moderators is the only one with a Forums column.

How is it easier to "navigate" through 5 grids rather than one when you only have 10-15 people? :confused:

Because they are seperated into groups. If they weren't how would someone totally new to the site know who was Moderator and who is an Administrator?

But groups have names duplicated all over... :confused: Anyway, I rest my case.

Thank you.

Forum Specific Moderators
Administrators
Administrator_
Moderator
Super Moderators

The only one that contains duplicates is the Forum specific mod section. And it is necessary because how will users know who is the moderator of specific forums? Some vBulletin themes don't show that on the forums index page. :)

I agree with RhinoBull.

Well then you two better talk to vBulletin about this ;)
