Author Topic: What's it mean if someone's being "watched?" (Read 6534 times)

So I've been reading some threads, and I noticed one user had an icon in the lower-left of his post. It was a green shield with an exclamation point with the words "watched" to the right of it.

What does this signify?

Means they've received moderation.

Removed by request of the forum staff.

This is a bug in the forums software. Only moderators are supposed to be able to see the mentioned status(es), but some other users can evidently see them as well. We unfortunately don't have a fix for this, so please ignore it and don't discuss it for the sake of privacy. The majority of users and all guests will never see the tags.

People who are DMing on this site are given the Honorary Moderator status for their private board. Maybe that's how they see stuff for Moderator-eyes-only?

I wish I could tell you, having recently obtained such mod status, but I pay very little attention to the left hand side of the forum. I'd be doomed if people changed their avatars.

Edit - Won't help. I know all.

Alright everyone, change your avatars on 3, 2, 1...

Avatar changed.

Amechra · « **Reply #10 on:** December 04, 2012, 07:31:22 PM »

You know, my first thought was "wait, I don't remember posting that..."

Well played, sir, well played.

Hey guys, what's going on?

Garryl · « **Reply #12 on:** December 04, 2012, 09:18:46 PM »

Hey! Get your own avatar. Stop stealing mine.

Amechra · « **Reply #13 on:** December 04, 2012, 09:20:04 PM »

I seem to have infected another account...

Coolness.

Halinn · « **Reply #14 on:** December 04, 2012, 09:27:37 PM »

Okay guys, you really should stop it. It's quite confusing.

Amechra · « **Reply #15 on:** December 04, 2012, 09:34:09 PM »

No it's not.

Now, why am I talking to myself again?

Libertad · « **Reply #16 on:** December 04, 2012, 09:51:32 PM »

You're not alone, Amechra. We're all part of the hive-mind now. No more individuality, arguments, or selfishness promoting the whims of one over all else.

Isn't it wonderful?

Amechra · « **Reply #17 on:** December 04, 2012, 10:04:22 PM »

That was the goal.

As you know, since we all are one.

Okay, that's enough for me. I miss V too much.
