Because you all tag me sometimes...

Administrator, Veteran
If you notice in the community rules...
...I'm not listed as an admin. I haven't worn that hat for a while.
I do still have the role in Vanilla for technical access reasons so I show up as an admin. I do help out if I see obvious spam, and I try to clean up ancient warnings, etc. but I'm not adminning/moderating day-to-day.
So if you need help...
...open a ticket...or if you must tag, tag on of the admins.
BTW to avoid rumors...this was due to time limitations on my side. Being a mod here means watching threads closely and I don't have the bandwidth to a good job. I do still participate here of course.
I salute @trewq @FAT32 @hawc @Jord @Not_Oles @MikePT @netomx @angstrom @DP, @Arkas, and @jbiloh for all their hard work on making LET great.

You can make a hidden role for technical access and not show up as an admin.
tagging @raindog308 *g
Either the 'community rules' is wrong or outdated or the Vanilla tag system is spreading a lie! (should it be temp banned maybe?) because on @DP's user page it says "Roles: Administrator, The Domain Guy"
Or maybe this is a conspiracy and DP disguises as a mod but is an admin? Maybe DP even has a cat, or maybe a favourite squid he tenderly strangles before going to bed so that the squid can't tell us the truth?
Maybe "The Domain Guy" is correct but he keeps silent about what domain - maybe he is a professional in linking domains via (previously murdered) squids? Or maybe the Vanilla tag system just likes him a lot (like many here incl. myself *blush) and frivolously smuggled in an admin tag?
Finally LET has a big mystery to solve... how exciting!
Wow. An administrator who does not like to be tagged. What's next? Paying bilohbucks to be able to tag admins? It would not surprise me because there are providers out there charging extra for support.
Maybe hiding the admin tags from the public would be a solution, but I never tried to play with Vanilla forums backend to know what's possible or not. I don't know how this can be turned into monetary value either.
Anyway, moving on. I don't like to be part of administrative emotions, because these could become highly inflammable at some point.
Good effort, but alas, there's no drama here.
I'm tagging @raindog308 to get this thread closed. Oh wait...
Oh, come on, really! Let me help you out, it should be "An administrator in title only because the forum software isn't flexible enough" who does not like to be tagged *needlessly".
And the "biloh bucks" mentioning was totally not needed and off.
