Forum :: Lounge :: Watchdogs

Just wondering what the idea behind a watchdog is XD!? Because obviously it's different to sausages bitchez ;P Sounds like an interesting little feature you've got just floating about in the air there :L

If money doesn't grow on trees, then why do banks have branches?

I'm guessing it's like the EO admin ranks, where with the higher the rank the more responsibility and the more things they can do. I just think they are useless until Sausage gives the moderators more power. (Delete posts, rate posts, etc.)

Apollo, ananas, and some other guys used to be Watchdogs a long while back. Sausage just made some of them mods and hasn't used them since. They were like the peacekeepers.

Love you too.

I have no fucking clue what they're for. They pretty much got to watch what all the moderators were doing, presumably to let everyone know if one of them was doing bad things. :P

As watchdog you could approve and deny guest posts, and basically see what mods did (Moving, deleting, etc).
Because this was rather pointless, people as watchdog got demoted.

As far as I know, only me and Syran were watchdogs back then.

Basicially their people with no life and make sure mods arent abusing power so basically we need people who are on forums alot and they see what their doing with their power and why
but if a watchdog caught a mod breaking a rule I guess he would tell sausage or something
Lol perfect job for a spammer
EX: Me =P

Basically people with no life? You can still have a life, but instead of spamming the forums (like you), you actually had a purpose on this community.
Mostly people that atleast contributed something to this community. (Instead of useless spamming etc).

We were also able to read the Spam Can forum back in the day. Other than that, I don't think we did anything else. I don't even think we had colored names, I don't really remember.

You don't know that much then. Me and Apollo also were. We got promoted, you got demoted.

Oh, I don't care really. All I know was the fact that Watchdogs were taken out because it was a "useless" rank.

From what I can see it is a bit of a useless rank XD! Other than being able to see the spam can, must be a few funny posts in there :L
