Then why did you bother giving Sectional Moderators global permissions.. Why not just keep it the way it was before or upgrade the Appellate Moderators perms.

Moderating is much more effective when we have permissions in every section, that way each moderator has the powers to help users when required without the need of waiting a sectional moderator to come online

Hence globals. Lol.

Sometimes a spam bot is on the forum and I am the only moderator online. If thats the case and I couldn't clean those forums nothing would stop it until the sectionals came online.

Ever since forum moderators were given permissions globally, the g'mod rank lost great appeal. It's main purpose after that was to do appeals, it was no longer a promotion as much as it was 2 years ago. So a name change to reflect more of it's job(It was no longer a global mod, it's permissions are equal to that of forum moderators outside of banning/unbanning without infractions and a couple profile perms) I feel was in order .

So why Appellate instead of Super?

Sectional moderation is actually only used on forums that contain mature or professional standards. You wouldn't want someone who knows how to build a car moderating a section on fishtanks. It's useful here because most edits are spam, flame or the above, nothing really intelligent or topic-specific.

Because it is an accurate description of what people with the rank do.

The guy who knows how to build a car doesn't need to know anything about fish tanks in order to determine if something is breaking the forum rules.

Sad to see Sway go, congratulations to Tupac and Thee Rash.

Which is what? If you're a global moderator now you only deal with appeals and changing already existing moderation decisions?

Moderation isn't determining who is breaking the rules and who is not. It's also the job of providing a source of information and help towards members. Although like I said, this place is not a true form.

We do general moderation too, but appeals etc are a higher priority for us than moderating.

The name suggests otherwise now. You don't call police officers 'arresters'.
