Question What's a "supermod"?

Sorry if this seems like a n00bish question, but we didn't have 'em in my day.

A moderator who has power in all or many forums, but not admin powers to ban people.

aka Global Mods, Supermods are board-wide Moderators, so their powers are active in every forum, instead of assigned to one. They are well trusted and respected members of the forum. Glad you asked.

I thought that they were just mods with radioactive blood.

No, that'd be Radioactive Mods.

They would probably be dangerous to hang around with.

On the plus side, they're good when you're under attack by Radioactive trolls.

I've had to fight them before.

Sometimes, even the best Iron Man impression can't get rid of them.

What is this madness? Your emoticon says everything is fine, but your post emanates hatred and disgust.

You must be some kind of woman.

Mods of their own individual forums are there because they are more active in their specific forums - they are the ones likely to see what happens within their forum first, and thus deal with it accordingly.

Several times, that specific mod of a certain forum just happens to be a Supermod, giving off the impression that they are the ones who do all the work, when really they are just doing their job in their own forum. Some mods, like S1x and Crav, have other jobs in addition to modding their own forum (for instance, they are in charge of the RPG's creation/maintenance).

I'm going to add that when I know that a specific individual forum mod is presently online and browsing the forum, I tend to let them decide what to do about locking topics/deeting posts/changing titles and whatnot. The only real exception to this is Misc., but since it's so huge and things like WoT go so fast, I don't think anyone really minds. And Zelda Mafia, since I actively play it and thus it's just easiest for me to take care of it.
