Anyone ever had a problem with people who are obsessed about taking over your group? I just had my first one: I promoted a dude to forum mod and then what I see is that he has blacklisted my staff and tries to blacklist the founder! The next day things are normal and the guy was kicked out. That was a frightening experience!

Well, gents, welcome to System Administration, lite.

Certain Group settings definitely allow Full-Control users enough rope to hang themselves. I'd be really careful about that.

Yeah, I had this guy called "slosh" or something, and he constantly begged to be a mod, then admin, then get full control. So I did what he said, and suddenly he kicks out like 100 members, and make the whole group inactive... Yeah, you guys watch out for him, he's not good news for anyone.

Ok, I'll watch out for this Slosh man, but it was Snipe124 I had problems with. He's got some problems, goes to groups, gets mod powers and makes life not worth living. He also mentioned a guy he was taking ideas from, but 'cause I kicked him out, I don't remeber the name. Soemthing with an I in the front.

It's very difficult to post in a thread stosh has already posted in. If there's a way to bring an awkward silence to the internet, stosh's avatar is the key.

Anyhow, why are you giving total strangers that much power in your group anyhow? Trust should be earned, not given freely. It'd be nice if one could just ask for a team of mods and get that team without worry of some jerk ruining it for everyone, but that's not the case.

I advise being very careful about who you give powers to. If some guy comes out of nowhere and asks to be a mod, I wouldn't consider giving him any abilities.

I'm extremely careful with who I give privileges to.
Can you really ever trust anyone?

The answer's no.

Yeah, after that dude tried to take over my group, I have become more paranoid. Can you reall trust someone you have never met? Someone you have only chatted with text? There are different people, some who you can trust. But you know, some sneaky little.. um.. people, might act out nice in the beginning, then in the end they send you this message saying "I am the master now" and then you cry for help, but no one will come. What a nasty end for a group founder.

I have noticed that a huge slice of those that come here are Americans. I am probably the most succesful dude from my country, though I haven't really seen anyone else from there here, so I ca't really say. Anyway, what I am saying is that if I would have my next door neighbour come here, someone who I have know since babyhood, then I would trust him. Then I could have a 2nd Admin in my group. But those people from a place with no other user online ever are in a worse position 'cause they have to trust people from the other side of the world.
