Traffic is getting bigger here and new member joining every day. While I really enjoy it, it is time to move to the next level and thank many others that came to help and participate on new Overgrow.
I’d like to welcome new moderators on the board!
@Blowingupjake

@Zedy
Thanks guys that you accepted the responsibility …

Congratulations and thank you for your effort here! It is great to see that you really care about OG!
What Leader can do is listed here. I would now like to summarize what Moderators can and can’t do. Besides the following list, they have the same powers as Leaders.
Moderators can do
- Rename users, topics
- Move topics between categories
- Resolve flagged posts and topics
Moderators can’t do
- see user e-mails
- see IP addresses
- access other’s private messages
On the serious note:
MODs don’t have access to private info about members nor private messages. In addition to that, we are also not logging IP addresses and removing metadata from your photos automatically.
That is guaranteed.
But there is still one person that has access to the whole database - that is admin (me). So I would like to urge members not to keep any sensitive data in their PMs. While I’m doing my best to secure the site and protect your privacy, it is not a vault. Please delete any personal info from your PMs after use, and don’t store it there for longer time than needed. There are also specialized secure communication channels, which OG cannot replace.
Also, all moderator’s actions are logged for security purposes (in case any of their user account is hacked).
I’m saying that just because I’d like to be as transparent and open as possible, and to warn you about possible risks. We are still a public website, not dark net operated site.
End of serious announcement Thank you all for your support and concern! I really appreciate it and your endeavor is binding for me to develop the site even more and create new features to make Overgrow even better again!
