Oh no, don't retire, Billy :(

Recently the mods were given the power to remove posts. However they can't give you a warning or ban you. They can only review reports and propose player for a warning / suspension however only the admins can warn / suspend you.

On the advice of counsel, I invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination and respectfully decline to respond to your assertion or else some hater mod will delete my comment and probably try to get me banned from playing the game.

Norman, the moderators have had the right to delete posts for a long.. long time.
I'm fairly certain they had it back in 2011

@ Perrin, well Fizzer has always been able to delete posts. But it is only recently that some mods were given that power too. Or at least I think so, given that admin delete button was broken when it first appeared and that button is new:) Also not all mods can delete posts. And I think Fizzer is the only one to give the final verdict on reports.

PS Since terminology is thrown around, I am not an admin the site, even though I can use admin delete button.

Tbest, I know moderators that were not fizzer that could delete posts and threads, as well as move threads between forums.
this was back when Fizzer was first implementing moderators *afaik* so I had assumed that all moderators would receive the same powers.

Well all I know 100% is that not all mod's have the same powers. Only Fizzer knows for sure who can do what though. Although I can speculate I am still in the dark when it comes to how the mod system works and has worked:)

Sorry for the deleted post. I had a look at it and I agree it shouldn't have been deleted. I will talk with the mod who did it to ensure it doesn't happen again.

^That was the deleted post ?! A mod is truly against you, eh

@Perrin Yeah he has solid control. I didn't know He could see deleted posts for example. *starts panicking* {i have tried to subtly test that many times, think one of my own deleted posts from a mail thread straight up askt if he could see them}

Anyway although the system is good from Fizzer's point of view, it really would be better for us players if we knew more about it.

Ya I don't get that at all. If anything I was complimenting the guy. I wouldn't declare myself the best player after beating a noob or somebody who sucked.

So you can actually kind of get past the problem of a lot of really good players (on the ladders, at least) not being around at the same time. If you can find a decent number of players that remained at a roughly constant skill level (not to be confused with a roughly constant rating or ranking) and played on the ladder for long stretches that generally overlap with the players you're trying to compare, you can adjust for changes in the relative difficulty of the ladder by using them as an index and just recalibrate historical ratings to make them comparable.

Suppose you wanted to compare 3 players that played entirely non-concurrently- you could have a basket of, say, 5-10 players who were around for long stretches and played concurrently with the 3 you measured and remained consistent in terms of actual skill (so their official rating fluctuated- increasing when ratings in general got inflated, decreasing during periods of deflation), you can just compare the 3 you're trying to measure to your index/basket and generate averaged rating estimates by treating the basket as a baseline. Then, in terms of absolute skill, you can now create some sort of comparison between, say, Buns and some of the original [20] players.

Or, of course, you can also just recalibrate Buns' rating in terms of an older ladder pool by having Buns play a good number of matches against several players from that timeframe, using them to generate Elo differences, averaging them, and figuring out what Buns' ladder rating would've been during that timeframe (assuming, of course, that the players you're measuring Buns against haven't significantly improved or gotten worse than their heyday- which is a huge assumption).
