Somebody set up us the bomb

To survive making their time for great justice, as an emergency measure, Omnimaga staff needs extra zigs to counter the recent upsurge in trolling on the forums (multiple account takeover attempts, ban evasion, a calculator brands war and abuse of the Randomness section), which is probably a side effect of the increasing site popularity due to Ndless, the GB emulators and due to having branched out towards Casio Prizm and FX-9860G development. While the Coders of Tomorrow and team and managers can moderate the forums fine, the majority are offline between 12 AM and 8 AM GMT-5 and exams makes them frequenting the forum less often as well. I also do not perform such tasks anymore normally. This is why, after discussing about it for a while, today we are altering the Non-staff IRC chan-ops to become a forum moderator group as well. Not only all #omnimaga operators will have a certain level of moderator privileges on the forums, but several new members were added to the team as well.
The staff rules that will apply to these people are the moderation ones, which covers how to enforce rules (we have a policy to not delete any post and simply editing illegal content from them, for example, although all spambot posts can be deleted). Hopefully, with the addition of the following members to the new moderator group, when we are on the way to destruction, we should have more zigs... er... banhammers to take off.
Let's congratulate Meishe91, Calcdude84se, Art_of_camelot, Geno, z80man and Xeda112358 for their addition to the purple group and to all people that were already in for the increased privileges!

Good to see this! For my part, I will try to at least idle in IRC more often in case there are any spam attacks.
Congrats of being promoted to all!

I am upset that omni is having problems with trolls and spam and other nefarious activities, but I am glad that measures are being taken to counteract such activities and to prevent them from happening again.

Yeah it was hectic. Sometimes it seems like a conspiracy or something, even if it's not the case, since all the people involved had no relation with each others. Everything just all happened at once and this happened 2 weeks after other incidents.
The good thing, though, is that we also got a lot of new members that are good, though.
That reminds me, now I need to modify the group to add mod privileges
(They'll be the same as what COT had on the old board)

For some reasons I thought it was weird as purple because COT is green and managers blue, so purple looked like it was higher than admin.
Now it's a color similar to what COT had on the other forums.
