Look, you’re posting a link to the webpage instead of just embedding the image itself. I feel like I’ve already mentioned this before—not sure if you were paying attention, but it makes things way harder for everyone else.

No problem.

Only if you happen to stumble upon some cardboard scrap. Otherwise, not really.

It’s not just about checking an IP address. If you actually have two different people operating under the same IP, it’s going to be obvious eventually.

There’s always a shot in the dark...

Sent you a DM. That’s all I can do for now.

Sticky threads exist for a reason, Alexander Thompson3. Click here.

That’s not even accurate—mostly because a whole bunch of people had their post counters "temporarily" reset.

Sean Mitchell4 said:So, this "boss" Anderson, huh? Give me a break. ovo Is that actually his account?

Yeah.

Sean Mitchell4 said:So, I was scrolling through the threads earlier and it got me thinking—why do some mods have that blue highlight next to their names while others don't? I mean, they’re all moderators regardless, right? Take Desiree, for example. She’s clearly running the show, but her name doesn't carry that specific blue tag like some of the others. Is there actually some kind of logic behind the color coding, or is it just one of those arbitrary things where the UI looks different for no reason? Does anyone actually know the deal with this? 🤷

Blue is just your average Joe—just another guy hanging out on Reddit with zero authority to his name. As for Desiree, she’s an ex-admin.

Sean Mitchell4 said:So, does the "admin" actually have some kind of special powers over their own account that nobody else touches—since, you know, they're essentially the big boss around here? 🤷

Yeah.

Steven Allen9 said:Yeah, I am... but there's nobody home.

If there's anyone else holding down a moderator spot around here, maybe try reaching out to them instead.

Sean Mitchell4 said:So, how does one actually become a supermod or an admin?

It’s usually about being around here forever—staying active across most of the subreddits, doing a solid job as a moderator, and actually knowing the other mods and admins...

Sean Mitchell4 said:What’s the actual difference between them, me, and you?

It comes down to authority. A moderator handles their specific subreddits. A supermoderator can moderate the entire Reddit site and they're basically the direct boss of the regular mods. Then you have the administrators—they don't usually spend much time moderating posts; instead, they handle the backend stuff (depending on which admin we're talking about), like overseeing the moderators, dealing with angry users, technical support, site maintenance, and all that.

Sean Mitchell4 said:Why are some people "super" while most of the other "regular" mods aren't?

Supermoderators are also known as global moderators because of what I just mentioned.

Sean Mitchell4 said:And how do you become an admin, and what is their exact role on the site?

New admins are brought on as needed, typically pulled from the ranks of supermoderators or the most well-known, versatile moderators.

Sean Mitchell4 said:Thanks, 🙂

Don't mention it. 🙂

boldwalker16, you're posting a link to the webpage instead of the actual image.

It’ll take you all of two seconds... just reach out to the moderator for that subforum.

Did you seriously put this together in Portland? 🍿

It’s probably just your browser blocking a pop-up window.

Then what’s even the point of the QUICK REPLY button?
Am I just asking too many questions or something? 🙄

Most people don't really need to click on Smileys anyway—they already know the shortcuts by heart. For instance, 👍 is 🔝, ☕ is :coffee:, and so on.

Donna Rogers88 said:It’s like this:
I type out my message in the Quick Reply box, click on the Smiley icon—which is right there under the Rule of engagement down on the bottom left—and a whole page of icons pops up. I pick one, click it, and... nothing. Absolutely nothing happens.

BB code is ON
Smileys are ON
IMG code is ON
HTML code is Not applicable

At least, that's what it shows in the Rule of engagement.

Thanks in advance for the help!

😁

You aren't actually clicking a link called Smiley located under the Rule of engagement; you have to hit Reply first to get to the actual selection menu. If you're just using the "Quick Reply" feature, you'll have to manually type in the smiley code. To actually click them visually, you need to be in the full "Post Reply" mode—basically, you have to click on or .

It looks like you might be trying to drop raw HTML code in here. If you're just copying and pasting, you’ve got to wrap that link in (image). Otherwise, the system won't recognize it. You can either manually add those IMG tags yourself, or just use the "Insert Image" button on Reddit to make things easier.

I honestly don't get why you're acting surprised—you're just slapping a link across the entire page instead of using an actual image.

It opens up just fine for me, no extra plugins or anything required. Honestly, there's a chance that poll is just glitching out on you. Maybe try scrolling all the way to the right first, then do a full pass from top to bottom—it might help you spot whatever's causing the page to stretch weirdly.
Also, you didn't mention what resolution you're running.
