Question

There is a such thing called the Moderator Group? Which i have not even joined?

Answer 1

I was refreshing my page because the chat had eaten my comment. So when i refreshed i got this "You have been kicked from Moderator Group". I was so confused. There is a moderator group??! And who kicked me!?

Answer 2

Hi, KC.
I had asked Colm once about this.

He says that it's a group that the mods used to communicate with each other(they don't use it any more).

This group is private and kicks the people who are not moderators so that the secret info doesn't reach out.

Hope that helps,
Parth.

Answer 3

But i never even joined it!!

Answer 4

They don't use it any more.

Answer 5

Must be a simple bug, that's it.

Answer 6

As I said, just the same happened to me and hence I asked Colm.

Answer 7

Probably. Idk who kicked me lol

Answer 8

No, it kicks you automatically.

Answer 9

O.o woah

Answer 10

Unless it was Sparta.

Answer 11

Who be sparta? the greek peepl?

Answer 12

There was a group on OpenStudy. But the tech wizards couldn't find a way to make it private - it was still accessible through the mods profiles. So it was disbanded.

Answer 13

^ What she said. Although the code to auto-kick people is still in place. So if you click a link to a question in that group or do something else that would cause you to join it without being a mod, the system boots you.

Answer 14

lol i just refreshed my page and up came that kicking.

Answer 15

..... lovely.

Answer 16

Yeah, so I'm not sure why you're seeing that. You're not a member of the group...

Answer 17

Well of course i am not. Haha is this a bug?

Answer 18

Probably. I'm filing it as such.

Answer 19

Try logging out and back in.

Answer 20

ok..but y log out?

Answer 21

Because logging out and logging back in resets your session on the server. I need to know if that fixes the problem because it gives us a clue as to where to look for the bug.

Answer 22

oh i see.
