unapproved admins of my FAQI just got to looking at my FAQ (time for some major updating!) and noticed there are two users who are listed as admins that I've never approved nor know. dbmaven & swintec are the users. Why were they added? |

Which FAQ is it? Perhaps it's a subset of a larger FAQ that they manage and the permissions were inherited? |

Have you given dbmaven an IM asking why? |

No, I haven't yet. I thought only mods could add people to the FAQs, in which case there appears to have been a mess up. |

DBMaven (mod of filesharing forum) added me to the Usenet / Newsgroups FAQ several months ago. I am not sure if he needed to add himself to all of them before he could add me or how that back end stuff works. I know I got permission for all of the FAQs for the filesharing forum as a side effect, I just ignore the ones I don't know anything about. Maybe he made an innocent mistake I guess. |

said by swintec: Maybe he made an innocent mistake I guess. sounds like it. Would a mod please undo the changes and only have myself as he DC++ FAQ admin again? I personally requested eMtee added, but his services are no longer required. |

I'm one of the the hosts of the forum with which that FAQ is associated. » Filesharing SoftwareI can't recall having made any changes to that FAQ and am certainly glad that you feel ownership of it and want to maintain it regularly. I don't see where having "multiple alternates" - consider it an "in case of emergency" situation - is causing any harm or problems. Perhaps I'm missing something ? |
