I think what seems to be missing is the description of what global curators
should do and what they should *not* do. This is the first time to my knowledge
that an instance like this has happened (where one curator has overwritten
another curator against their wishes), and maybe I was too hasty in my actions.
I was told going in that I was given this ability to make things look a little
nicer when possible, which would include things like giving content to
non-curatored groups and fixing stale ones. So, at first glance, I saw images
that appeared to be 404 errors, and was going to see if I could fix the links.
And I think that was well within whatever bounds were set for me. When I
noticed that the pages were explicitly set to the 404-image, and noted that it
was done only to Eric Sophie's posts, I became quite suspicious of the
situation.
Perhaps given that the page was explicitly set to be something incorrect, I
should have gone through the admin channels I would normally go through before
changing site content (probably contacting both you and Rene, since you were on
record as having made the change). And I think that's probably how I'll handle
it going forward with sidebar content, unless it's an extreme example of porn or
profanity or the like. Or unless I hear otherwise.
Anyway, I agree that there's no good set of rules layed out for my sort of
position. I'm sort of like a 2nd-string-backup-admin or something.

Hm. It's an issue that I don't show up on the curators page:
http://news.lugnet.com/admin/curators/curators.cgi
Although-- this seems a bit strange anyway. It's not showing any of the global
curators, and it still shows Todd & Suzanne as curators of the admin sidebar,
which (while probably true) shouldn't be.
I think initially Todd & Suzanne were the only ones with global curatorship, and
they probably wanted to be *off* the list as curators of un-owned groups so that
they didn't get bogged with more email. But that's just a guess.
As for my name (and a scant few others) showing up on the lugnet.admin sidebar,
I dunno. I wouldn't mind my name being on the list, but I think it might give
the wrong impression if I were merely added to the list as-is. I wouldn't want
to give the impression that I was a fully-fledged admin, because I'm not. I'm
not the person to go to about site administration, policy changes, or whatever.
If there's a problem, I might be able to help you, but maybe not. But I'm
certainly not one of the go-to-guys.

| (...) No point now - I was going to put it back anyway, probably later today. I still think it would be good to clarify your position WRT changing content, and add your email to the admin sidebar (and anyone else who has similar access). ROSCO (17 years ago, 12-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general)
