Nice backup forum. I'll be around today and from time to time. If I don't find the help page I might ask a tech question myself later. Just registering myself for the eventualities to come.

u/Swampranger never established reputation on scores, but went straight to broad board squatting. What was the final count? 25? 30? Other than powermod narrative control, is there any good reason an unknown would do this?
More importantly, is there a good reason for allowing an unknown board squatter to mingle here?
Sorry I didn't see your missed ping. I was going to stop at 50, same as C, but I kept getting invited to co-mod other boards so I count 58 and I'm likely to stop at 60 now. I've built a reputation as mod of Christianity for a year along with C and Perun, and that is humming along quite well; I was invited to be a mod of GAW but declined.
I want to applaud u/admin for putting "no name squatting" in the rules here, because if the Scored admins had implied that was their intent I would have obeyed. Since they made explicit by their actions that name reservation was wide open to the taker, I selected two slates of names and demonstrated intent to populate in good faith, and Perun even personally expressed his trust in my plan and his hope that good communities would drive out bad, in one of my earliest subs. If a community arises that wants some other purpose than the default forum purpose, I can negotiate with them to everyone's satisfaction.
I'm mingling here because I'm looking for the excellence of arete. Truth will prevail and the excellent will see it without petty dispute. I seek to contribute positively to the platform purposes and my contributions so far will reflect that.
