DO YOU NEED HELP? Please check out the FAQ!

Moderators

Site moderators (also known as "mods") help maintain select areas of the site, generally making sure that members of the NG community are somewhat polite, and police the site for stolen content.

DO NOT ASK TO BE A MOD! Users who are polite, intelligent and helpful will receive personal invites when the time arises that we need more mods. Asking to be a mod is a quick way to NOT become a mod.

Forum Moderators

For moderators enforce the Forum rules and can lock threads, delete threads, posts, signatures or signature pictures, and ban users. When a user is banned from the forums it only affects his posting privileges; the rest of NG is still accessible.

The Bots

In addition to the human moderators, we have developed several bots who automate many of the tasks that would be too hard for a human to perform on a regular basis. If you are contacted by a bot who isn't on this list, it's a fake.

P-Bot - Picks the daily Flash Portal winners and announces them on the front page every day. Removes unworthy submissions from the site with his BLAM cannon.

A-Bot - Sorts and ranks Audio files submitted to the Audio Portal.

G-Bot - Creates, validates, and ranks user accounts.

M-Bot - Assists site moderators by notifying users of bans and removals regarding forum posts and submission reviews.

I-Bot - Helps users filter and sort Art Portal submissions.
