You probably didn't understand anything from the title, but I will try to explain. If I want to tell something to all admins and don't want to PM just one, can there be created somekind of thread or something similar where I can send my 'PM'? I thought of this because I don't get response everytime I send a PM to admin.

i think this could turn out a litte difficult, because if everybody starts posting
their admin relating requests into such a topic, this will soon get too complex
to handle.

the best way would be to create a whole admin requests forum, but honestly
i don't think this is necessary.

if admins don't respond to a request via PM it's for a reason - most probably
they lack the time to because they're busy or such...

but hey, that's just my view. the best thing would be the admins speak out
on this themselves...

Only thing I see doing, for ive done this myself. is PM one admin with whatever you wanna say, and add at the end something like, if you are too busy to respond, no need to respond. I'll ask another admin within 2 days, so no worries.

Or something of the sort? I dunno LOL. just a suggestion LOL

I thought something similar what happens when you report someone. When you report someone the message arrives to all admins on their mails. I thought of something like that, but not mail. A place on forum where you will be able to confess your problems to admins.

When you report someone's post, all the mods (I don't know about the admins) receive an e-mail with a link to the post in question and what the reporter wrote.

Just to clarify things up, I am the mod of the Troubleshooting forum and I never ever received a PM about a post report. I don't know if I would receive one if someone would report a post in the Troubleshooting section (which I don't think would happen often) but even so I beleive that's admins authority which prevail in such a case. Mods have nothing to do about this except to moderate that particular forum.

More often than not mods are only users who are particularly present in a certain part of the board and who possess a good sense of judgement over the rules and certain heated debates and who are more likely to act first before an Admin need to lost their time in something which would more likely than not end up a trivial task (like closing dangerous threads or warning users about spam and such). This have seldom to do with any decisive or important actions to be done on the board and thus we, as mods, only represent the competent authority (the admins) but are not one per se.

I think you didn't get my point.

Example: I want to ask Kosta for an FTP account because I have review, game and screenshots. I PM him, but three days later I still didn't get any response.

This is why I suggested this....well this suggestion.

A user account could be created . nick name for instance : alladmins.
And all admins know the password and they can check it out from time to time and they can check if an admin already replyd or not.

Edit : i dont find the idea useful. TOm always answers

Well you should know that are different admins.

Not every forum admin can do the same thing.
While we have the same powers on the forum. Our powers and responsibilies when it comes to the abandonia website are different.

So you can't contact alladmins with requests for ftp accounts.
