Thank you. This is very needed.

There's a "PM Authors" button? I havn't seen any.

Very well done. Hopefully this will help new users.

I've updated the post with "PM All" links so you don't have to hunt it down on the guides pages.

That "PM all mods" will come in handy...

PM All feature is pretty nifty, albeit individuals ones would be nice too. o_o

Hopefully this will stop the string of new users who refuse to read up on the rules.

This is good to have.

Nice.

Very well needed. Thanks!

Good stuff, Good stuff
 
This is sure to help new users.

Thanks y'all. Very clear.

About time we have something like this.     This is a great addition though.  I hope all the new members check this out.
 
EDIT:  I just thought of something.  Why don't we have mods that are both forum and wiki mods?  I noticed over at AnimeVice they have 5 mods that do both.  Is there a reason for not having mods that can do both or, do you guys just don't want to?

this is great, thanks. this will be very handy for our new users, especially the "PM all' 

Very helpful for the new users!

Nice job, much needed.
I kind of wish though that the moderators(WHO ARE ALL FUCKING AWESOME) would sometimes be quicker in locking down certain threads, espeically in recent days the "What does your shit smell like," or "My girlfriend does not want to have sex," threads.

" @Hamz: However, on your forum rules, you state,"Blog posts are subject to all of the above."  This is certainly true but doesn't this only apply to blogs posted on the forums? For instance, I know you shouldn't have any form of discriminatory or hateful material anywhere but you are allowed to do a "spam" of sorts, that is linking other material without commentary without any form of consequence. I am accurate with at least some of what I am saying, right? "

Have these always been the forum rules?

Pft, restrictions and rules are for chumps! Skip school, disregard the rules, and do drugs! That's what the kool kids like Jayge and I do!
 
E-flex.
 
Silly socialistic moderators!

This is awesome. Good stuff.

someone should redo those jpgs they look pretty terrible

Fixed the PM All link - looks like the devs missed a few things in the update.

I'm just commenting to put this on the front page in case anyone is joining and they are to lazy to click on the Forum link. 

Is there a new moderator yet? The New Moderator thread was unstickied.
