27 November 2006

Odd. I have been made the admin of a flickr group I don't remember joining.[More:]

Saw this in my flickr mail this morning:
The last administrator of [NSFWish flickr group] has left the group and you have been made into an administrator. This is because you are the longest serving member of the group. Well done :)

I don't remember ever joining this group, though I may have since I join lots of groups related to this particular interest of mine. I've certainly never participated in it.

When I view the members list, it says "You've been a member ... since 25th November, 2006" which is the same day flickr (apparently automatically) made me admin.

Is anybody familiar with this auto-admin "feature"? I don't think I want to be admin, but I don't see any harm in it either.

Odd way to handle things.
Oh, we forgot to tell you, you've also been appointed Emperor Of Siam.

Bring on the pad thai then, and don't skimp on the shrimp!

Sure thing. Here's your scepter and crown. Can I be your secret assassin, or failing that, personal toast chef and pimp?

Sure, if you supply the butter.

Can I import and train an army of Ratufa bicolor?

Yes, we begin bombing in five minutes.

Odd.

I think you should use your new admin powers for evil.

I think you should resign and start the NSFW ex admin group. It'll be interesting to see who else gets joins you.

OK, first evil then ex.

Better that way than the other way round.

If you leave the group it will be removed.

Are you serious, matildaben? It won't just drop to the next "longest serving member"?
posted by danostuporstar 27 November | 14:02
And how does flickr know how the length of my serving member anyway?

they pass the buck so you don't have to!
