First thing to do as an admin

webmaster's picture

I strongly encourage any admin to make a special admin-profile, used only to do admin-tasks. And keep using the normal profile for the usual user-postings.

(Actually I demand it) This way we make sure all works well for everybody (that you not by accident make some changes and think everything is cool - only for everybody else, not logged in as admins things are not so cool). Also, you will not have all the extra menus etc.

Node Admin

To this end, I have made myself (BaseOverApex) a "Node Admin" (basically, editorial rights to everything including the shoutbox) and created a new account (BOAadmin) for my other self, which has the full Godlike rights. I intend to rarely login as my admin self at all in case I get "finger trouble" one day.
