BECOMING STAFF

IDENTIFYING STAFF

All TFUK staff accounts can be identified by the username being prefixed with "TFUK". It is not possible someone who is not forum staff to obtain this prefix.

There are two types of staff accounts.

The first is general staff accounts. These have different purposes, and may be used by multiple staff. You will see them across the forum, and they are:
  • TFUK - The main forum account, used for announcements and sticky threads. Only the forum owner can use this account.
  • TFUK-Anonymised - When content is permanently anonymised, it is moved to this account, mixing it in with all of the other anonymised content.
  • TFUK-Moderated - When content has been moderated, and we need to prevent it from being edited by the author, the content will be moved to this account.
  • TFUK-Replies - When someone uses their right to reply, and does not wish to create a forum account, their reply will be posted from this account.
  • TFUK-Test - A testing account, usually used for testing permissions. You should only very occasionally see content from this account, and can ignore it.
The second is individual staff accounts, like "TFUK-Lewis". Each staff member has one staff account, that no other staff member can use. Only these accounts can be used for community interaction and moderation, because it promotes accountability and transparency. For example, if you received a warning, it would come from an individual staff account, so that you can identify them if you wished to raise a complaint against them.
