Best Answer: By locking the post, and then posting in it
It's not power abuse if you're taking out the trash.

@Vulpes Abnocto - what I mean by that is if you're no longer a site staff, the why do you still get staff powers? Is it something seperate?
We come back and assist when we have time or the need arises.
The staff powers are more limited, but we can solve smaller problems such as the proliferation of unfunny April Fools threads.

it's not even just staff that like to abuse,it is a large percentage of the member base. People seem to think by acting like assholes they will be promoted to staff and it just doesn't work like that.
@CeeDee - Late reply but better late than never.
I think it's better to think of "former staff" as "inactive staff".
In my case I'm not online often enough to be considered active, but when I am online - there's no harm in me being able to step in.
This is something that I requested, so I would think that this isn't something all former staff can do (moderate).

You have a problem with former staff having modship powers? Just because they have lives and don't necessarily have the time to moderate on a daily basis doesn't mean that they’re incapable to do so when they see threads that go against the rules of conduct. You should be more concerned with posting threads that don't have to get locked than with who locks them. I'm not a mod either and I'll happily close threads that are against the rules board - it's not abuse of power. It would be abuse of power if a thread got locked for an arbitrary reason.

I really don't have an issue with it anymore, especially considering how old the question is. I was just confused at the time why users titled "former staff" still had staff abilities.

Most former staff members retain all of the powers and tools that they had as staff members. They are basically inactive staff members, but can still be called upon to help the current staff.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -
@
SylverReZ:
They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
