If you need to know who else is MOD, please check our Team page by clicking HERE.
The Admin Toolbox
The Admin Toolbox can be found by clicking on the new Mainmenu item that appears when you are promoted as MOD. If it doesnt appear instantly, please refresh the page via STRG+F5 or just login/logout on TheGrid.
A lot of stuff can be done here. Adding regions to countries, verifying new users, validate special achievements, edit user details, edit stats, add events, etc. - so, just get used to it, and feel free to ask any GlobalMod if you have any questions.
Regioneditor
Here you can add missing regions in your country, or maintain existing regions.
Lookup your country and then click on “OPEN” to get access to it.
Events
If there is a new MissionDay, NL-Event, Anomaly in your Country. you can add it here. Please only add events that have already taken place. After its added here, user can lookup the event and add it to their profile. PLEASE CHECK if the event wasnt created already from another CountryMod!
First select the event series, like Recursion, then add the City to it.
Validate
All applications for special Achievements like Leader, FrogFarmKiller, etc.
Please only approve the Achivements that have a nice Text & make sence. If someone applys for “FrogFarmkiller” and only has “20 Resos destroyed” something is fake :)
IMPORTANT: Swamp Cleaner must be rejected if the agent isnt from Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark or Brasil.
Please read here for details about the special achievements: https://faq.the-grid.org/sp
Useradmin
Codename can be changed if the Agent did a name change on Ingress. Be aware, thats the loginname. If you changed it, tell it to the user please. (Google-Login isnt effected by it)
BAN: Activate the checkmark, then the user cant login anymore. Please report to a Global Mod to delete the user (if necessary).
DELETE: GlobalMod only
CLEAR FROM TOPLISTS: GlobalMod only
The Cogwheel
The Cogwheel can be accessed on the right top side of every log. There are several options that can help you to validate stuff or feature / edit the entry.
Log-Features on TheGrid
Feature “Globally” is limited to Global Mods
All Mod can feature posts in their own country and even down to the city/region of the user that wrote the post.
Why and what Posts will be Featured?
Features are the front of the Grid and it is partially localized, partially global. Comments on features should therefore be written in English. No need for lots of features, always choose quality over quantity.
Features are usually
- Sitreps from bigger operations
- Impressive accomplishments by a single Agent (L16, Unusual Onyx Medals (not Specops, Trekker or Guardian))
- Anomaly reports with a good text and/or good photos attached
- Other updates that has a strong news value or great story/photos
