In addition to seraphina_snape's suggestion of a backup mod, I think I sent you a PM about this but why don't you just create a Lighthouse mod user that all guest hosts can log in as, so that they can update the challenge list and such? Then if you are missing, or busy, then it's up to the mod of the week to update said information because I agree with seraphina_snape that it's difficult coming on and essentially having to scroll through pages to find active challenges. Which for me basically, I just scroll until I find a date that has passed. Which basically means I'm missing challenges. This idea means you'd have to repost things under that new member but it would make things easier for those that are just measly members, like me.
Question: I have no desire to be a mod for a week because I run my own community, all by myself but is there a post somewhere where I could essentially suggest challenges for those that are running challenges week to week? Then mods each week could pull from the suggestions made? Does something like that exist here?
I need to look into your first suggestion. I was like, ooooooooo. As to the question, neaptidea asked too and I thought I put up a post. I did put up a post about ways to track the challenges for now, until better ideas come forth https://lighthouse-the.livejournal.com/88778.html
Yeah, just relooked. I put up a suggestion/comment post on the sidebar, but I could probably reword it so that it's clearer for ideas. And also pimp it more.
I think it should be possible because everything that someone can do on a community is based on their access right? So if you had a 'member' named Lighthouse Mod or Guest Host that was essentially the thing that kept everything updated, then you'd just need to give passwords to the guest mods. Then you could have a 'challenge list' and any guest host would be able to update it. The problem with LJ is that multiple people can't update one post, but if you had a fake member that guest hosts could use, then it wouldn't matter who was the mod because they would be able to log in and update the information. I do think though that guest hosts would still want to post their challenges as themselves because then the emails to questions would go to them, but for updating posts and stuff on the community, it would make it easier

On my phone, a + shows up that I can click to get the sidebar. I also have the option of changing the mobile format to be the same as the desktop format. Do you think that would be better?
How about making open and closed tags? Then be sure to change them when you edit the post? Or include when it's open or closed just incase the tags weren't updated in the post that is in big lettering or something?
Also, are there sigtag shops or will there be? I enjoy making sigtags for members no matter what team they are on. :)
Please see the change I made to tags on the main page. If that is what you are looking for, I will work on organizing them better this weekend. Thanks!

The open and closed might be a good idea. I will be working on the tags this weekend.
