I voted NO.

Is that no in your official capacity as BrickLink Catalog Administrator or in
your capacity as therobo, owner of Area of Bricks n' Studs?

Thor

To quote yourself:
you try to make something that is grey into a black and white issue

voted NO as well, as it's usually clear when an Admin expresses his/her personal
opinions, compared to 'official' statements.

actually its not so clear, I've always been of the opinion that a moderator
should only have one opinion, that of the site, not their own.

  Forum moderators are not just forum moderators. They are sellers, buyers, BL
members and AFOLs just like the rest of us. And they have their own personal
opinions on many things, just like the rest of us. However, it is sometimes confusing
to know whether a forum moderator is posting in their official capacity as a
BrickLink forum moderator or in their own personal capacity as a seller, buyer,
member or AFOL. Therefore, I propose having a checbox moderators should check
only if they are posting in their official capacity as a BrickLink forum moderator.
If the box is not checked, then their post can be considered their own opinion
or comment, rather than BrickLink's. Of course, for this to work, we need
a little icon next to their name if this checkbox has been checked.

Come to think of it, this suggestion might equally apply to other BrickLink admins
and sub-admins as well. It would be helpful and will avoid misunderstandings
to know if someone with dual capacity as an official BrickLink representative
and private BL member is posting on behalf of BrickLink or themselves. Among
other things, this may help BrickLink avoid legal issues, such as being held
accountable for the personal comments of its representatives.

Thor

to be honest I think the BL members account and moderator account should be separate,
in other words they would be anonymous they would log under a Moderator account
for moderating and their own account for their own stuff.

  Ok this just might be me, but i'd like to have the ability to duplicate my
wanted lists, so if I have a wanted list and want another or two or so of
the same list for the same project but multiples of i'd like to be able to
make a copy of my list into another wanted list without having to make the list
all over again.

Select Copy below the page.

wheres that? or is that to copy the page on paper?

oh your talking on the edit screen, problem is you still need to transfer each
item individually, I'd like to transfer the whole list in one click and not
hundreds of clicks.

You can select the whole "Move" column at the top of the list, set it to 50 items
per page, then select "copy" on the bottom. That makes about 30 clicks and you
have copied all items.

been doing that still 10 pages at 50 items per page x 5, and already screwed
up and clicked move instead of copy, this way is redundant.

to give you a better understanding of what I mean I have a wanted list which
consists of 23 pages at 20 items per page that I want to make 5 of (yes big projects)
to currently do this I have to do one page at a time and copy them 5 times, so
i'm going to have to click the move all button (all on page) 23 times, move
the scroll from move to copy 23 times and click the new folder 23 times and I
have to do that 5 times, that's a lot of clicking i'm doing right now.
