Admins Question Thread
Pretty self-explanatory, for when you have a question for the Admins.
I was looking through the Ultimate Guide to the CB, and it says people ask the admins questions "frequently related to blue moon ice cream."
What does that mean?
One of the older admins told a story about Blue Moon ice cream a while back and it became something of a meme: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/downtoearth/node/441247. --admin

@Admins--
a question that I've been meaning to ask for a while but haven't gotten around to:
Aside from curating the CB, what else does your job entail?
All three Admins do many other things in the editorial department of Cricket Media, working on several of its magazines. Reading, reviewing, selecting, editing, proofing, etc.

@Admins--
Wait a sec... If you work in the editorial department and do editing, that means you are editors, yes? And as we learned in the most recent cricket country issue, all the editors are adorable pussywillows! So does that mean that all of you admins are pussywillows?
We'll never mew-tell. --admin

I am at a loss at how to post pictures. Help please?
Beneath the text window, click on My Art, then Browse. I think that will help you. Maybe another CBer can give you more details.

@Admins
Would it ever be possible for Cricket to have a pride-themed magazine during June (pride month) (or October--pride history month)? You guys might not have any control over that, but is it possible you could pass on that suggestion to somebody who does?
Our readers' comments are important to us, Scuttles, and we'll pass your request on to the editors.

That would be so fun!

Erm, @Admins, I asked a question on this thread almost 24 hours ago and it still hasn't shown up yet. Comments from only a few hours ago have been posted, but this one hasn't. The question was about the possiblity of a pride-themed cricket issue.
You comment is up now, Scuttles. Thanks for checking. - Admin

So Admins, explain this to me: how is it so that you post and allow comments that are LGBTQ+ supporting, but you don't post comments that speak of Christianity? Doesn't that seem a little backwards, that you don't allow people of a certain belief to post things of their certain belief, but you allow a different one to?
I think you should allow such messages. I'm not saying that you should allow everyone to start preaching like crazy, but simply let everyone have a chance to speak their worldview.
And please answer. This is a question that deserves an answer, whether you leave it up on the site or not.
they follow our general guidelines and contribute to the friendly and
positive tone of the CB.
We've posted many comments that speak of Christianity and other religions—e.g., regarding holidays and family traditions.
also strive to
cultivate a supportive environment whenever kids voice personal concerns
or feel troubled. We think that the support and encouragement CBers
offer each other is a praiseworthy
aspect of the forum.

A couple days ago, I tried to start a thread on DtE, and I haven't seen it yet. I'm kind of confused.
It may have gone to a back page. Look there. Or feel free to resubmit it.

@Admins, if I submitted a story for the Cricket League contest, would it matter if its grammar wasn't always correct if it was narrated by a sailor or another character whose grammar would characteristically be imperfect?
No, we love reading lots of different grammatical styles. Happy writing! --admin

My ski lodge isn't here. I think I posted it a couple of days ago.
@Admins, everything ok on your end?
It's possible it hasn't been topped yet? We've approved everything from the last few days, to my knowledge. --admin
(April 10, 2023 - 12:44 pm)
Okay.
(April 11, 2023 - 11:16 am)
@Admins - In quite a few ski lodges (both past and present), I've seen them say things like "the popcorn is not free" or "the popcorn is not for you" or "all popcorn-making supplies will be coniscated upon entry." Do you know if this is some kind of CB ski lodge easter egg or joke? And if so, do you know where it originated from?
No. I know nothing more about it than you do. Sorry.

Dear Admins,
I have a question! Do Admins have any superpowers or that sort of stuff? (And do Admin perms count?)
Signed,
@Ayles
No. We do not have superpowers. We're just ordinary people. And I don't know what you mean by "Admin perms."

@Admins -
Did the little illustrations of Cricket and Ladybug in the little yellow footer at the bottom of all the CB pages change recently? 'Cause I remember they used to be something about buried treasure but now they have something to do with Ladybug running a marathon.
I think they're changing all the time, but I'm not sure. I don't check them regularly.
