just out of curiosity.. what put you in the position to assume that the changing of the CS logo was under our power? i'm a moderator, and i can tell you right now that i know i wouldn't have the power to change such a HUGE thing on this site. i mean after all, he's ONLY the logo that the ENTIRE XS site uses, not to mention tons of affliates, and everything else.. such a thing would be like going on to gamespot.com, and PMing an admin telling him that you'll make him a new logo for the site.
I don't know where people get their ideas but I get asked all the time to change things that are WAY beyond the scope of my power as a lowly head moderator

For future reference moderators can manage posts in the forums (move, merge, edit, delete, pin, etc.) as well as manage user profiles (warn, edit [stuff like sigs and avas], mute, suspend)
The only thing that separates a Head Moderator from a Moderator is the Head mod can do thoes things anywhere in the forums, but a Moderator can only do them in certain specified forums...
we can't unban people
we can't change your username
we can't reset your password
we can't start a contest
we can't accecpt donations for XS
we can't put your tutorial on the tutorial page
we can't put your news on the news page
we can't make new forums
we can't fix spelling errors in forum titles
we can't fix software or server problems with the site
we can't re-enable the search engine
and we certainly can't change the forum's graphcis
That's pretty much it... we have the task of making sure stickies are up to date, deleting spam and warning people to stop flaming or sharing warez. Some days if there's a huge flame war in a popular thread or a ton of spam it can be like a job, you dread having to do it but it's what you signed up for and your only payment is the satisfaction that you're helping keep this site, that we all know and love, clean.
