Operating System (OS and version): Ubuntu 14.04 OpenBazaar version (shown on About OpenBazaar page in menu): 1.1.6.deb file

Hardware: HP 4gb ram mini pc

Reproducible (Always / Almost Always / Sometimes / Rarely / Couldn't Reproduce): Sporadic, two users have reported the issue affecting a total of two moderators.

Preconditions: Both mods online and have moderation enabled.

Steps to reproduce:

1a. On moderator page, press "add as moderator" button.

1b, Go to settings and paste the GUID of the moderator, press save and wait untill confirmed saved.

Observed Behavior:

a. Button changes color lightly as being selected and turns into the little clock and stays there. UI does not update to "following" and stays on the clock. Manual updated of page shows the option "add as moderator" but pressing the button again, which now make the button go to the selected color and stays on "add as moderator"

b. Moderator does not show in selected. page update also shows nothing else.

Expected Behavior:

a. Button changes to "Following"

b. moderator is shown in settings.

I confirm this bug, my node can not get chosen as moderator by 2 other nodes and I can not add a new moderator by clicking the button or by manually adding the GUID, but by choosing from the moderator list.

Can you paste the addresses to your nodes?

So far I have been unable to replicate this issue. It may be specific to your nodes or your server setup.

I'm seeing this as well. I can't add ob://@JustinTime/about as a moderator

@hoffmabc commented on Mon Jun 27 2016

API returns success:true but it is not added to the list of moderators.

I'm able to add justintime as a moderator normally.

You're sure you're on the latest master for the server and client?

I am on the latest server and client and I can't, as said, add a moderator (only by selecting from the list) or get added by others.

I can confirm that it's not possible to add c485bd9861dd2e9f896c21bae5af868abca55eff (@tyggrr) as a moderator.

The guid is sent correctly to the API, but the server doesn't add it, and the GET call to settings doesn't have that user as a new moderator.

Other guids work normally.

This appears to be a server issue, I'm moving it to that repo.

Confirmed here too: Can not add as moderator by clicking in GUI or by pasting GUID into settings field and clicking save. For me it's Bazaarguard I can't add this way. I tried "following" bazaarguard to see if that gets it into the settings list (nope). I am able to add moderators that show up in the settings list.

Client Version 1.1.7 on OSX 10.10.5 Server is running on a remote raspberry pi (Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie)) OpenBazaar-Server v0.2.1 my GUID: 777011388d57da2b6c964c1844eecc5cb075d66d

Confirmed here too, also with BazaarGuard and OBCentral.. Worked with some others

[artiomchi]

Interesting note - Both BazaarGuard and OBCentral have a legacy format profile on BlockStack, while MarioDian (managed to add him as a moderator) has an upgraded profile. Could that be related?

Another mod with a legacy profile: tyggrr with guid c485bd9861dd2e9f896c21bae5af868abca55eff

Then again, pinheadmz has a new format profile, but I couldn't add him as a mod.. So could be that it's unrelated

I have the same problem on ubuntu 15.04
