Sufficent Self Moderators

I think that's a great idea too!!

And as far as "getting to know the ropes" Nifty, why don't you ask us which of us have had experience moderating forums before? You might find someone who knows how to move the posts, etc. already and you won't have a whole lot of trouble training them

Reinbow is a moderator for easygarden, she knows the ropes.

With the exception of the inability to merge threads, this software is basically the same to moderate as any other. I moderate a Simple Machines forum, a V-Bulletin forum and am an admistrator on an IP.Board based forum. They're all pretty much the same, only different

O ok that's cool. Ive only moderated that type forums so never seen the secret side of any other forums.

I don't think we need a moderator at this point in time. We are pretty civil towards each other and the very few times things started to get heated they were quickly resolved. The forum is still small enough that threads needing to be moved is not a big issue.

I think as the forum grows there will be a need for moderators though. Now might be a good time to start looking at potential candidates.

Well Ann, looks like you got drafted by the members into being a moderator, so... um... congrats I think!?



Ann has been really helpful over at TEG and does know the ropes. Let's have her help out over here and we'll see how it goes.

Again, at this point it is more for help with admin stuff than breaking up brawls... so let's keep it that way!

Drafted - I thought there was no longer a draft?

No, it's an all volunteer army, isn't it? I'm happy to do it, and, as Nifty said, since we're all behaving so nicely all it will be is spam removal, name changes and keeping threads in the right place, right?
