You know,
You can always ask Jeff ( jaie ) too. I wrote to ask Phil when I wasn't always around.
But now that I am, he isn't
( odd how it works like that ).
What we ask is.... Besides what the great Pyro mentioned above:
1) no more than 3 Mods per topic
2) someone that is active ( a lot )
3) knowledge is always best
4) moving topics that don't belong
5) making sure that everyone plays nice
6) probably most importantly ( besides the knowledge ) is not bieng biasis. Being as neutral as possible and doing what is right for this community. That means, not getting mad at others for asking questions that have been asked before. Showing people the way. And if you are having a 'bad day' not taking it out on others ( or the board )
The moderators have the power to do a lot of things. But if something isn't right, contacting Phil or Myself is at the top of the priority list.
Deleting profane or insulting stuff ( but copying it and then sending it to us so we can see it )
Remember that we have many school kids here and arguing and bad language is not cool. For the memebers and for the people that haven't become a memeber yet.
We ask a lot from the people that are to be Moderators and everyone that is, is for a reason and have done a GREAT JOB!!
As time goes by, we look at people, then we contact them to ask them.
But also knowing who would like to be one helps out and you will be kept in mind.
