If you're reading this, I'd like to say thank you.
I've asked a few of the forum users to help out with some of the not so glamorous tasks that keep the forum running smoothly for the rest of the members. If you're here, then I've picked you because you've shown yourself to be someone who's worked to improve the forum already.
I've spoken with Chad about doing this moderation thing a little differently. I don't want the task of moderation to become a life sentence burden. So I'll only be asking you to work as moderators for a set duration. I haven't set a time limit yet, but I was thinking a matter of a few months at a time. If you are still interested in helping with this, we will likely ask you to do another rotation, hopefully after giving you a break.
Mostly what I hope will be needed, is just spam policing. We don't want to be one of those forums that are rules heavy. At the same time, we don't want a few bad apples ruining things for the rest of the forum users. One thing Chad has mentioned as being something he doesn't want on the forum is indecently clothed people. If someone wants to post about women in bikinis, or less, there are plenty of other forums for that.
I'll post some threads with tutorials on how to delete posts, and close threads. Also how to ban users that are there purely for spam.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I am available through the forum, as well as at my email address of fredprovost@gmail.com
Thank you all,
Fred Provost
