Matt Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Hi Everyone, I'd like to welcome Pantani to the The Hub "Team" as a moderator. So who are the moderators?CruxpearlfatcyclistlinnegaPantaniWhat is a moderator?Amoderator is a member of an internet forum who has special permissionsor "powers" which allow them to enforce the forum rules. A key roleof a moderator is to ensure that discussions and debates are carriedout in an appropriate manner. Moderators keep the community togetherand keep it attractive to newcomers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator So what does this mean?Moderatorshave the authority to edit, move, close and delete forum topics as wellas individual posts. They can give out warnings when forum rules arebroken and step in when things get out of hand. As a moderatorthey can still participate in discussions, debates and general chitchat. They are not expected to remain completely neutral or objectivein general discussions, but are expected to be rational and reasonablewhen acting as a moderator.

AndreZA Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Oh crap. Now if it's not bling, it's gonna get deleted. Congrats and please be gentle.

bob_the_builder Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 OMG... From having posts and entire threads reported and then deleted to becoming a moderator... That's surreal... (edit) Actually it's not. It's what I've come to expect from this forum. bob_the_builder2008-05-19 01:40:55

Joe Low Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Poacher turned gamekeeper - good luck in getting the Style Police going.
Guest Big H Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Congratulations!!!!!! I hope you do not become a "lurker" like the other three moderators and admin who very seldom post or take part in debates on the Hub. Big H2008-05-19 03:53:41
Spinnekop Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Congratulations!!!!!! I hope you do not become a "lurker" like the other three moderators and admin who very seldom post or take part in debates on the Hub. A moderator is not allowed to have an opinion......For said oppinion they get flamed.So instead of sometimes getting informed, nice debates with people in the know they rather keep their fingers away from the keyboard to avoid HubHisteria..... Sad but true....Use it....don't use it. Hi Pantani.....good luck my friend.....hope you had a nice stay on the Hub....

"As a moderator they can still participate in discussions, debates and general chit chat. They are not expected to remain completely neutral or objective in general discussions, but are expected to be rational and reasonable when acting as a moderator." Ek het al voorheen voorgestel dat daar 'n paneel van moderators moet wees wat op 'n roterende grondslag werk. Dit al beteken dat 'n moderator ook sy kans sal kry om 'n Hubber te wees en ook objektief kan bly en nie vooroordele teen sekere tipe postings of Hubbers ontwikkel nie. Arme admin sal maar admin moet bly...... tensy hy onder 'n ander naam posst!!!!!!!!!
hagar Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 congrats le STYLE ps would you be able to rescue that Friday Eye post
