[shakti5385]

Hi all
time come to see jmcilhinney as Moderator because
John helps out on allot of .NET threads ans spend lot of time daily of forums.

[RobDog888]

Actually we have a Moderator for the C# forum, Hack, and yes John helps out on allot of .NET threads. Currently we have a full team of mods. When the needs arises Mod selection is handled by the mod staff.

The best way to handle duplicate threads, either from user or forums software errors, is to pm a mod about it or to use the Report Post icon and it will be taken care of.

Edit: Johns notice of duplicate thread has been deleted so your link wil now be broken.

Thanks sir
but what you think that some moderator are irregular on forums.

[RobDog888]

"irregular"?

[shakti5385]

"irregular"?

Absent since lot of time.

[RobDog888]

For the most part our Mod staff is very active and we have coverage 24/7. Currently there just isnt a need for any new Mod staff additions. Sorry but will keep him in mind when the need arises.

Seriously - When we see a need for an additional moderator, we tend to look to see who has been around the forum recently (but for at least a year). We look to see who is helping in the area where we need additional moderation. We then approach and ask people that have been helpful if they would like to be a moderator. There are a lot of people who are very helpful on this forum that would make great moderators in addition to the keen staff we already have. In time, I'm sure some of them will be asked as existing moderators get too busy with other work or as we expand into new areas that need new moderators!

Brad!

@Brad, but what if you help all over the forum, as i do?

[crptcblade]

@Brad, but what if you help all over the forum, as i do?

Logic would dictate that you become an admin immediately.

[dclamp]

well thats what i was thinking!

[penagate]

@Brad, but what if you help all over the forum, as i do?

As Brad said, when there is a need to moderate a particular section that warrants adding a new moderator, someone who is helpful in that particular section is likely to be considered. If you help a lot in every forum, then you're likely to be considered for any positions that come up.

[kregg]

Is there any room for a spam moderator?

(I have not got serious tags... there is a great intentions with leaving them out...)

[brad jones]

well thats what i was thinking!

Penagate answered this, but I wanted to add... most of our moderators are setup up to be able to review all forums. That allows us to have cross over and backups. Even with that, when an specific area is light in mod coverage we tend to look for someone active in that area. Being helpful across the forum simply means that more mods are likely to have seen your name and your posts and thus are more likely to give a nod of approval should your name come up for an area.

Brad!
