New Council of Moderators (1 Viewer)

[Shannon Reuss]

The Treefrog Forum has made some changes to continue to help the forum run smoothly as we continue to grow in both membership and posts.
Moderation will now be shared between members of the Council of Moderators. All moderators have full moderating privileges and can be called upon for assistance with forum issues.
The council is made up of the following members:
· Shannon Reuss
· Jazzeum
· DMNamiot
· Drum
· thebritfarmer
· Peter Reuss

If you have an issue with a post please click the ‘report a post’ icon in the upper right-hand corner of the post and type in the reason that you are reporting it. This immediately sends an email to all moderators with a direct link to the post in question.
If you email or PM moderators individually, without a direct link to the post, it will slow the process down considerably.
Moderators can assist with moving a thread to a different area of the forum, delete messages accidently posted twice and take action on posts that are offensive or break the rules of the forum just to name a few of the things they can help with.
Please welcome our newest moderator thebritfarmer as well as welcoming Drum to his expanded role outside the Imperial Productions area.
My personal thanks to all of our moderators who volunteer their time in this capacity.

Best regards,

Yo Troopers, having a inquiring mind and like to know the ins and outs of how Moderators work, for instance if I post a thread and one person objects does that thread get deleted, or is it up to the Council of collective minds (Borg) lol, that decide on the outcome. I found through experience that some people are born complainers, so is that taken into consideration as well IE: how many times a person complains. I have seen some good threads removed in the past that were very interesting debates, but removed because someone says its an argument. Always being a believer in free speech, after all many a fallen hero in two World Wars died for that privilege, so we could express our feelings, OK I draw a line on sex smut and bad Language even being an (ex Trooper lol) but a lot of words are in the English Dictionary and are not swear words IE; A-S-S meaning a donkey and is deleted. I play online poker and you cannot say Arsenal (football team) or (Cockney)- Londoner, it comes up stop using bad language !WHAT!. So just interested on what grounds threads are deleted and who has the final decision.

You will always have people that complain, there is not much you can do about that and as long as they are not cursing and being abusive then the posts will remain. Regards to the words that are censored, that is done automatically by the computer program, I am not sure if Shannon has the option to edit the list of words to be moderated. I know on another forum the words are changed, on this forum they change to stars.

Congratulations to all the new moderators.I really think that all forum members as well as Shannon and Peter owe a deep debt of gratitude to Jazzeum(Brad)
for all the time and effort he has spent to make this forum work.
Many thanks Brad,you have my vote for the Congressional Toy Soldier Medal of Honor.
It is amazing to watch Brad deflect "the bombs" that some of our less discreet members have directed towards him
Thanks again.
