Wanted: Forum Admin and Moderators

Well I think I'm almost finished educating myself on how the latest version of the forum software works. Because of the complexity of it and growing size of our forums I'll need some help managing it.

Therefore I'm looking for another Admin to help with the maintenance of the forums as well as the moderation tasks below.

Then I think we'll need 2 or 3 Global Moderators who will fix broken links, manage bans, handle reports and complaints from users, delete spam, enforce the forum rules. Moderation will be very low key as I'm really against any aggressive form of moderating. Typically I'm looking for people who visit the forums on a daily basis and aren't too quick to hit the ban or delete buttons!

Anyone interested?

That will be the Local Forum Moderator rights. I've already tested that and it works.

I'm up for administration or moderation tasks. Got some experience with administrating and moderating PHPBB boards.

I'm not one to quickly delete or ban. If you plan on assigning new moderators/admins I suggest we set some rules/guidelines for it. Things like always having to leave a note when you edit someone elses post stating why his post was changed and stuff like that.

One cool thing about the new version of phpBB is you can leave a reason why you edited a post.

I'll update the Moderator guidelines in a bit.

I've moderated before - and as such i would be happy to do it again. I'm hoping the whole 'phantom disappearing posts' has been solved by Phpbb 3 - because i was kinda getting annoyed at the whole "omg who deleted what" threads (When, to be honest, i suspect 75% of the time the person has either forgotten to post, deleted their own post etc etc)

That said - i'm off to argentina mid-march, so after then you would have to replace me.

Ah ha yes. Got to test if its just moderators deleting posts which shows up in the log. Would be nice to know when users have done it also.
