Would you like to be a moderator?

[Mike Jackson]

With the newly launched Jury Room, we're switching from only the staff being moderators to having a mix of staff and non-staff. If you're a member of either group and are interested in moderating the Jury Room, please send me a private message.

What will be expected of you?

* Set an example. Lead by example. You should be the ones out there who are demonstrating how to carry on conversations respectfully.

* Respond to reports of posts that violate the rules, and trawl the boards looking for the same.

* Issue warnings to members.

I will note that all moderator actions are logged, so there will be a level of accountability for what you do.

[Mike Jackson]

For now, the following members are set up as moderators:

DrMikeP
HGervais
Michael Stailey
molly1216
Neal Solon

Their names should display in green, so you can always tell who's a mod. If you sent me a PM and I haven't responded or you don't see your name here, patience, I'll get to you.

Mods, I'll send you some instructions for what to do sometime soon.
