Is there a list of forum moderators somewhere? Or maybe someone can name a few? I know of only one; Athlonrob. Thanks. |

There are not many, and usually they are not needed much. Rom Walton is another. Dave Anderson is one as well (but I don't see many posts from him). They normally have a pretty hands off approach as they have given the users tools to cope with all but the most egregious problems - the + and - buttons and your personal ignore list do most of the work. There have been a very few cases where the moderators have had to admonish a user, and this has in every case lead to expulsion as well after the user still wouldn't behave. BOINC WIKI |

Yes, I emailed Rom Walton (after your reply) and he fixed it. Thanks again. :) |

It would be a shame if too many moderators were required, it is generally assumed that people who run this are a cut above the unwashed masses and thus are good natured decent people. However some moderators are still required to assemble and put in order the many posts this forum recieved. Dave Anderson, Rom Walton and Athlonrob are good people to contact with any problems. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

There weren't any moderators until we had a couple of trolls abuse the BBS. BOINC WIKI |
