Forum Moderator

Moderator's Badge

A moderator (mod) in the context of a forum moderator, has powers higher than regular members. Such powers include moving a topic, deleting a topic, editing posts and closing/opening topics. While they don't have as much power as administrators, they do hold a responsibility above members in keeping the forums as stable as possible in the absence of other moderators.

In June, 2007, the incumbent mods were made Global Moderators, while new mods were appointed for specific forums.

The current Global Moderators are Captain Jeff Silvers, Jak, Fanguy, and Kommandant Dragmire.

The Forum Mods are Joey in the General Chat, Yoshiman in Fangame Discussion, Rage in the Arts Board, Tragic in the PPP, and Parakarry, Black Squirrel, ShadowMan, Bacteriophage, and Press Start in the Submit-it. In addition, there exists a stripped-down variation of moderator known as a PPP Mod. Jas and Black Squirrel are such. Though these mods are able to moderate forums outside of their area, this practice is discouraged unless there is an urgent problem and no other global mods, admins, or the moderator(s) of the forum in question are available.

Past moderators include Nite Shadow, supertoad2k, and SonicProject. Hatman was also a PPP Mod for a short time. In addition to this all site staff are given moderator powers for the Submit-it, so Ylle, Delmore and Toodles Team have also been moderators in the past.
