Moderator Update and Reminder of Moderator Members Roles

Posted by Perrie Halpern on April 13, 2014 at 10:52pm in the Other Forum

Hello NewsTalkers,

This is a friendly note from me about some changes in the lineup of member/moderators and a reminder to the group about our unique moderating system.

Jerry Verlinger and Sixpick will be moving up to full mods. Also joining the team is an old veteran moderator, Mike Lonkouski aka NewsTalker#1.

Also I want to go over the rules for moderation, since they are unique to NT.

• No mod can moderate in an article they have participating in, as it would be a conflict of interest. If there is a need for moderation, they must get another mod, just like any other member.
• Moderators are like any other member when they not moderating. That does mean that sometimes they may break the CoC. If they do, they are subject to moderation just like any other member.
• Moderators do not moderate based on their opinions, but strictly on the CoC. Any indiscretion of this should be reported to either me or Mac.

I will be on the road, late Tuesday till Saturday due to my mother's surgery, but I will have my computer and I will try to beonlineas much as possible.
