− | === Regular Member ===
| |
− | A regular member has the basic abilities on the forum.
| |
− | | |
− | === Moderator ===
| |
− | The moderator of a certain forum has the ability to edit or delete any post in that forum. Additionally, the moderator can split posts from a topic, merge posts from one topic into another, move an entire thread to a different forum and lock/unlock any topic. Finally, the moderator can make topics become stickies or announcements (and vice versa).

− | ==== Becoming a Moderator ====
| |
− | The selection of moderators is done by the administrators. There is no set process. New moderators will be chosen only when there is a need for them such as when a new forum is built, other moderators step down, or a forum begins to require additional supervision.
| |
− | | |
− | The process of choosing moderators is not democratic. There is no election. The administrators choose moderators based on their trust and confidence in a member. Being a good, productive member is the best way for one to improve their likelihood of becoming a moderator.
