Administrators wanted
 

Now that MLU is moved to a new server and a new domain, we seem to have tackled the technical side of keeping Maple Leaf Up. Shawn has done an outstanding job doing do.

Now, running this forum requires some other tasks to be performed, summarised as administrator duties:

• vetting new members (checking their credentials) and approving or deleting them - this is to keep spammers out;
• monitoring the various subforums and threads to check if people behave (which is the case 99.9% of the time on this outstanding forum);
• answering questions of new members and help them posting and attaching pictures, resetting passwords, etc.;
• moving threads to the correct forum, merging threads, etc.;
• editing postings to minimise the amount of quoted text and fixing (picture) links;
• plus maybe some other minor tasks which I cannot think of right now. . .

Doing this requires no IT skills, other than getting familiarised with the Admin functions of vBulletin (the software which this forum is using) so you can carry out these tasks.

Please let me know if you have some spare time to devote on keeping this forum up and running.

Thanks in advance!
Hanno

Hanno I'm Happy to help if you need me.

... count me in, Hanno :salute:

What about a special icon or pic for the moderators?

If the position isn't already taken, I'll volunteer-while I know no skills are required, I'm already part of the admin/creator team of a paintball team website and the owner/operator/creator of a online paintball store, have a degree in computer science and work as a computer tech and casual web designer.

Count me in!
 

I shall be honoured to play my part..I have been a Mod on a US Forum [www.chevytalk.org] since April 1999 and it is hardly taxing! I regret that we are quite lacking in funds but I can help in a practical way.

Thanks for the replies, both here and off-line. I have appointed a number of new moderators who, after they pick up the tricks of the trade, be let loose on the forum.

If we need any more moderators, I will get back to you via this thread.

Hanno
