Central New York Rick A. M. (his initials) I think him and Marcel would make a fine pair of moderators... :)

Glenn would make a fantastic moderator also...he is a member of about 875 photographic forums all over the net and thus has tons of experience... :)

So what is the exact task of moderators? How many hours a month are we talking about. It's one thing to participate and be active, I just fear that the obligation might spoil my fun…
Who will convince me?

I'm blushing. My secret has been exposed! :eek:

I only have one request. Can someone improve the "smileys"? The new ones aren't really...(can't find the appropriate word).

Everything you need to know to do the job is spelled out in the link above...pay particular attention to trolling and flame wars...years ago I used to set up and administer forums (I go way back to chat rooms actually and using html to do strange things that made people feel I was a genius or something lol) Never had to do much moderation because I used modifications like troll mods to jack people up plus I usually set up a real loose set of rules anyhow - read just about anything goes...the only situations that ever gave me trouble is when people started talking about other people's wifes and mothers and children...that is when you had to step in and 86 people...with three or four forums (one of them went pretty viral for about 3 or 4 years and another that I helped out on the backside is still going strong and has been since I think 00 or 01 when it started as a Yahoo grouop or some crap like that) I never had to ban anyone because you don't want to and shouldn't have to do that! :)

So Marcel are you convinced yet?
