Is there a list of who (alias or real handle) who moderates each board? Especially on the P & R board, it would be good to know who is moderating.
...for several years now. There once were local moderators for each board.
Now the closest thing to that is perfectstorm who is the host of the Newbie Board. He does not have moderator authority. His handle shows in "red" only when he posts on the Newbie Board.
My name is orange on the newbie board now. I guess they wanted to distinguish the rom the "real" TER staff who have red handles. 😊
TER used to have volunteer moderators for each board. These moderators were regular TER members. Some of them are still around as members but are not moderators. GaGambler is probably the best known, but there are a few other former moderators who post on regional boards. In Feb 2012, TER stopped using volunteer moderators and started moderating the boards in house with TER staff. They share responsibility of moderating boards so you never know who is moderating which board at any time. When they do post, you'll see names like TERAdmin, DiscussionBoardAdmin, BoardAdmin, DBA, MediaAdmin, SportsAdmin, TERstaff, etc., and their name will be in red.
As xyz said, I am "host" of the newbie board, but I do not have moderator powers.
Thanks for the info, makes sense. I can tell there are different people moderating by what gets moderated, or not, and when.
