Just to set the record straight about "Senior Users" They are not "old" people like me... they are those USERS that have made at least the arbitrary number of posts that the discussion software had set for a default... I think it might be 500, but I would have to search the admin control functions to find out...
Initially there was also a Junior User category, but we (admin folks) didn't think that appropriate so we just deleted it and everyone starts in the "User" category...
There is no other progression to any other "status" as far as I am aware.
The current crop of moderators were chosen to serve their current "sentence" in this capacity when we changed from the open format to the current discussion format. Some were volunteers and some were volunteered [img]biggrin.gif[/img] like Ed Tinker and Pete Ebbink.
We don't have any shortage of moderators at the present time, but those interested in serving as a moderator for an individual forum can send me a Private Message with an explanation as to why they feel so inclined, to be accompanied with a note from their psychologist where appropriate [img]smile.gif[/img] , those with no note from a psychologist will be encouraged to have their head examined...
I can guarantee you long hours, no fringe benefits and you will get paid twice what John D. Dok, and I get, (but the last time I multiplied it out, two times zero is still sero.)
