Welcome to the Digital and Video Cameras forum. There have been some updates to the Moderation and Guidelines for AnandTech forums which can be found in Personal Forum Issues in this thread. Please read these important guideline changes.

One of the major changes is in how moderation will be done going forward. Moderators have a title listing the forums they moderate. They are able to moderate in other forums, but are encouraged to do so only in extreme and obvious cases of a violation or when a thread needs to be moved. Moderators are expected to remain in good standing with the community and uphold all of our member and posting guidelines.

Senior Moderators, who will also be noted by title, have jurisdiction over all forums. In addition to normal moderation, Senior Moderators are responsible for making decisions concerning permanent bans, advising moderators on actions, reviewing member complaints about moderator activity, and generally making sure moderation at AnandTech is run fairly and efficiently.

In addition to the Senior Moderators, The moderator for the Digital and Video Cameras forum is drpizza. Drpizza was nominated and voted upon by the Senior Moderators and Administrators and has accepted the position. We welcome drpizza to the team, and hope you will too. Congrats are in order :)

Please note: These, and all other moderators should not be contacted directly for moderation issues. Those should go to the Moderator account though Private Messages, or posted in Personal Forum Issues.

Wouldn't it make more sense to make a user of the forum a mod? drpizza hasn't even posted in this forum, let alone visited it.

Why not make a user like yllus or blurredvsion a mod for this forum. They are active and really bring some good content to the forum.

Good idea....FuzzyBabyBunny would also be a very knowledgable moderator.

fourthed. nothing against dr. pizza but it'd be nice if the mod for this forum visited it.

of course, this forum probably needs very little moderation.

:) For what it's worth, I visit this forum nearly daily. (Except during the past week when I was on vacation; I just returned a couple hours ago.) I certainly understand your concerns as I have never posted here. I have a pretty strong interest in photography which has led me to start reading most of the threads here since this forums inception. If you go wayyyy back, I've even posted some "hey, look at my photo" threads in OT (I especially liked the composition of a praying mantis photo; I posed him for an hour til I got a shot that was just right.) If not for a cracked engine block on my new boat (OUCH!), I was going to invest a pretty good penny in camera equipment this summer; not that it diminishes my interest.

As far as moderating this forum goes, you guys are great - you haven't degenerated into the arguments like in the video card forum. (And, especially, you haven't resorted to personal attacks.) As ElFenix put it, this forum really hasn't needed too much moderation. Hopefully you won't hold it against me that I haven't decided which is better: Canon or Nikon. In fact, a couple of you will probably help me decide which camera to purchase after I've re-saved up a bunch of money and paid for a new motor. (Why, dear God, are boat motors so expensive???)

I mentioned the concern to the senior mods though. Hopefully though, you understand that I'm still capable of weeding out the personal attacks, etc.

Kinda OT, but while I'm here, didn't you post a picture of your barn some time ago?

Yes, I did have a few farm photos a while back. In fact, tomorrow I was going to update a few threads with one grand updated thread with a few pics. If you were looking, you can just look at here for pics of the barn.
