AnandTech Forum Guideline and Moderation Changes Announcement

[Evadman]

Welcome to the Politics and News 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 Politics and News forum is Hayabusa rider. hayabusa rider was nominated and voted upon by the Senior Moderators and Administrators and has accepted the position. We welcome hayabusa rider 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.

Welcome!

Feel free to make me a mod. I swing a mean pen.

 

[alchemize]

I think he's a good choice. Pretty balanced, as far as the leftie mods go anyhow

To be made a mod in the future, just be a good forum member and follow the rules. Simply volunteering may not make you a mod, plus it's a lot of work because you have to be on your guard and check almost every thread.

Remember that becoming the next Mod isn't just about how good you think you are now, but it's about how you've been as a forum member that will either make you or break you.

Congrats and good luck Haya. :beer::beer:

November 2008 will be here before we know it.

Who's Common Courtesy?

Grats?!? For becoming a P&N mod?

I'm thinking he drew the short straw.





(But seriously, great choice, and good luck.)

I wonder if the other Mods realized that he was a member of the Triad over at TFNN when they picked him to be a Mod here. To be honest I didn't realize it until I saw your post over at TFNN talking about it:laugh:

Anyways it doesn't matter, he's an outstanding choice as far as I'm concerned.:thumbsup:

Agreed

Although I suspect it's a plot to con you all into amnesty for the other members of the Triad :shocked:

What's next? Dogs and cats living together?

If we do that who'll post over at the TFNN? Sixone will be all there by herself with only RichUK to keep her company:laugh:

Somehow, I don't think I'll be lonely there, even if Rich keeps hanging around.

hmmm, didn't I get my thread locked for posting basically the same information, just earlier than this thread?

<grin>

At least we'll now know who the mods are, with the exception of the 2 stealth Senior Mods and the generic Anandtech Moderator account which is still around.

Ain't that a pisser? And it just had to be me that locked yours with my sig all over it.
Oh well I guessing the difference is this thread is an announcement from TPTB and yours wasn't.

We can't have any plebeian thunder stealing going on around here!

Soooo, uhhhhh, RD, all I wanna know is who was this "neocon Mod" whom Conjur kept referring to.

In the amnesty program and the spirit of returning members lately I wonder if Steeplerot will return...always so much fun in the Venezuela/Chavez threads.

I wouldn't count on it. We're only letting those back who might not have been banned in the first place if the rules as they are now would have been in place.
