Arrow Forum requests and moderators -- clarification

Hi folks,

Thanks for bearing with me as I still am getting over a nasty cold...

I will try and get to all the forum requests made tomorrow morning.

I also wanted to clarify that, UNLIKE on BT1 or perhaps other communities you visit online, moderators have a limited set of powers here. They cannot ban or suspend members, for instance. Only kimmydawn or I can do that and nobody will ever be banned or suspended (unless they're a spammer) without first having a discussion with the rest of the moderation team.

Moderators are more like guides here. They are tasked to help guide their forums to (a) ensure they stay relatively on-topic, (b) remove any spam that may be posted, (c) help welcome new members, and (d) close or remove threads that violate one of the community guidelines. Moderators are accountable for their actions and if they do something for personal reasons rather than for the good of the community, they will have to explain it.

Nothing is set in stone, either. I'm a very flexible guy and if we seem to be doing something wrong, let me know.

John
