Moderation and moderators

Moderators are forum members who volunteer their time to help maintain a friendly, spam-free community. Since they are unpaid volunteers, we hope that our membership will support them in their work.
Moderators are tasked with applying our forum rules.

Moderators are usually invited. If you would like to volunteer to be a moderator, the best way is to be an outstandingly helpful member and wait to be invited.

If you want to nominate a member who you think would make a good moderator, please send a private message to a moderator of a forum they frequent.

To contact a moderator, you need to start a conversation with them.
If you know the name of the moderator you wish to contact then you should open your conversations page, start a conversation and type the moderator's name into the recipient box. Click here to open your conversations page.

If you don't know the name of the moderator to contact, you can navigate to the forum relevant to your issue and click the Moderators link. This link is above the thread list of all forums.
The list of moderators shows the most recently online at the top. Start a conversation with one of the moderators in the list.

Please follow the instructions in this forum.
