..the Forum Administrators, Moderators and Forum Hosts? What responsibilities do they have and what does each have to do every day/week?

I'm a moderator (or forum host) and its my job along with Tim D in Historics and David Patterson in the Racer's Forum, to keep the forums tidy and free from unregulated actions, like taking "pops" at other posters. I can edit or remove unwelcome posts in my forums.

I am also charged with keeping the forums busy so sometimes I have to start a few threads for others to make comments.

You may also notice I like to have a bit of fun with people.

As to responsibilities? I've got a mortgage and a day job to hold down.

touringlegend, Peter already explained about the forum hosts but here are the official descriptions concerning staff members.

Our forums are administered by a team of forum hosts and administrators who have been choosen for their people skills, as well as their location around the world. We aim to always have at least one member of staff on the forums - whatever the time of day.

Forum Hosts (or 'Race Officials' as they are known) control individual forums. They can edit, delete, or move any posts in their own forum, but their main aim is to encourage chat and debate in their given forum. If you have a question about a particular forum, you should direct it to the relevant forum host.

Super Moderators are a cross between a host and an administrator. We have promoted a number of 'forum hosts' to 'super moderators' in order to provide additional cover at times when a forum administrator may be unavailable. They are able to edit/delete/move any topic in any forum.

Administrators (or 'Clerk Of The Course') are responsible for the overall running of the entire forum network. They are specifically responsible for removing objectional posts, banning troublesome users, and generally ensuring things run smoothly.

It is not a matter of doing 'something' each day or week.
We all have families to take care for and jobs to maintain.
But we try to make a perfect mix out of our private lives and the wonderful community which is 10-Tenths.

Thanks for the description Gerard, but I have one more question - How do you explain AMoffat?

There's always an unexplainable anomaly...

that's a very good point. How do you explain A Moffat?

You don't!
Because you can't.
You just have to except that.

Liz · 26 Jun 2001, 18:53 (Ref:110038)

AMoffat is sort of the "heavy artillery" of 10-Tenths. We trot him out when all else fails.

Think of him as sort of an Australian Paul Tracy.

Liz: you know full well that there is no such thing as "an Australian Paul Tracy", he is very definately a one and only the world over

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right..

looks at the precision instrument

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

DAVID PATERSON · 27 Jun 2001, 07:53 (Ref:110202)

Isn't it "Clowns to the left of me"?

Hey, I may be pedantic, but I know good music when I hear it.

Airhead · 27 Jun 2001, 07:58 (Ref:110203)

thanks Dave,

I was sitting here trying to remember the lyrics.

Obviously in the position description for an Administrator having a good memory is not an essential requirement.

I'll now edit the orginal.

......................and I'm wondering what it is I should do.

Is it cool to fall asleep on the floor?
I don't think that I can take any more.

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right.

Here I am stuck in the middle with you..............

Actually, Moffat, I thinks its "Clows to the left of me."
