Hey osiris,

Yes, I just realized this problem only this week. But don't worry, I'm pretty much a technical geek, so figuring out how to remove the email addresses and place the topics back in the correct section shouldn't be a problem for me. :lol: I work with complicated computer programs (Adobe photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, webpages) all the time and I'm a quick learner.

I will contact Admin about the issue with not access to that. {up}

PM Admin and tell him you dont have access to the TM forum.

I have to ask though, how have you not noticed til now that you can't get in there? You've been a TM all this time and not even tried? To be honest, I don't think you're ready to be a full time mod, as you dont actually have the experience yet. The technical problem may not have been your fault, but it does mean you've not had the opportunity to carry out all the jobs required of you. Being helpful, polite and knowledgable is one thing, but knowing the technical side of it is important too.

Well I did as you said khackdrums and tried getting on the TM board. I got this error:

You do not have the required permissions to read topics within this forum.

So for some reason my TM account must not activated completely when I was given the title. I also looked for the conrol panel pop down menu, but it's not there. :neutral: I'm assuming I'll need to contact Admin about this?? Would Chrissy be able to help me? I know she doesn't frequent this forum all to often anymore, but she does stop by now and then.

Sorry for all the confusion with this.

So wait I already have the ability to delete email addresses then?? :neutral: How do I do it?? I've looked at other members posts to see if there's an 'Edit' button so I can remove the email addresses But there's none. Have my settings not been switched over to Trainee Mod function? If I had know I could be removing them all this time I would be doing it instead of asking the member themselves to do it! :lol:

A TM doesnt have the ability to edit all posts in every forum - just the TM forum. Move the topic there, edit as necessary (using the edit button which will now have appeared), and move it back. Make sure to untick the option to leave a shadow (if you do leave one by accident, use the moderator control panel to remove it).

You should have a [Moderator Control Panel] near the top right side of your screen and a Quick-mod tools pull-down menu near the bottom left side of your screen when accessing topics. From these menus you can do practically anything you want! Of course, you won't have all the permissions that full Mods have, but enough to get by, plus more. I remember speaking to you about this by PM once. I also remember saying that you should talk to Admin if you were having problems. Try accessing the TM forum at the bottom of the board index. If you can't, then there's a problem...

And I don't know why the admin doesn't.. it takes just a few minutes. Not to mention, a dead moderator account is a security hole.
Like I said before you will need to do as you preach, RYAN J.! ;-) Being nice and helpful is one part of being a Mod, but keeping everything else in check is the largest responsibility of a Mod. Most of my time here is spent dealing with little things that go unnoticed (moving, editing, deleting topics/posts etc. etc.). Like osiris said, you have had the ability to do this since becoming a TM! {up}
This really needs to be reinforced, because the actual job of a moderator is to edit/delete/move posts, threads and accounts as necessary and keep everything under control. While it's nice that a moderator can also give good advice and be helpful, this alone doesn't qualify anyone as a moderator. It just seems so many people here think someone can be a moderator based on seniority or popularity alone.

I agree with dfreely here, the first thing someone should do is go through all the moderators and remove that title from any account that has not been active for say 5 months. Then, although it wouldn't be very popular, demote those moderators who either don't provide help or don't know what they are talking about. This will make space for people like Ryan J, who has been a trainee-mod for ages, to become full moderators and really help out the forum.
I have been a proponent of this for a while now, but I haven't been able to convince Admin to do anything about it. I agree that the majority of TM’s/Mod's/even GM’s are no longer active and should be demoted. Surprisingly, we are doing just fine with the limited amount of help we have! For a site this size, we don't require very many Mod's. I am glad to see that Admin has become more selective in who he approves, that goes for the rest of the GM’s too!
