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!

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!

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.
