Put in a request to become full time MOD.

I often see you talk about the problems associated with members posting email addresses and how you oppose it (it's in your signature! ), but I have never seen you delete/edit topics containing email addresses, same applies to deleting spam.

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!

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...

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).

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.

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.

[RYAN J.]

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. 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.
