Well, we have the ability to edit or delete other people's posts, warn users, ban them if necessary, ban spammers, move or merge topics, and generally enforce the rules of the website. We also do our best to mediate any arguments that might occur, or at least discipline participants if things get out of hand.

And then there's the secret forum...

But there's one ability that a moderator has to give up when he chooses to accept the role. Back-seat moderating!

I think this thread has run its course. Can a moderator please lock this thing!

Yes, but you have to make it past the real Forum Troll to get there, and he makes you answer riddles.

Sorry I am late to this thread, I was busy in the "secret" forum.
Now I need to dispose of these wet-naps.












For those of you that were wondering, the wet-naps were for wings... get your mind out the gutter.
We got a buffet like no other in the secret forum!
