Hi all
Just thought I'd post a brief message to explain why my name has suddenly appeared as a moderator on the Australian Working Retriever Central bulletin board. I have volunteered to undertake this role which is complimentary to Ashley Oliver's role as webmaster for the main http://www.australianworkingretrievercentral.org.au page.
According to the FAQ moderators are "individuals (or groups of individuals) whose job it is to look after the running of the forums from day to day. They have the power to edit or delete posts and lock, unlock, move, delete and split topics in the forum they moderate. Generally moderators are there to prevent people going off-topic or posting abusive or offensive material."
I hope that my role can be a little more positive - encouraging people to make full use of the bulletin boards and posting material that hopefully will be of interest to you. Of course if people do post libellous or offensive material or get too carried away with commercial promotion, I may have to step in, but I hope that won't be necessary.
If you have any questions or suggestions on how to make this bulletin board more useful, please feel free to send me a private message or reply to this posting - others may be interested in your question too.
Cheers, Jason.
