Moderating a forum gives you power and, along with that power, responsibility. Your aim as a moderator is to use your powers for the benefit of the community. This page describes the things that you have the power to do and the things you should keep in mind as you moderate.

Moderators have the power to:

* Send posts to Basket or delete it(send it to the basket if you are not sure you should delete it for admin. to look at)
* Move threads to Basket or delete it(send it to the basket if you are not sure you should delete it for admin. to look at)
* Move threads to other forums
* Split and merge posts and threads

Moderators do not have not the power to delete users; this option is available only to the Administrator. If you feel that a user should be deleted or banned, please send an email to the Administrator and explain why.

As a moderator, you are expected to:

* Check the forum at least 2-3 times a week
* Work for an active and pleasant forum
* Help new users on the forum to join the community
* Move messages that have been posted on the forum that should have been posted on a different one
* Delete messages that are racist, sexist, insulting or contain or link to illegal content. This includes anything that is a violation of copyright law.(articles or images posted with out permission)
* Respect the opinions of others when they differ from your own;you should never delete a post because you disagree with it's contents
* Inform the Administrator if you find any problems or bugs in the forum
* Inform the Administrator as soon as possible if you do not want to moderate any more

Moderators will loose their status if they are found to be abusing their power.
