To make it more confusing , many fora have one or more moderators, and some moderators moderate more than one forum.

There are also currently four senior moderators - they serve as resource people to the moderators and moderate all unmoderated fora.

To contact a moderator for a forum, use the "Alert a moderator to this post" button - fil lout the form and send it, and it will go to all moderators of the forum you are "AMPing" from, or all the senior moderators if the forum has no appointed moderators.

This works much more effectively than "Mods, please .... this post" posted in a thread, as moderators are volunteers and may not read each and every thread or post. This can be used to make a request (such as retitling the thread, reporting a misplaced thread such as an airline question in a destination forum or vice versa), to report a post that violates the TOS / Rules, such as spam, an attack, etc.

Both Ambasssadors and Moderatores are volunteers selected by the Community Director and IB/FT Admin. Ambassadors are subject experts; moderators are the guys and gals who keep the shelves stocked and organized, and clean up the mess on aisle four.
