There appears to be a problem for some, so since they could not see the list, I provided it! :)

This is NOT an easy solution... I go back and forth between reading threads for personal reasons and moderating. I am not going to log in and out of two different IDs to do that.

People should be measured by WHAT they post, not what label is under their name. If a member is abusing their posting privileges or TOS, then they should be dealt with... and I do not care if they are a moderator, Evangelist or Original Member.

But I do not see why we should make it more difficult for people who have stepped forward to give their time to moderate. I would rather spend my time moderate than worrying about logging in and making sure I do not accidently make a post under the wrong ID.

If people have issues with a moderator, take it up with that person or with Randy.

William,

Yikes.... I only thought of it as a solution. Quite frankly, I don't care if you have a moderator label or not. People were suggesting altering the security groups, etc. which takes a lot of IT time. This could be a possible solution, in my eye, on the surface.

It was just a thought, since I've been knee deep in security groups these past few days ;).

rather than having it in my signature file... It's allowed me to avoid this problem. In any case, it was just a thought.

aloha

what I do is manually add

I am not ever in official moderator mode outside of the forum I moderate, just to clarify.
