We have restructured things a little bit.
This forum now has 2 dedicated moderators, as indicated on the main page and when you surf the forum specifically.
Michael Billings and Seig
They are both experienced kenpoists who are valued members of this community.
They are also now learning the ropes on moderating. Have some patience as they get up to speed on things.
With the addition of forum specific mods, we have slightly changed how we will be moderating.
The forum mods are charged with 3 specific duities:
1- Steer threads so they stay on topic or split off the tangents.
2- Keep your eyes open for problems.
3- Seed new topics when its slow.
As always, they have every right to voice their own opinions. It is not an 'Official' statement unless it is signed as a moderator.
Any member has always had the ability to say "hey we're drifting here, lets stay on topic." or "Cool it guys". You don't need to be a mod to help keep things running smoothly.
As a result of these changes, we have asked the forum mods to actively take charge of their areas to 'direct traffic' as it were. Too often threads break down into nothing more than idle chit chat or drift into entirely different topics.
If you are going to chit-chat, please use either the chat room or the locker room. Minor drift is ok, but when its a whole new topic, then it needs to be steered.
Remember, a thread on topic will generate more information that deals with the subject matter, which increases its worth. I personally hate starting to read a topic on technique only to find sports scores or the weather report 12 msgs in there.
As always, we ask that you stay on topic and if you find yourself drifting, to start a new thread.
To put it simply - Our rules and policies have not really changed. We just now have active kenpo mods who are doing their jobs.
Those who wish to 'quit in a huff' please PM me or Email me or another admin and we will be happy to close your account for you.
