OK. Traffic at The NES Files Forums has started to exceed what I can realistically keep up with on a daily basis. I am therefore, asking for volunteers to moderate the forums. Some of you have already PM'd me, asking to 'keep you in mind', but please reply to this as well, or you won't be considered. Please include which group(s) you'd be interested in moderating.
Anyways, I've come up with some basic rules for moderating. These are the responsibilities of anyone who volunteers to moderate. The basic idea, is to stimulate quality conversations, watch for abuse, and be very open-minded. Anyways, here's the basic rules, which will probably evolve over time:
Moderator qualifications
[list] o Must be established member of forums
o Read all messages in moderated forums daily(preferrably multiple times a day)
o My personal discretion[/list:c87a1e139b]
Moderator responsibilities
[list] o Inform me of any period in which you are unable to fulfill your moderating responsibilities(vacation, exams, lack of time, etc.)
o Start conversations(optional)
o Participate in conversations
o Move mis-placed topics into the most appropriate group
o Delete duplicate posts(always delete the 2nd one)
o Delete cross-posts(posting in multiple forums; delete all but the appropriately placed one)
o Delete any blatant spam messages
o Delete posts with extremely offensive language
o Notify me immediately via Email/SMS if anything suspicious happens
o Be nice. This is no place for people on a power trip.[/list:c87a1e139b]
Thanks.

I volunteer, and feel that I meet the criteria. if possible I'd like to Mod the Hardware group, and possibly the Mega Man group, I'm up for anything else you feel could use my attention though.

I would like to put in my.... nomination? The boards that I have the most interest in are Games, Emulators / NES ROMs, CastleVania, Ninja GaiDen, Off-Topic, and Other Classic Systems. As NES-Luke said, though, were ever you feel is necessary.

I'd be interested, too, but not at this moment.
I have lots of things coming up at university the next 5 weeks.
If it's after that, it'd be fine.

edit:
I'd be interested in the Modern Systems, SNES and/or Super Mario Bros sections.
Although I gonna be pretty busy the next weeks I think I can manage to look in every day (except Monday... Monday is impossible) at least once.

OK. For now, I've made Roth and NES-Luke moderators of all forums other than Announcements(I should always keep up with this group, no matter what). If you guys need help figuring out how phpBB works for moderating, LMK-- it's fairly simple once you know where the buttons are(usually to the upper right of the message, and the bottom left of the topic). Feel free to focus on the groups you've chosen, but try to read them all-- if you're unable to read them all, let me know and I'll distribute the responsibility a bit better. Thanks.

If your looking for a third, I'd be willing to take on the responsibility.
I know I've not been around for the past few weeks but, holidays being what they are and the fact that my family is on the other side of the country...
I have alot of time to mod when I'm home and even more time on weekends (at home and from work... I do nothing but play ROMs at work Saturday and Sunday).

Well, i DID want to mod the Zelda or Mario forums, but 3 mods is plenty. If you ever decide to make a gamecube or N64 specific forum though, I'm your man.

If traffic increases, I nominate maneul to be the next mod hands down, he is very dedicated to this message board, I always see him under new topics posted.
