In BT2 world, we're going to do things a bit differently than maybe what you experienced on BT1.

Mods = Helpers to remove objectionable postings, spam, etc. Help work with members on posts that violate some community guideline or the like. Not anonymous -- these are just ordinary members who have a little more power to help out in the community.

Admins = The folks who help lead the community and moderation team, providing advice, guidance and action when needed to address member issues. If a member is ever banned (and remember, this is a fairly rare event in my world), it's done with majority agreement amongst the entire moderation team.

And when I say "moderation team," it's just that -- a group of folks who agree to work together as a team to help keep the community running smoothly. We will remove anyone from the team who abuses their position of trust and responsibility. The moderation team will be known and accountable for their actions -- we don't hide beyond any anonymous logins here.

Hi, Bobby. I plan to respect members here and in additional forums, where I volunteered to help, as well as honor the description that you cited by DocJohn. The accountability factor is a real plus, I think :).

If anyone needs to reach me or Hannahbanana just click on one or both of our names to send an E-mail or PM.

[Thelma]

Oh gee bobby this is going to be so much fun.

[kimmydawn]

It's so nice to see welcomes. :)

Even though (as I said in another forum) Doc John and I aren't listed, we also "hop" and help in moderation, so we'll be available too in a really "hands on" kind of way.

It's nice to meet y'all here. :)

No,I don't think so.

[hannahbanana]

No, DocJohn is not John Lester.

DocJohn is Dr. John Grohol who runs PsychCentral.

http://psychcentral.com/about/

He has run his own successful online community at psych central for some time. He works in Boston so is aware of John Lester and knew about BT1. He was kind enough to set up these forums for us when he realized that BT1 was no longer up and running so that BT1 members would have a place to go. He has decided to make this a permanent site for members to use regardless of whether BT1 returns or not.

He is very hands-on here, as is KimmyDawn, his Administrator. Don't hesitate to write them or us if you have any questions or need any assistance here. DocJohn's welcome mat seems to be very warm and well-used and KimmyDawn is a fantastic support for us all. Bobbi and I are here to help in whatever manner you need and we are committed to honoring this forum and to helping ensure that it is a safe, helpful place for members to post.
