Community Moderators

If I make a post that has nothing to do with moderating a forum, it is true that the Mod icon will show up and might imply that I can't be questioned. However, while I like to think that the moderators were chosen because they are reasonably knowledgeable about the focus of the forum, that doesn't mean that their posts (including mine) can't be questioned. If I post something incorrect in a forum that I moderate (e.g., if I claim that the Canon 7D can't do "X" when you know it can), feel free to let me know with a followup post - as long as this isn't posted as a personal attack (which would be against the site policy) then I have nothing to complain about. Hopefully all the moderators feel the same way.

On the other hand, having the Mod icon show up with all my posts in the forums I moderate let's people know that they can contact me if they have a problem with another forum member or a specific post.

Finally, remember that this is new for all of us (even if we've been moderators/Sysops at other sites, as have I) and that the new moderators are all volunteers - you can help us by using the Complaint option when you see a problem post so that we can identify them quickly.
