New Moderator on Thamnophis

[Boots]

I would like to thank Cazador for accepting the responsibility of forum moderator. With his help hopefully we can keep the spam off the forum and continue to grow in the coming year.

[abcat1993]

:) Congrats. But I knew it was coming.

[GarterGuy]

Congrats! Hmmm, yeh....thought he was already one as well! :cool:

[Elliot]

Nice I'm sure we'll have nothing to worry about now.

[Markus18]

;) congratulation cazador!
its good that you are a moderator because you know very very much about gartersnkaes and other stuff!!

[Elliot]

Well looks like Cazador gets to delete his first post in Cant Get A Snake! (dont look unless your weird like that)

@Cazador
Hey Rick, congratulations about your new function.

@Boots
Good choice.

[Cazador]

Hi folks,
Thanks for all of the well wishes. Jason is still setting me up with all of the privileges, so I don't have the ability to delete or edit posts yet. Unfortunately, one of our new members has taken the opportunity to include a bit of nudity in his first post on the "Can't get a Snake" thread. If you're offended by such, don't flip through that thread until Jason has had a chance to remove it.

I think in general, though, we have such a friendly and polite forum that my main job will just be to move the occasional thread from one folder to another :). I consider it a real honor to be one of the moderators on THIS forum, and I look forward to watching it grow and prosper with each of your help. Please send me PMs if there is anything I can do, but realize that I was probably chosen for my willingness to help with snake issues... definitely not for my computer saavy. I think this will be an excellent chance for me to learn more about moderating, though. Best regards and thanks again,
Rick

I think we all have had the same idea about Cazador being a mod. Well now that you are officially one ....
CONGRATS!

Cazador,
I'm not sure what a moderator is, but I am sure you'll be good at it! Congrads!

[Cazador]

Well, basically, I try to delete the porn (or theoretically any other spam) before too many people see it, and try to ensure that the forum is a welcome and productive place for people to chat about garter snake issues. We got hit fairly hard last week, but Jason (AKA Boots; the forum owner) has a plan to get rid of random posts into our forum, so that makes my job even easier. Basically, I just have a lot of fun on the forum and have a different name under my screen name.

I, like a lot of the members here, enjoy talking and learning about snakes enough that we try to keep fairly focused and make the forum a fun place to be, so it's mainly the spammers that have to be monitored... not the forum members. Still, my goal is to help the forum grow into a resource for information that isn't available (or isn't easy to find) elsewhere.

[suzoo]

Thank you. I guessed some of that, but not all. Sad that people would put porn or other icky things on here!
