New User Group – CR4 Admins

Posted April 23, 2012 10:01 AM by yamdankee

As many members of the CR4 community have noticed, a new user group called CR4 Admins has been created. This group is simply a way to identify the people who help keep CR4 running smoothly.

One example of a scenario where this could be helpful is when a moderator posts a reminder to keep a discussion friendly. It could go ignored, but when users see that the post is coming from a moderator, it instead might be taken as a reminder of the CR4 policies.

Another benefit is that Admins and Moderators are more accessible and every member will know who they are and can contact them easily. By visiting the Who's Online page, you can find out which Admin/Mod is online and contact him or her directly if you need immediate assistance. You can also use the Report! button or send an email to cr4admin@globalspec.com.

There are two types of membership in the group:

· Moderators - Remove spam and inappropriate content from the site, help users with account maintenance, and handle support requests.

· Admins - Perform the functions of moderators as well as maintaining some other components of the site.

The new user group does not mean that moderating is going to change. In fact, the moderators will be testing some unreleased functions of groups, which may become available to the rest of the community in the future.

Thank you everyone for your continued support and adherence to our policies, and for all your contributions of content that make CR4 a great place for learning and discussion.

This new user group is a welcome addition.

Can you tell us, will all moderators or Admin be wearing this badge?

[edit] I just tested to see if I could join the group... looks like you have that covered.

No mistaking that star as a sign of authority.

Message to Doorman: Come on, they DO have some minimum standards, you know.

Sometimes, this is more appropriate.
