moderator

I am new at being a moderator and only have a bout two months of expertise. and I could use some help!!! The users are asking me things about Windows that I have no idea what they're talking about. So if you are interested In being a moderator take a look at the board. I would like someone to take over this position that has more expertise! If anyone is interested here is the URL.

http://www.nope.com

At the present time it doesn't have a lot of messages but I know there's going to be people asking questions that I don't know what they're talking about!

Thank you for your help and your time!!

a couple of bits of advice...

1. a moderator doesn't have to "know-it-all" - they have to moderate... keep the peace and so on.


2. posting ads asking for moderators on someone else's message board is extremely cheeky

I just realy did not know what to do and I was just trying to help my son with his board I am new at all this and my son is blind.
I just retired last month and have some free time on my haed so he ask me if I would help! I really didn't want to but I said yes, that I would try. But when the users started ask me questions that I did not know anything about I guess I got a little nervous! You see I am a programmer and I guess I've been my own world too long!
Did not mean to do anything cheehy as you put it. And if I get anything improper I apologize! But I still believe in the old saying of people helping people. I also fill before someone put someone else down for what they don't know they should at least ask. I am an extremely good programmer and in my world I could put a lot of people down but I choose not to do so.

Thank You for your time

Thank You!
