What are Moderators?
Moderators are individuals (or groups of individuals) whose job it is to look after the running of the forums from day to day. They have the power to edit or delete posts and lock, unlock, move, and delete topics in the forum they moderate. Generally moderators are there to prevent people going off-topic or posting abusive or offensive material. Moderators are un-paid volunteers at Mac GUI City. Any action which a moderator commits may be over-ridden by an administrator.

What to do when someone's breaking the rules
We encourage you to speak out when you're offended or when you believe someone is breaking the rules for Mac GUI City. In most of the important ways, you are Mac GUI City, so if something bothers you in one of the conference or discussion areas, speak up.
However, if you've voiced your concerns and nothing is changing, or you simply don't feel comfortable telling someone else how you feel, help is just a quick email or PM away.
You can, at any time, send a Private Message (PM) to Dog Cow, or any other online administrator or Mac GUI Moderator. Someone will come online to see what can be done to help. Whenever possible, copy the text of the problematic message or conference and paste it into an e-mail message to mgc@macgui.com The information you give, the more quickly someone can assess the situation.
Remember, the administrators and moderators are here to help, so call on them if you need an official presence.
