when you select to allow moderators to enter the forum, i believe it's moderators of that forum. Adding each user individually ensure that they have access


nope, that's not the case. unless you and i have two different versions of ubbt711 and/or ubbt65x. mine is setup as i described and i saved the hassle of having to visit each moderator's settings.

moderators are moderators and they don't have to be moderating the specific forum to be in it.

matter of fact, i had a real world case recently, where i had a forum called 'alcatraz', where people were put in for being 'bad'. i initially allowed the general category 'moderators' access, but that sucked, because they were ganging up on the offender.

so to solve the problem, i removed 'moderators' from access and only allowed a specific group 'alcatraz wardens' (who were moderators btw) to be in there. so even though i didn't allow 'moderators', the group 'alcatraz wardens' overrode it.

How do you create a special forum where each topic automatically pops up in your FAQ? Is the special forum titled "FAQ"?

Please explain.

Thanks.

I'm afraid if they see it listed, they will feel left out or offended that moderators are meeting privately.


I think 9 out of 10 forums have private forums for moderators/admins.

We have 4 in total, talk about everyday moderation stuff, a seperate forum te handle all our e-mail communications, a forum for the techies and one special forum where each topic automaticly pops up in our FAQ.
