Conference moderators will have full authority to manage a conference and its
messages. They can verify messages before they are posted, edit or delete them,
retrieve them from the archive database, and modify conference settings. They can
even add other moderators to, or remove them from, the conference.
To choose conference moderators, follow these steps:
- On the More Options menu, click Administrator, Manager, or Moderator; the option available to you
depends on your authority level. The Administrator or Manager menu appears
for these two levels. If you’re a moderator, you’ll be presented with a list of
conferences for which you have these privileges; skip to Step 3.
- Click Manage Conferences. The Manage Conferences page appears.
- In the Select column, click Moderators to the right of the conference you want
to choose moderators for. The Moderators form opens. Any
moderators for this conference appear in the list box. If there are no
moderators,you will see "No Moderators are associated with this forum".
- To add moderators to the list, click Show User List. The Select Users form
appears in the left frame. You use Select Users to find the users you want to
add as conference moderators.
- The WebBoard Administrator can list any user with an account on the WebBoard
site, including users on other boards.
- Board managers and moderators can list any user on the current board.
- Search for users by first or last name or login name; search by first letter of last
name; or list all users.
- To search by first or last name or login name, select First, Last, or Login,
enter the text to search for, and click Search. WebBoard will try to match
the text you enter with the information in the selected category on the user
profiles. You don’t have to enter a complete word.
- To display a list of all users whose last name starts with a given letter, click
a letter in the Show by Last Name area.
- To list all users leave the text box empty and select First, Last, or Login to
tell WebBoard what to use in alphabetizing the list. For example, click
Login to sort the list alphabetically by login name. Click Search.
- WebBoard lists the names that match the search criteria. WebBoard displays 25
names at a time. Click the Show Next link to see the next batch of names.
- Select the users to serve as conference moderators from the list generated by the
search. As you click a name, it appears in the Moderators list. Continue clicking
names until you have added all the moderators. If the list returned by the first
search does not include all the users you want to add, search again and add names
from the new list.
- To remove a name from the Moderators list, click the name. If you as a moderator
remove yourself from a conference, you can only be reassigned by the administrator,
board manager, or another moderator. Removing a user as moderator does not remove the
user from the board or as participant in a private conference.
- Click Submit to make the users in the Moderators list conference moderators.
