Moderators

Moderators (usually referred to as mods) are a very important part of the LEGO Message Boards. A moderator's job is to approve or reject all the posts and topics. They also respond to reports at the reporting center located in the Mod Forum, and edit posts if need be. One of the most well known moderators, Miakittymoon, is especially known for actively taking part in the LEGO Message Board discussions, and helping to solve arguments. The moderation team also spends a lot of time answering questions in the Talk to the Mods topic.

Even though most moderators are actually Administrators (AKA admins), they are called mods nearly all the time. A moderator gets his/her own special rank, Official, and cannot gain any others. Strangely only 2 of the current mods are male.

The moderators have their own private forum that users can't access, and have many added features that allow them to moderate efficiently.

It has been revealed by the mods that knowing multiple languages, specifically English and German, is a requirement to be a moderator, since they must be able to moderate both the English and German boards.

Current Moderation Team
There have been many mods. However, after LEGO Universe shut down, an ultimate moderation squad was created in February 2012 from both the LEGO Message Board team and LU one. The rest of the mods unfortunately lost their jobs as part of the LEGO Group. It is possible, however, that some of them retired by choice. Most of the current mods are female.

Below is a listing of the current moderation team:


 * Aguarios
 * Cocodeville
 * Keighlian
 * Miakittymoon
 * Mojo_Sansibar
 * Oceanbella
 * Stevensbike
 * WhiteAlligator
 * Wildbunchz
 * IrrationalSeagull
