Official Moderator List for PhysicsForums: Up to Date Info & Updates

[Chris Hillman]

Is this the official list? https://www.physicsforums.com/help/mentorforums/

If so, it is out-of-date. In particular, pervect is not on the list; see https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=166153.

I think it's very important to keep up to date information about who is a moderator at PF for a whole buncha reasons. Admins, please rectify! (Or, someone please point me at the "real" official list.)

Both pervect and jtbell are missing from this list.

Thanks for pointing out the other ommision, Doc Al!

Admins, I really think its very important to keep this list up to date! I can't understand how this happened.

IIRC, I remember a post (maybe from an admin) advising that only moderators that were given a particular forum to "look after" showed up on the moderator's list available by clicking on the staff button-- i.e. "floating" moderators do not show up on the list.

Us "floaters" do show up now...apparently the mentor's private forum needs a LOT of moderating. Those of us who float show up as mentor's for the mentor's forum...that was what Greg figured out as a solution to that problem.

Hmm.. it appears that's only visible to you mentors though. You (Moonbear) and others (pervect, jtbell) don't appear on the "staff" list to us normal folk!

 

[Moonbear]

jtbell and pervect don't show up for me either. I don't think Greg had a chance to update it since they joined (though I thought he had added jtbell to it when he added berkeman since they were appointed as mentors pretty close to the same time).

You can't see those of us listed as mentoring the mentors? So that means you don't see Vanesch on there either? And we thought we finally figured a way around that problem. Phooey! Maybe Greg should list all us floaters as mentors for Feedback, since that's at least visible.

The floating mentors now show up as moderating the Forum Feedback and Suggestions forum. Can everyone else see that?

 

[cristo]

Yup, sure can. Thanks.

 

[Chris Hillman]

Progress!

I see it! Thanks!

 

[Moonbear]

Yay! Good fix!
