Hello BrickPicker Members...

Our site has grown tremendously over the past year and with the recent USA TODAY article, has really exploded in new members. Jeff and I have decided to add some Moderators to our team:

stephen_rockefeller

TheOrcKing

Mos_Eisley

stackables

Rich B

Please continue with the quality threads, posts and topics we have seen over the past year. The Moderators are here to help keep the forums clean, proper and free of spam. We have been very lucky so far with the lack of trolls and idiots, but now we should have a constant monitoring of the site by multiple people besides Jeff and I. As the site grows busier, we will no doubt encounter some issues with knuckleheads, but now we should be able to deal with it quickly. Thanks and congratulations to our new Moderators...

Nice avatar Mos_Eisley! I keep meaning to getting around and make my own, but I always seem to find something else to do.....like what I'm doing right now.

Anyway, I don't know about you guys, but I'm overwhelmed with all the different options available! And not quite sure what all of them mean or how they work exactly. Like the 'extra' options at the bottom of the "New Topic" page ("Make this a sticky post" or "Set post status to closed"), what exactly will those do? I do not want to click something thinking it will do something helpful when instead it creates ARMAGEDDON!!! ....Okay maybe not that but you get my drift.

Hey, Jeff. How about a 'help file' thread for us moderators?

(or in laymen's term "Modding for Dummies")

Been out of pocket for a bit. Congrats guys on the big promotion!

Would you want this to be a private thread or available to all members?

When I made that post, I was so new to the experience and wasn't sure what I was doing. After a while of this & that, I believe now I have a good grasp of how everything works basically. I wouldn't mind a little better explanation of some of the features though. If you think a thread for just us 'modmen' is a good idea, then I would vote to make that a private one.

Today we have added "arock68" to the moderator group. arock68 is very active on the site and has written several great articles for all of us to learn from. Please congratulate arock68 on becoming a moderator, he is a great asset to the site.

Congrats Aaron!!

Thanks Guys! Super excited and honored to join such an illustrious group! :)

Congrats dude!

Hmmm, arock clearly rocks!

Hell's yeah! Go, Aaron, go, Aaron, GO! ;-)

I just wanted to welcome two new moderators to the BrickPicker team, Huskers1236 and Legodog. I wish them well and I personally would like to let them know that Jeff and I appreciate that they accepted our offer. As we continue to grow, more members will be asked in the future to volunteer their talents to the site.

We have an upcoming major addition to the site which will stir up quite a bit of activity I'm sure, so we will need all hands on deck to deal with the increased activity. We also have a new contest starting April 1st, so there will be plenty happening within the next month to keep people entertained. Thanks again...

I would like to welcome Fcbarcelona101 to the Moderator team.   He has been doing some really wonderful reviews and articles and I'm sure will make an outstanding Moderator.  Thanks.
