What are Moderators?
Attachment 419610

Our forum moderators are among the best and most active members in our community. They are here to ensure conversation remains fun and respectful, and that our forum rules and guidelines are adhered to.

To be clear, THEY ARE NOT POLICE. They ARE among our best members that volunteer their time to make sure everyone in the community has a fun, friendly and safe place to discuss the tech we love so much.

Among other things, moderators are tasked to:
- Encourage discussion
- Eliminate spam
- Reply to unanswered threads (No thread should ever go unanswered!)
- Rename poorly titled threads
- Address forum trolling issues
- Resolve issues between members
- Keep forums and threads organized and on topic
If you have any questions about the moderation team, feel free to reach out to me, or our Mod Team Leader here on CrackBerry, @howarmat!

If you post the request to close your thread in your thread, and hit the report button

From previous experience I didn't have to hit the report button. But then again I get special treatment.

Well all you really need to do is make or post the statement and wait for any moderator to notice the request. Hitting the report button just accelerates the process. It can be anyone that hits the report button.
