I would like to announce the following twenty-three as new staff members of the Harry Potter Lexicon Forums with positions of editors/moderators (ordered alphabetically by first name) :  Caput Draconis, Carina, Denise S., Detail Seeker, Dumbledore II, Hamuera, Hem Hem, Kathy Lynch, Landman, Lumos!, Marč, Marie E., Matt Allair, Meg L., mischa fan, Pinky, S.E. Jones, Saralinda, shepherdess, Sly Girl, Slytherin Prefect, W J, and Wednesday Weasley.  I am still waiting to hear from one individual.

The duties of each editor/moderator have not been finalized; however some of the duties of the moderators are as follows:

Moderators will basically assist the Hosts in helping keep the Lexicon Forums a fun, clean environment for everyone to enjoy discussing Harry Potter topics. Moderators will be polite at all times, firm when necessary, and friendly/helpful in general.

Moderators will "patrol" the Forums and try to ward off problems before they happen

Moderators will direct 'newbies' to the -- Philosophy of the Forum - Please Read! thread or the -- Forum Behavior - Please Read! thread and ask them to use correct punctuation, etc. if necessary

If a new thread is started that repeats the topic on an existing thread, Moderators will ask that the discussion be moved to the existing thread and request that no more posts be added to the new thread so that the Hosts can delete it

Moderators will, if necessary, notify a host to either edit, delete, or move a post

Moderators will, in general, continue to just read and enjoy the Lexicon Forum threads, but will also have the authority to give direction to members when necessary.

The duties of the editors will be confined to those discussion threads already in existence. The specific duties will be defined in the future.

I hope that each of you will consider that these editors/moderators are direct representatives of the Hosts and please provide them with your full cooperation.
