The Biggsd Admins & Forum Moderators

What is the difference between an admin & a moderator?
Moderators help members with questions about the board, ensure that dogs threads are updated regularly, move threads to the appropriate area and close & archive old, inactive or completed threads.Admins can do the same as the moderators plus have access to change user names, edit profiles, create new sections, etc.   We also have Section Moderators whose role is described at the bottom of this page.

What do we all do?

We look after the site, help users with posts & keep it up to date and tidy. We welcome new members & monitor discussions on the board. We can also help with bringing posts from our archives, merging or splitting topics.

 

Section Moderators

We also have moderators who have access to update, edit, close topics etc in specific sections of the board. You will see their names under the sections they are responsible for, some are associated to the sections as those are the rescues they belong to or own e.g. Michele - Desperate Greekies & Audlynton - GSD Rescue West Essex

We are blessed with others who are not linked to rescues directly but work very hard for the dogs by crossposting, updating etc. they include: Sheba's Mum, Caz and buddybear

We all do this for no payment and in our freetime because we share a passion for helping dogs. We have via this site rehomed & saved countless number of dogs from being pts by offering funds,finding rescue places or foster homes and of course forever homes.

We all think its crazy but so worth it.
