Forum Monitors are long-standing forum members who have proven over time to act in the interests of the diabetes community. Being a Forum Monitor on this forum is a mark of respect. This is a closed group, new members can only join upon invitation of a group leader.
I don't quite understand what has happened to a group of people mostly motivated (or am I being naive?) to find help/support/solidarity for themselves and/or to help others.
When you see moderators all called Moderator 1, 2 3 etc in bold green, it begs the question why?
iHs said:Sometimes authority can go to peoples heads so in the interest of keeping the forum running nice and smoothly can I politely ask for Ken and Sue to leave posting on the forum as a monitor or moderator for 2 weeks and just see if we can all be nice and civil to each other, helping people by answering their questions without any involvement from a mod or mon unless comments start to be really nasty and hurtfull ending in a load of stress for the person who posted the message in the first place. If a moderator does need to step in, then their comment should just be to remind people to keep things civil. Obviously spam is a different matter and so those do need to be dealt with but I am sure that those type of messages can easily be reported.

This place is a great place for information and support, not something you find on many forums. The monitors in particular do a great job, the mods too. This place is a beacon for diabetics. As someone else said earlier. If it ain't broke - don't fix it.
