On this board the titles you see by a member's name are not status related, but 'Job Descriptions'. They refer to service roles and areas of responsibility that members agree to take on. Administrators are NOT bosses or authority figures. They are simply members doing particular jobs on the forum and to aid the purpose of the forum - helping animals in rescues. They claim the right to be right; the right to be wrong and the right to perform their given roles to the best of their ability and experience, and according to their personal circumstances at any given time. Please allow us to indroduce ourselves individually and reveal what we do... I am Al, AKA 'Addled or Exhausted Al'. ;D My areas of responsibility involve producing items that may be offered for sale to members, sponsored and/or donated to rescues or given as prizes; also to get those packed up and posted out to wherever they need to go. I also liaise with other TRPD groups with members able to sew items for the above purposes on this group's behalf. Part of my job is to try and ensure that we have have sufficient finished stock, raw materials and fittings and to make sure all our suppliers are paid. I cannot do that alone. To perform my job I am interdependent upon many other members and from those that make items or purchases, to those that help to spread the word about what is available and encourage others to support the animal rescue causes that the members here request. I am also able to press the odd button to change member's into team members or service staff, give out passwords to team dens and other password protected boards, and if required and a member qualifies to enter that forum. (I.e. No Cats in Wolves dens, Terrier Kennels or Nag's stables. ;D )

I am Mike, sometimes called any one of a dozen other names and including Doc; Si; the SI, and El Gato (the cat) and because my job is to jump on VICES. Horse people understand these to mean things like kicking; biting; wind-sucking; cribbing and a variety of other nasty habits not necessarily practiced by equines.
Some consider me in the light of a 'horse whisperer', but start kicking off on this forum and it will be your ears I'll be whispering in or you I'll be carting off to the virtual correctional facility. ;D (Locate that as a sub-board in the Quiz & Competitions forum and yes, I have been locked up in there, but there is much to be said for setting a crook to catch a crook.)
However, this forum's ultimate authority is a power much greater than me and, although my admin buttons include the ability to suspend, delete or ban a member, those would only be used in extreme circumstances. I am NOT God but can be 'Ego' - meaning I can Edge God Out - and kick-ass if called upon do do so.
I am very familiar with the ways Triune groups work - they work if individual members work them and are here for the right reasons. Those, in this case, are anything that ultimately aids animals in rescues and there is no harm in having fun and a laugh along the way.

Please can our other administrators on the forum indroduce themselves here and say what they do, as there have been several additions to the team since this was last updated. Thanks.

Hi......I'm Carol and one of the shyer members of the admin team . I'm also one of the newest to the team so still finding my around admin... slowly. My title is.....Administrator and Senior Members' Rep for the 'over 50s members'. I am past my 50's. I found it daunting at times to find my way around and to join in. I was not too good on the PC either ....not much change there I first joined in March 2006.......found I got "lost" often on here then couldn't find the threads I was looking for .....so I gave up . I came back again some months later to try again. This time persevered and asked for help from the admin team.....I found the sales, special projects and the quizzes to start with.....and then had fun. I had worked out how to do things and join in...again.... with the help of the Admin team. Everything is much easier to find on this board since being tidied up recently I never did quizzes before I joined here.....I thought I would need to be super fast and intelligent so no point in me trying ...... How WRONG I was ........Again the Admin team told me how they did it with the search engines. They gave me all the help I needed to join in the fun ........Now I do the quizzes often as.... the rescues always win . So....My job is to help the over 50's (in fact anyone) in any way I can to make it easy for you to join in too. If I can't help or don't know then I can find someone that can and will . Just PM me or any of the admin team (Click on little mail box symbol below my name to the left of my posts or find my name on the right hand side under last posts and click on it) if you would prefer to ask a question privately. Oh yes.....Unlike poor Ali ....I haven't been sent to jail (yet)... but have been known to stir things up just a little....in the nicest possible way of course.....We are never too old to have fun are we ;D Carol

Hi I'm Viv My main role on the board is to look busy so no one gives me any more jobs to do. I look after the quizzes, sometimes run comps and am a member of the Moorland Minx group making odds and ends for the board. I also have to feed Ali on the multiple occasions she ends up in jail
