I noticed that the Twilight Town Library forum had Cloudofdarkness as the moderator. However, he is not active anymore. The question arises: Do we need a new moderator for the TTL?

What does a forum moderator do? Can you define the term? SeanWheeler 19:23, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I have no idea what the moderator of that forum does, and I kind of question what's the point of having one.

Maybe to delete inappropriate thread and move thread to the right place? Also warning users that are rude or trolling on the forum.

The supposed "Twilight Town Library Forum Moderator" has been on that page for years; it was here when I first joined the wiki (a year and a few months ago), and I'll venture to guess it was there when the Wiki was first starting. The forum moderator, as I understand it, doesn't have any true power really. They aren't made a moderator/admin in the idea we have: holding election, changing user rights, etc. I believe this position was created in the beginning days of the Wiki to help keep out the starting admins/mods to focus on setting up basic codes/articles/other things for the new Wiki. Regardless of it's true reason or not, I don't believe we need a new moderator for the Twilight Town Library. Any disputes on that forum are handled by other users/staff. Furthermore, we don't have any other problems (normally) from the forum.

So basically, you're saying that they have virtually no power or any use in general, since Staff Members sort out all of the problems in the Twilight Town Library. So is there any point in having one at all?

Pretty much. There really isn't, at least in my opinion, unless there are a lot of inactive staff who can't watch over the TTL pages...but again, any disputes that happen on that forum are handled by other users/staff. In short: No need for a moderator, really. Any problems that happen there are low-case and are properly handled by other users/staff.
