I have noticed all members have stars along with the number of posts they have made and their farmgirl status title. What is the difference between yellow and green,etc? Just curious.

Hi Ladies,
Just thought I'd pipe in here while you're on the topic...
Everyone seems to be quite curious about the Moderator issue and I am sorry I didn't address it earlier. This is an experiment we came up with to deal with inappropriate posts. We wanted the women on the connection to feel like this is a safe place to post. And although I do try to get on and surf around for awhile everyday to make sure everything is going smoothly, it is all too easy to miss the problems that can and have occurred and I usually don't find those strange posts till it is too late. The fact of the matter is that there are a few of you that are far more familiar with the forum than I can ever be, after all we made it for "you" so we decided to give a few of you some control over this environment so that it will continues to be a nice place for you ladies (and a few gents) to get together and share.
I ended up looking at the list of members and choosing the two members who had the most posts and asking them if they would like to be moderators. Their responsibility is not to erase posts on a whim or censor in anyway. Although they do have the power to delete posts, I have asked them to only to do so if a post is completely out of line and to let us know about it right away. Their main duty is to let myself, MaryJane or Carol know if something is awry so that we can look into it. So basically, you are all moderators, it is the responsibility of everyone in the connection to watch for wayward posters.
To this day only two or three posts have been deleted from the forum. One of these was posted by a company that was trying to use the forum as advertising space and the other two were from teenage boys with possibly too much time on their hands.
So far, things have been pretty quiet, no one seems to be bothering us in our little corner of the universe that is the internet... which is great! Happy Posting. And please let me know of any concerns you any have: taylor@maryjanesfarm.org.
Oh, and yes the color of your stars change according to the number of posts you have made! Cool huh?
Lots of Love,
Taylor

If you go to the FAQ section the answer to your question is there.
Remember back a while ago when we were getting all of those obnixious postings and nobody knew what to do about them? Well having a couple of moderators on the site helps with the elimination of those types of posts before most of you happen to open them and become offended. I was asked if I was willing to accept that responsibility and since I am on the forum quite early in the morning and again in the afternoon or evening nearly every day I accepted this responsibility. It doesn't mean anything except that there are a couple of us able to volunteer to assist Taylor with this monitoring. Hope that this helps.

Okay here I go again, always the curious one about website changes, so I have this question - what is a moderator? I noticed that Clare went from Journey Woman to moderator, and Eileen changed several weeks ago. :)

Dear SourJayne -
You bees are the real stars! You lucky kids, you - and you probably thank your lucky stars to be working at MaryJanes Farm.
Thanks for the answer!

The stars are, like the farmgirl titles, based on how many posts you've written. It was built in to the program when I got my hands on it, so I just left it in. You gain more stars at 10, 50, 200 and 500 posts, I believe. But you gals are all stars in my book!

Good question! I was wondering that myself. Check out the "Welcome Wagon" forum and you'll see how the "rating" goes, regarding the Farmgirl "titles" ...but I haven't figured out the colored stars, unless it has to do with your geographic location. Keeps us guessing, and reading!!!
