    Kenine, the names used by other forums is irrelevant. On this forum the definition is provided in the T & Cs and that definition is the one we use. If you wish any other name to be used I suggest you contact the Community Manager by email.

    Since you and I will never agree about what moderators should be called Bugs . Why dont we agree to disagree with me calling them moderators like most sensible forum members and you calling them whatever favourite name you llke. After all whats in a name

    Now answer one question Bugs,    On the forum that you and Dianne run, Do you call your moderators Champions I bet you dont. Dianne is an astute lady and she wouldnt let you get away with that. She will probably have chosen something relative to our hobby
    of Caravanning so come on give us the information.

    From what I've seen on the Forum you're talking about K, they're called by their names. I've yet to see anyone question them, their actions, or their decisions. . . .Oh yes, there isn't any decisions due to the fact decent folk are the ones allowed thru
    the door. That is the reason their is no need for a group to champion the forum, the forum users are more than happy to do that themselves.

    Kennine - the term "Champion" is not something I invented. It is the term the Club has decided to use - see the Community Guidelines (which you agree to in order to use this forum) and also see numerous posts by the Community Manager.

    What you are totally missing, whether deliberately or not, is that the Champion role here, for most of CT's Champions, is not what you understand as a "moderator" role on whatever other forums you frequent.

    Personally, I don't care whether you agree with the use of "Champions" on CT or not. And I don't care whether you agree with me!

    Champions are what they are called by the Club - and the role is perfectly clear. And most of the Champions do not undertake moderating.

    That is the way the CC have set up the forum - if you disagree with that, you need to raise it with the Community Manager.

    However, for you to call all of the Champions "moderators" when they are not is clearly inaccurate and misleading - and as can be seen from the second post in this discussion, just causes unneccessary confusion for other CT members.

    What roles people undertake on other forums and what they are called is irrelevant here.

    Cheers

    Bugs

    I don't think anyone's touched any nerve, Husky. Rather it's the inability or unwillingness to see what's blindingly obvious to the rest of us. I think it says a lot for Bugs that he's remained as patient as he has in explaining the situation over and over
    again as one needs to with a stubborn infant.

    Somebody earlier mentioned Google. Which brings to mind that when searching for the meaning and duties of a Moderator that Moderators should be completely fair to all, helpful,  supportive to all , and not take sides in any discussion whether they agree or disagree with what is being posted.

    Not seen much of that on this thread

    By the way, K, I meant to say how much your publicity of the other forum is appreciated. Membership numbers are increasing and they're good people, too. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know your efforts have paid dividends.

    What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet.

    Or in more modern parlance 'am I bovvered?'

    Write your comments here...I agree. The OP was a genuine suggestion which could have been beneficial to the Forum.  The thread became confused when one word in the op was challenged. 

    I'm sure it has all been a lesson to all of us, that everybody has the right to their honest opinion and explanation as to how their opinion was formed.  thankfully now there will be no more confusion. .

    Hi everyone,

    As it stands we currently have some volunteer Champions who can moderate and some that don’t. This is because the original role of the Champion was to offer help and guidance. It wasn’t until the community began to grow and become so active that we realised that we would also need support with moderation and some of our Champions were approached and were happy to help and assist with this. Without their help and support we would be unable to have a community so we are very grateful for the time and hard work they dedicate to Club Together. Moving forward it may well be we only have external Champions that can moderate and this is something we will review in the future. In the meantime the name Champion is because they offer help and guidance to the community and I am sure I am not alone in appreciating their hard work and dedication and grateful for not only the moderation they assist with, but also the help and guidance they offer others on the community. 

    With regards to staff champions, Club staff are all indicated by the staff badge so you will be able to clearly see they are staff and able to offer support from The Club. They all have profile information which indicates how they can help and assist.  

    As mentioned in the ‘introducing our champions’ discussion, I have put together a list of all our champions to summarise their roles and responsibilities, but am awaiting all our current champions to have the opportunity to post first before I publish this and I will then close the discussion with this information.  

    As to the suggestion in the OP, many thanks for posting your idea and we appreciate feedback. We have asked our staff Champions to review and monitor each area of the community which is relevant to their role in order to answer members questions, however if you spot a discussion which you feel would benefit from a Club response please report this to us. Also, please note, you can get in touch with The Club directly by visiting the Contact Us page. We also ask that any complaints are made directly to The Club rather than posting on the community.  

    We will look to reintroduce an improved area for Ask the Experts in the future if members feel this would be helpful and of interest.

    I hope this helps explain and please feel free to re-read the Community Guidelines and FAQs for further clarification. I will now close this discussion as the suggestion has been noted and the conversation has gone off topic. Many thanks.
