Moderators (Mods)
Title: Adventureguide (until changed by moderator/admin)
Responsibility: Moderators are responsible for a wide range of duties. They oversee the board/s they are responsible for, as well as the AKs which work them. They dispense discipline in the forum of warnings and bans. They have the power to remove signatures and a person's ability to use signatures entirely. They have the ability to awards titles and avatar uploads to those forum users which deserve them. General moderators (those not in charge of a specific board) assist the head moderators of the boards they frequent.
Selection: Moderators are currently selected from among the ArchKnights who are 18 years old or older. They are chosen by the Head Forum Administrator.

ArchKnights (AKs)
Title: ArchKnight (Will include "Arch" or "AK" and the name/s of the board/s they work in)
Responsibility: To help the moderators keep the forum clean. They patrol their assigned boards helping users, watching for and dealing with rules violations (such as spam, flaming, trolling, etc). They issue warnings and recommend bans to the moderators. In addition, they keep an eye out for helpful forum users to bring to the attention of the moderators/administrators. They may have other duties depending on which board/s they work.
Selection: AKs are selected from among helpful forum users (who do not appear to actively be seeking power/advancement) by the head moderator of the board/s they frequent. The head moderator discusses their selection with Icemaster Yeti, the head of the ArchKnights, and if he approves, they are brought aboard.

If we trust someone enough to make them a temporary ArchKnight, or promote an ArchKnight to a temporary Moderator, then we trust them enough to promote them full-time. There is no "half" or "temporary." If you feel a specific board is having problems, please let that board's Head Moderator know.
