I corrected the settings. During the change your name must have crossed into the Moderator zone.

"What are the responsibilitys of a global moderator?"

Global Moderators, keep HMEM a friendly and fun place to visit for the members.
Spammers are a constant threat. HMEM has good automatic spam filters that keep most of it out, but spammers find new ways around the filters so some gets through and the moderators delete it.

Open discussions are encouraged and differences of opinion are common. But personal attacks are not tolerated, when these happen the moderator can edit or deltre the post . Most of the time a warning message is sent by a private message to the poster.

To keep the site family friendly, profanity is discouraged, but mild profanity is usually tolerated if only used occasionally.

For frequent or major abuse of the site guidelines, moderators can suspend a members posting ability for times ranges of a few days to permanently.

The moderators provide assistance to members who are having a problem with the site operation.

Moderators receive no compensation except the satisfaction of helping make HMEM a nice place to visit. As they are builders also they enjoy thier time in the shop as much as you do. They do not read every post. They don't have that much time. Instead, they rely on reported post messages by members. A post can be reported by clicking on the REPORT button at the bottom of each post. If any member thinks a post is questionable they are encouraged to report it. It is better to have too many posts reported than too few. It is helpful if a reason for reporting is included. Then the moderators can sort out what, if any, action should be taken.
