This is the new shared screen name of the CB7tuner Staff. ALL of the moderators will have access to this account, and can enforce the rules with it.
Why do we have a blanket account for the staff? Well, for a number of reasons.
This account has direct links to the Beginner Forums and the CB7tuner.com Rules in the signature. Any rule enforcing that must be done can be easily understood by following the links in the signature.
ANY moderator can log into this account at any time. That means important PMs (reports of trouble, problems with the site, etc...) will be recieved faster. You don't have to wait for an individual moderator to check their messages.
Anonymity and consistency. It keeps things a little more official. You won't be chastised by your buddy that you just discussed your new wheel selection with, but by the CB7tuner Staff. Sure, it may be the same person, or it may not be. This will allow us to be more consistent with our decisions.
Now, does this give the moderators the ability to abuse their power, since nobody will know who is behind the name? Absolutely not. The moderators are still responsible for their actions just as if they were using their original names. Those on staff have been selected not only for their knowledge and presence, but also their maturity. I don't expect this to ever become an issue.
So, this is it. Expect to see this name every so often, especially when there is trouble. Feel free to PM this account if you need a moderator's attention. Please do not direct any personal messages to this account (eg. asking MRX for turbo info here because his box is full is NOT a good idea!)
