To help those here figure out what they're allowed to do, as well as who's who, I've created the following list of groups with corresponding board privileges.

Guests (registered and unregistered): Can read all forums, but may post only in the "Introductions" forum. Note: "Unregistered Guests" include anyone who surfs on in.

Special Guests (those guests who have both registered and been validated): Can post in all forums.

Members: Members have the same privileges as special guests, but they have posted an Introduction AND identified themselves as liberal Republicans to gain full membership.

Admins (and future moderators): Anyone who has volunteered or been paid to assist with maintaining the board. Admins and mods may or may not be members. Currently, I am the only admin.

I'll keep you posted when and if these groups ever change.

Cheers,
-Dave
