How do I promote new moderators on the site?

This ability is restricted to moderators and up.

1. Once the person has created a profile, you can find them by looking at the registered users list in the ' Members'section,Members' section, finding a page they have edited, or by finding a comment they have posted. Click on their username to go to their profile page.
   
   
2. Click on the "Change Permission" button.
   
   
   

3. Select the appropriate permissions for this user.

4. An optional step is to add a note to the user explaining why their role has been changed. Simply type your message into the text area.

5. Click on the "change permissions" button to finish.

An email will be sent to the user notifying them of the change. The next time they log in, he or she will now see the moderators' tools throughout the site. When they go to their profile page, they also see that they're listed as a moderator. To remove a user's moderator privileges, repeat the steps above, and click on the "Registered" button and click "Change Permissions" button.
