    BA moderators work hard and perform many duties . Would love to see pics ,and let us know exactly what your duties are . For example do all moderators do the same tasks ? Do some perform specific duties . We all see you every day but im not sure what each one of you do,

    Mods have a banner under their name, so they're easy to spot when they try to sneak up on you!

    Dont think they sneak up on anybody. They actually work hard. I wanted to know specific task performed by each and pictures if they so desire.

    I know, I do a joke. @John_M does a great job for the NW forum, and @Roguer does an equally great job, especially riding herd on us NBS folks.

    A rare picture of me can be found on the Show Yourselves, BAs! thread. I'm not big into selfies. Excluding those I've taken with my Millennial wife, I've probably taken around a dozen selfies in my life. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Our tasks are identical, but what I tend to focus on is updating the database, either from user entered requests or just on my own (for example, I'm about to enter some notes on the beer I'm reviewing right now). I tend to unofficially curate certain breweries with which I'm familiar, ensuring they stay up to date and the entries remain consistent.

    @gatornation

    Like @Roguer mentioned - were pretty much jacks of all trades - we do moderating in the forums, beer and place edits, database management, approval of beer/place photos, etc. We all have the capability to do everything, so we all just kind of pitch in where help is needed.

    Not that it really matters, I guess, but I'm curious: How many of there are you total? I can only really think of 10 different avatars I can relate to a mod tag off the top of my head lol

    And, I'll echo the thanks others have already shown. The Internet's a crazy place even among these relatively tame forums. Y'all do great work! :grin:

    Here’s the team at any time, knowing that moderators have a little bit of turnover here and there:
    https://www.beeradvocate.com/members/?sort=team

    Which I’m happy to say generally does a pretty quick job with database updates nowadays. Kudos, all!
