What Are moderators?
There are editors and moderators who help refresh content on the site, but generally it is a moderator who oversees a discussion. In addition to sometimes leading the discussion, they have the ability to edit and delete posts, move threads, and perform other technical manipulations.
  
How do I start a new discussion?
Discussion themes are refreshed and posted only by moderators.

How do I start a new topic within a discussion?
Members can create a new topic in an existing discussion by clicking on the ‘Add New Topic’ link (the icon looks like this   and can be found at the top on the left-hand side while you are in the topic level of a discussion forum). 
 
How can I choose to be notified when there is activity in a discussion?
Only registered users may receive email notification. Click the paper airplane icon   at the top left-hand side of either the topic level or the thread level of a discussion. Choosing the thread level notification will get you only activity within that particular topic thread. Choosing the topic level notification will get you activity across all the topics in a discussion.

FutureMonitor™ will send you an instant email communication confirming your notification choice and then notify you by email when there is activity. Hint: You can also choose to receive email notifications of new posts in a thread without posting in that thread. To manage or view all of your FutureMonitor™ notifications, click the ‘My Notifications’ link that is located at the top right-hand side of all levels in the discussions. 
 
Is there a user ranking system on FutureMonitor™?
Yes, look for the  ' Insightful' at the bottom of every forum post. Members are encouraged to use this ‘Insightful’ tag to rate valuable community contributions where appropriate. When it comes to qualifying for future community privileges, a member’s rank is based on post count and the number of ‘Insightful’ ratings given and received.  

Someone has posted an offensive remark. How do I inform the moderator?
When you are logged-in click the ‘Report to Moderator’ link at the bottom of every post. This tool may be used to report a post to the moderator for any reason. The post will then be highlighted in red until the Moderator takes specific action.

How do I create and vote in a FutureMonitor™ poll?
Polls are created and posted by FutureMonitor™ moderators. Casting a vote is entirely optional and only accessible when you are logged-in. After your vote is cast, you will be shown results of the poll to date.
 
How do I connect with another FutureMonitor™ member off-line?
Providing off-line access information is optional. Clicking on a member's username will bring you to their public profile page. Hint: If you would like to connect with other members, go to your ‘Account’ page  and click on the ‘Public’ Tab to provide your preferred contact method. 
 
Can I search within the forums?
Yes. On the Advanced Search page you have the ability to search on a combination of keywords and filters. Current filters include: entire site, forums only, blogs only, by author, and by date range. A site wide search entry box is always available, located at the top right of most pages.
