New moderators

I'm not sure what you mean or who you are referring to. However, be aware that we will not discuss the status of individual members who may come or go from the forums for their own reasons.

If you want to know who the forum staff members are, you can find them in the Sticky: Wilders Security Forums Staff in the Announcements Forum. Also, all Moderators will have a custom title that identifies their position and a specially colored member name. If there is no moderator title on a person's account, then they are not on staff.

 

I don't believe we've ever had a staff member change their forum nickname (i.e. rename their account). If they did, that could well be something worth noting, I suppose. Though since no one has done that, there are no "old mods with new nick". Of course, their title and color coding would still reflect their position, so they couldn't actually sneak up on anyone or anything like that.

 

Just to speak to the "new" part of the question above, and looking back on this past year, we did add three moderators to our team during 2006...

agoretsky is an ESET support representative for NOD32, and was added as a dedicated ESET Moderator early in the year. Stem is very knowledgeable in firewall software, and was added as a Firewall Moderator a few months ago. And Menorcaman, who has been extremely helpful and active in the Acronis True Image section, was added as a Global Moderator in just these last two weeks.

I'm sure anyone who has read even a small amount in those sections will recognize their names given how active and helpful these three members have been.
