    This is not my website, it belongs to @NeoCHI. I have not investigated what add-ons are possible to XenForo since 2016.

    I created some staff roles to help in managing the site, but again that was long ago and most of those members have moved on. This past week though, @Anomynous volunteered to assume the role of Featured Level Assistant. The responsibility of this role is simply to tag any level featured on Mekorama's Facebook page with the "facebook" tag. This way all those levels can be filtered by that tag and found more easily here as well.

    I'm not sure what a Sectional Moderator is. May I ask where you saw this?

    A Moderator is common role in most forums. They essentially keep order, respond to any Reports, and help the members. I wrote a bit more on the topic here: https://mekoramaforum.com/threads/how-can-i-become-a-moderator.789/#post-6387 .

    No one deletes levels uploaded by flooders. The reason for this is because we don't have enough Moderators around the world always watching the site so they could delete these uploads fast enough. We can only hope that new members read the system notices or that regular members who are online at the time that the member is flooding are able to level comment/Personal Message/profile comment with them to stop.

    Moderators are tasked with deleting custom/personal level thumbnails. The discussion on this topic is here: https://mekoramaforum.com/threads/thumbnails.1057/#post-6237

    Ah, yes, that was one of the ones that was already configured in XenForo when I started as Administrator. Many forums are simply about some topic like a model of vehicle or hobby such as gardening where people discuss things in threads such as this one. Often these threads are organized into sections (like here we have Welcome, Mekorama, and Other). So some of these larger forums may have Moderators dividing up the work by being assigned to moderate separate sections. Since we don't have that much going on in the Forums section (as compared to the Levels section), I deleted the role of Sectional Moderator.

    @nGord
    so sectional moderator may exist in general place
    where many kind of interests gathered in one place
    let say one example like facebook...

    it just "a social media" not specified forum
    where mekorama forum only focuss in talking about levels

    An easier way to say it is that a Sectional Moderator is a Moderator for a specific section. For example, in the gardening forum I linked to above, they have their forum divided into the following sections:
    - Gardening,
    - Plants,
    - Regional Gardening,
    - Not exactly gardening, and
    - General.

    And if they have Sectional Moderators, then they may have one in charge of overseeing the Plants section and another overseeing Regional Gardening, etc.
