As far as I can remember Sam Vera was always green with the moderator thing.
I have always noticed him to be a really nice person.
Congratulations!

Congratulations to Sam Vara, and thanks to Paul for his service over many years.

No better choice in my opinion! 
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

Wishing you the Best Dear Sam, in your new found role.
It is a time consuming task, I know, and it is mighty generous of you to agree to dedicate your precious time, in this manner. I repeat what Nirodh27 wrote

Re: Welcome new admin Sam Vara!
An admin has access to all the major board functions, whereas a moderator only has the capability to move posts/threads and issue warnings/suspensions. Here at DW, the admins are also the team leaders and set the expectation of how moderators engage their roles.TRobinson465 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2023 3:09 am So like. what is the difference between an admin and mod anyways?
