Hi there!

Welcome to BE - with 30 years of being an expat under your belt you should be able to teach us whippersnappers a few things!!

Is this the correct way to reply ?

Thank you for your welcome Jerseygirl , I am sure I am going to enjoy veiwing and participating on this forum. But tell me, as I am new to all this, could you explain the difference, and in what circumstances I should contact a 'concierge', a 'moderator' or a 'administrator'.
As for my past address for the last 30 years or so, they have ,by circumstance only, been pretty evenly split between Bermuda, Kenya, and Zanzibar, but for the last year our primary residence has been in southern Spain

Hi Barry

Welcome to BE.
You have certainly lived ! With your experiences I am sure you will have much to offer to the site. I hope you have fun making new friends.

To answer your question :
Administrators are those who actually run the site - they are the boss !
Moderators are appointed to each forum and effectively 'police' it, by making sure that spammers etc are kept out and that people post with respect to others etc. They also ensure posts go onto the correct threads. They would be the people to complain to if you are unhappy about something.
Concierges are there to assist new members who come onto the site by pointing them to the right forums, answering questions about navigating the site etc. and any other help they can give.

If you haven't already, introduce yourself onto the Spain forum (and the forums of the other places you have lived if you wish) and I am sure you will receive a warm welcome.

If you have any questions, please just ask.

Dread - x

Hopefully the following will answer your question. It was taken from the FAQ's...this is located in the pink bar at the top of each page. Why don't you take a look at some of the other FAQ's?

To become a Moderator one must be helpful and respectful to other members. Moderators, and Concierges, are appointed by Site Admin to oversee specific areas of the site.

Super Moderators have the ability to edit and delete posts, move threads, ban members and perform other manipulations. They can do this across the whole forum.

Moderators have the same responsibilities, and abilities, as Super Moderators, but are assigned specific forums in which they can perform these duties.

When a member reports a post it is brought to the attention of the moderator who is assigned that forum, and to all Super Moderators.

Concierges are not moderators, but instead act as BE tour guides. They are here to welcome new members to the community and to assist them if they have questions about how to use the site. Each Concierge is assigned to the Welcome Inn, and a country forum.


The above information can also be found in the 'sticky threads' at the top of this forum's index page. Please read the sticky threads at the top of each forum before posting in that forum...they are the ones that have 'Read Me' in red font.

We have loads of guests from all over Andalusia, so it is not so far! As for damp, do you realise that this winter it was wetter down south then up north...it is a crazy world, weather wise.
I look forward to reading your posts on the section for Spain.
