Thumbs up Announcement: New Moderator (And a few other things)

New Moderator
I'm pleased to announce that one of our regular contributors has volunteered to share my workload moderating the forum. Like me, he will keep his original username for joining in discussions and will use a separate username for moderating purposes.
'PedalStop' is a professional pilot based in the US.
Although I've recently been appointed one of the 'Super Moderators' (what an embarrassing title!) with responsibilities for all forums, as far as Rotorheads is concerned PedalStop and I are joint moderators. There is no hierarchy - contact either of us as necessary.

Profiles
The forums are anonymous and you're free to say as much or little about yourself as you wish in your profiles. However ..........

Country
If it doesn't compromise your anonymity, would those of you who haven't done so consider revealing at least the country where you're based, even if you don't want to reveal the city.
It's interesting to see how wide our membership base has become and also, it can sometimes be relevant to the opinions you express.

E-mail addresses
I frequently get requests from members to pass on their e-mail addresses to other members with a request to make contact.
I realise some members have personal reasons for not disclosing their e-mail addresses, but if you can disclose yours without compromising your anonymity, it would be a help.
You can still retain anonymity by opening an e-mail account with PPRuNe - it's free. I keep one e-mail address just for PPRuNe messages and another for everything else. That seems to work well. You can use your 'username'@pilot.pprune.com

Aircraft type(s), Biography etc
Again, if you can give a little more information about what you fly, type of ops etc without losing anonymity, I think it would be of interest to other members.

I emphasise, these are just suggestions/requests - the choice remains yours.

Last, but not least ..........
Rotorheads is now widely recognised as the leading helicopter forum in the world. That success is entirely due to the consistently high quality of members' contributions.
Thank you.
And, if you have any ideas/suggestions for further improvement, please let us know.

Note: Profiles can be modified by clicking on the 'user cp' at the top of the page.
