Dan Rigsby - Coding Up Style

My many months of contributions to Microsoft’s MSDN message forums haven’t gone unnoticed.  It was less than a week ago that I finally achieved 5/5 stars, and yesterday I received an email thanking me for my work and asking if I would like to take on a more involved role a forum moderator.  I accepted the honor and promised to take this role seriously.  I help out on the forums because I enjoying helping others learn and learning myself in the process.  I hope that I can keep this up even more a moderator.

Moderators are granted the power to delete, edit, and merge posts.  Moderators can also mark posts as “Answers” which is probably the most important role.  Many people who ask questions, don’t mark the answers that are made.  Marking a post as answered not only gives credit to the answerer, but also causes these posts to show up with a higher rating in search engines.  This can help others who are searching the Internet for their own questions.

Please visit the MSDN Forums (or the new Forums) if you have questions about Microsoft products.  There are many different forum topics and thousands of people who can help and share insights.  While you are visiting, feel free to help out others as well.  As a  community site dedicated to helping everyone learn, it needs your involvement and support.  If you want to get more involved in the community, are seeking to test your skills, or just want to help others, this is the place for you.
