The "front" moderators :

  - This is a one-year mandate

The "senior moderators":

  - Are registered to receive the posts from the corresponding section of the forum
  - Are backup of the "front moderators", act after 7 days if there has been no action of the front moderator
  - Provide guidance about the ABINIT developer community to the front moderator (whom to contact ?)
  - Make sure that the "front moderator" is indeed active
  - Every year, examine the renewal of the "active moderator", or its possible replacement

==== Hints ====

How to turn on the “watching first post” mode for your category ? Hint : this can be done by clicking on the rightmost icon nearly at the top of the page of the category - just on the right side of the “New topic” button - then clicking on “watching first post”.

How to transfer a topic to another category ? Hint : (1) navigate to the category in which the post to be moved is located; (2) click on the "topics" icon - upper left hand; (3) select the topic to be moved; (4) click on the upper right hand icon (a wrench) ; (5) select "Set category" ; (6) choose the new category for the topic .

How to mark that a post gives the solution to another post ? Hint : in the post that gives the solution to a topic, click on the three horizontal points at the right bottom corner - you will see that one the icons that appears bears the name "solution", click on it... The solution is then copied to the first post with a link to the reply that contains the solution.
