What do the colors of the stars mean?

[Joha]

I know this is a silly question, but I'm just curious. What do the different colors of the stars under the name mean? 

[nhockaday]

Different moderators and admins have different colored stars.

[Joha]

What are the green ones? The poeple that have them do not seem to be moderators. Am I wrong?

[nhockaday]

yes, they are moderators of their country's board.

[Joha]

Pick me, pick me! I would love to be the moderator of my country's board. 

[nhockaday]

Where is your country? Don't you live in the US now? If there is not a moderator in your country's board, then we will see what we can do.

[Joha]

I live in the States, that is correct. Does that disqualify me?    I'm from Colombia. I'm not sure if there is a moderator already. 

[nhockaday]

No, I don't believe there is a moderator. The thing is, there are only 2 posts on that board. As a moderator, we would expect you to keep the board active; post topics that may be relevant to your country. I don't think it will be a problem for you to be a moderator as long as you speak the language and have a vast knowledge of the country. You may have new members, who don't speak English, who have questions that you would need to answer. You have been active on the forums for some time, and that definitely qualifies you. But I can't make any final decisions, so I will pass this on to Lappy and KL.

[Joha]

Maybe when I reach the 500 posts mark they will know for sure I'm very active in the forum  Getting closer 

I do speak the language and was raised in Colombia. I just need to get some new Colombians to sign up 

Now getting more serious, I would love to answer any questions or look for the answers to the people that do not speak English in the Colombian or any Spanish speaking board , but I'm not sure how you keep it constanly active since most of the materials are in English. I would have to translate everything    Can't do that 

How does it work in other countries' boards with different languages? 

[Lappy]

I sent you a PM Joha!

For the translations in the other countries' boards, the mods primarily translate the information we give them so they can answer other people's inquiries in their own language. We don't make it the responsibility of the mods to translate BrillKids files, no - since that would be a very tough job to do, and there are a lot. 

Not to worry, we will be releasing come foreign language content in the future (may not be too soon, but we're working on the development and production) and Spanish is one of the languages we are working on.

[Joha]

I was actually replying to your PM.

[nhockaday]

Well, look at that! 

[Joha]

Here we go! Maybe you could be my mentor   

[nhockaday]

I think you already know that I am here if you need anything 

[KL]

 

congrats, Joha!
