Right now if you can figure out how to look at all of one member's music though their profile, it is listed in chronological order. If they have been a member for several years, their cruddy first compositions show up first, and their newer, better, more polished submissions are relegated to page two or three. To me, it makes more sense to list everything in reverse chronological order, so that the newest composition is first. I'm not researching Bach's development, I'm checking to see if Thatguy has any new work that I haven't seen, so I want to see the newest pieces first. Just a thought.

Moderators do what their title means: they moderate. They go through the forums to make sure users aren't being too gratuitous or mean, or at least don't break rules of the Code of Conduct. Otherwise, we're just active members, doing whatever - like running or regulating competitions. Mods have no other powers. Admins, on the other hand, can do all of that and change site appearence and functionality. johnbucket, for instance, just moved Advertisements and Member Announcements from the Board section to the Community section to give it more prominence and utility for users: ChristianPerrotta recently advertised some of his published pieces there. And chopin could create a Competition Winners folder if he were interested or had the time - neither of which I'm very sure about, since he doesn't often respond. Safe to say, anyhow, that moderators nudge admins frequently to change things, though sadly we don't have any magical powers to force them to make those changes. These are the essential differences between mods and admins.

I agree with this suggestion - although since I haven't uploaded them cronologically, it's a moot point for me (even though it can be claimed that I've shown little or no development at all :p ).

A rusty barn door also works pretty well
